A Once-in-a-Lifetime legacy property known historically as "Tippecanoe." Opportunities of this magnitude are extraordinarily rare. This unrestricted tract offers an unmatched combination of natural beauty, history, recreation, and development potential that may never be duplicated. One of the property's most remarkable features is that a portion of the land lies between the Potomac River and the C&O Canal National Historical Park—one of the last known tracts where private ownership exists in this unique setting. With nearly a mile of frontage along the Potomac River, beautiful bottom fields, county road access, frontage on state forest land, and adjoining National Park property, this is truly a one-of-a-kind offering. Located just 1.5 miles from Paw Paw, WV by road and a little over one mile along the C&O Canal Towpath from the historic Paw Paw Tunnel, the possibilities are endless. Purslane Run flows through the property, passing beneath the canal through a historic viaduct, while an 1800s cemetery serves as a reminder of the property's rich heritage. Additional improvements include an older mobile home with well and septic already in place, a pond, and an extensive network of roads and trails created through recent timbering, providing exceptional access throughout the property while enhancing wildlife habitat. The upper elevations reward you with long-range mountain views, while the river bottom offers fertile fields and exceptional water access. Whether your vision includes a private family estate, hunting and fishing preserve, campground, Airbnb village catering to canal travelers, residential development, equestrian property, or an investment in one of the Mid-Atlantic's most unique recreational tracts, this property offers virtually unlimited possibilities. Conveniently located just two hours from the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore metropolitan areas, this is more than just a piece of real estate—it's a legacy property unlike any other. Super rare. Super unique. Simply one of the most extraordinary land offerings to come to market in the region.
