Description
Rare opportunity to own a true piece of paradise.
gorgeous 5.4 acres in a subdivision with a nature preserve and 250 feet of water frontage on tranquil back creek.
the birch creek subdivision is located a short 20-minute drive from i-81 and martinsburg in scenic back creek valley. with large lots and natural beauty, you will feel the tranquility and safety of this unique community. the owner has developed this lot over the past 20 years as a private park for his family and is reluctantly offering it as a perfect place to build your dream home.
your back yard will include your very own nature preserve on back creek. the creek is a 59-mile-long tributary of the potomac river that flows north from frederick county, virginia, to berkeley county in west virginia's eastern panhandle. its name reflects its location to the west of north mountain. the perspective of colonists from the east in the 18th century led them to call it "back creek", because it lay to the back of north mountain. it is fed from numerous natural springs along its course. the nearby park's gap bridge crosses back creek at tomahawk and is listed on the national register of historic places.
admire the towering trees and walking trails that lead you to the spacious picnic area on back creek. you will feel like you are miles away from civilization when you are actually in a subdivision. walk down to the crystal-clear waters of back creek to enjoy the serenity of this amazing property. pay close attention to the direction of the water as it often appears to be flowing backwards!
come see and appreciate a wonderous experience!
