LOCATION
Rockcliff Forest is located in Greenbrier County, WV near Lewisburg, Rupert, Rainelle and the unincorporated community of Sam Black. This 101-acre agricultural-timberland-recreational opportunity is located in the scenic, mountainous region of southeastern West Virginia. The surrounding Greenbrier County landscape is part of the southeastern Ridge and Valley Region, a scenic tapestry of elongated hardwood Allegheny & Appalachian mountain ranges. Much of Greenbrier County remains undeveloped and is characterized by its scenic farm valleys, small communities and large expanses of hardwood forest.
Rockcliff Forest, with nearly 95 acres of mature forest, represents an opportunity to create a classic family ownership legacy for the next tenure, or to carefully craft a rural residential project for future cabin sites. Terrain is typical of the region and considered rolling to mountainous, with upland hardwood flats and ridges separated by narrow hollows that flank the lower lying stream drainage. A good portion of the woodland is flat to moderately rolling.

ACCESS
Year round access to the property is excellent. The property offers approximately ½ mile of frontage along Molly Road (WV Rt. 8/1) which travels through the northern portion of the property providing direct access to the public road system. A twenty (20) feet wide right-of-way provides access to the southern portion of the property.
FOREST/TIMBER RESOURCES
The distinguishing features of Rockcliff Forest's timber resource include its unusually high hardwood sawtimber and pole stocking with a basal area per acre of 145. This stocking is well above average for the region. This well managed timber resource can provide a great deal of flexibility to the next ownership in terms of potential harvest revenue and can be managed to provide cash flow opportunities to offset holding cost and long-term asset appreciation.
The forest is healthy and there are no signs of pest infestations of Gypsy Moth. The Emerald Ash Borer may be present and it is anticipated that the Ash component will be comprised by the borer in the next decade. There have been no forest fires in the recent memory.
The forest floor is home to several types of mushrooms, medicinal plants, wild ginseng, ferns and cool green mosses. One could spend a lifetime getting to know this inviting environ.
AGRICULTURAL RESOURCES
There are approximately 4 acres of open ground with most of this area comprised of excellent grassland suitable for grazing or for making hay.
WILDLIFE
Rockcliff Forest has a mixture of hayfields/pasture, mature forest and abandoned farm fields, coupled with the abundant water supply from the pond, creeks and springs, which creates the perfect wildlife habitat. The miles of "edge effect" created between field and forest is the perfect habitat for all the resident wildlife. Even the county road edges of the private drive are planted with a wildlife mix creating a ½ mile wildlife food plot. White tail deer, wild turkey, squirrel, rabbit, raccoon, fox and many species of songbirds, owls and raptors make up the resident wildlife population.
The hardwood forest provides the essential nutrient source and produces tons of hard mast including acorns, hickory nuts, beech nuts and black walnuts. Soft mast includes stag horn sumac, black cherry, tulip poplar seeds, maple seeds, autumn olive berries and blackberries.
A number of Bald Eagles have been spotted up and down the Greenbrier and New Rivers and are a thrill to see with wingspans of 6-7 feet.
WATER
Rockcliff Forest is blessed with three large hollows, several ephemeral streams and a few springs creating topographic relief throughout the property that flow during rain events and snow melt.
MINERAL RESOURCES
The owner has chosen not to lease out any mineral-oil and gas rights and all rights the owner has will convey with the property.
