Indian Creek takes its name from a Native American trail that crossed the Appalachians from the valley of the Ohio River to that of the Great Valley of Virginia. "It was the interstate of the Indian world." Indian Creek is a tributary of the New River. It is one of Monroe County's main drainage basins. Indian Creek begins its journey near Salt Sulphur Springs and drains tens of thousands of acres on its winding 30-mile-long trip through pastoral farms, steep mountain canyons, wide bottomland forests, wetlands, and marshes before ending its trip close to Crumps Bottom, where it enters the New River. Indian Creek is an excellent fishing stream that maintains water throughout the year. Other activities include swimming in the deep pools, boating, tubing, canoeing, and kayaking HIGHLIGHTS 37 Acres +/- The beautiful Indian Creek Valley of Monroe Wild and Wonderful Monroe County Beautiful mountain and creek views Direct access to wonderful Indian Creek, approx. 500 feet +/- Excellent opportunity for a campgrounds 680 feet of frontage on Indian Creek Road 850 feet of frontage on Route 12 across from Calvary Church Located in a low-traffic farming community Excellent recreational area for kids and adults Off grid single-wide with addition mobile home, current owner residence Excellent bank barn 32 x 36 constructed in 2021, plus a 12-foot lean too 14 x 24 workshop with half bath and basement 12 x 20 shop building Large, fenced game bird pheasant raising pen Churn drilled 83-foot well with ample water and no sulphur Gravel driveway Low property taxes Septic system Amish Community nearby 10 minutes to the medical clinic Historic Cook's Mill nearby Minutes to Peterstown, historic Union, and Hinton Easy drive to Roanoke's jet airport Amtrak train station at nearby Hinton Pence Springs Flea Market is a 20-minute drive Superior access by state-maintained paved roads - FedEx, UPS, and USPS delivery Cell phone coverage is good in most areas with Verizon Fur-bearing - deer, black bear, squirrel, rabbit, bobcat, raccoon, fox, chipmunk, opossum Winged wildlife - eagles, hawks, owls, ravens, turkeys, and Neotropical songbirds LOCATION Google Coordinates: 37.530880°(N), -80.771918°(W) Address: 1269 Indian Creek Road, Ballard, WV 24918 Elevation Range: 1523 ft. to 1820 ft. +/- 15 minutes to Peterstown 20 minutes to Hinton 35 minutes to Princeton & I-77 30 minutes to Union 45 minutes to Athens and Concord University 45 minutes to Camp Creek State Park & Forest 50 minutes to Mercer County Airport, Bluefield 55 minutes to Blacksburg, VA, and Virginia Tech 55 minutes to Lewisburg 60 minutes to Beckley 60 minutes to Raleigh County Memorial Airport, Beckley 65 minutes to Greenbrier Valley Airport, Lewisburg 20 minutes to Bluestone Lake, Hinton 35 minutes to Pipestem Resort State Park 50 minutes to Moncove Lake State Park, Gap Mills FARMING The property is a working farm with horses, chickens, vegetable gardening and is used as a brooder for grouse to be commercially sold.
