Lot 186 is on the rim in Land Resource's Roaring River development! Incredible view and one of the first to have utilities. Roaring River is a 3,700 - acre development located less than an hour southeast of the capital city of Charleston, WV. This will be a high-end project overlooking the historic New River Gorge National River and is designed to appeal to families and outdoor enthusiasts looking for a second home. It is one of the first of many developments planned in this growing, picturesque region of West Virginia. Price is negotiable.Roaring River is still in its early phases of development--a diamond in the rough--with much potential, though perhaps long-range. This area looks like the Smoky Mountains did 20 years ago, and several developers have projects planned in the area. Lots sizes will be a half-acre or larger and will remain largely forested in accordance with the developer's protective covenants. Building height restrictions will render the development virtually undetectable from a distance. Lowe's, Wal-Mart, Arby's, and Bob Evans recently opened stores in this area, signaling further signs of growth.Roaring River is a project of Land Resource (LR)—an Atlanta-based developer that specializes in designing mountain and coastal communities that preserve the natural integrity of the land. A well-organized operation with significant assets, nationwide advertising, and a string of successful projects across the southeastern United States, LR is a highly respected name in the industry.Roaring River plans to release 1,200 sites along the west side of the New River. Lots sizes will be a half-acre or larger and will remain largely forested in accordance with LR’s protective covenants. Building height restrictions will render the development virtually undetectable from a distance. Home sites were first released for sale in early 2006 and since June of 2006 there have been 80 lots go under contract. Concerns from local and national environmental groups, that initially slowed progress, have been met and Roaring River is currently ahead of schedule with the first vertical construction scheduled to begin within 90 days. Investors and builders are the main buyers at this point and infrastructure is going in spring 2007.Amenities planned at Roaring River will include a Grand Lodge overlooking the New River Gorge, the Basecamp Recreation Area that will include an outdoor amphitheater, village pavilion, tent platforms for camping, horseshoe pits, picnic areas and a fire pit. Other amenities planned are a helipad, tennis courts, indoor/outdoor pool, nature and fitness trails that will wind along the rim of the Gorge to overlook stations and multi-use sports fields. Sharing a border with the New River Gorge National River provides access to world-class whitewater; class II – V rapids, on the New River as well as the nearby Gauley River. These protected areas also provide for hiking, biking, fly-fishing, rock climbing and horse-back riding, as well as some of the richest history of industryin the country. During the winter, top rated skiing and snowboarding at Snowshoe Mountain and Winterplace resorts are a short drive away.Land Resource has a significant resource earmarked for national advertising on this development. USA Today and WSJ ads on a regular basis thru mid May 2007. The state of West Virginia also recently launched a national marketing campaign to promote the state's natural beauty and recreational appeal.This is a true diamond in the rough. Land is beautiful, many lots have great views, and I like Fayetteville! I look forward to seeing what this mining area does in the next 10 years! Is this the Smoky's 20 years ago?
