1,050 Acres




Our farm is located in the heart of Appalachia on 1,000+ acres in North Central West Virginia. We raise grass-fed cattle and sheep and pastured hogs, from birth to finish. Our farm is home to a thriving white tail and turkey population. We offer lodging and outdoor adventures of hunting, fishing and hiking for families and outdoorsmen.  

Located in the rolling ridges of Barbour County just a few miles from Tygart Lake State Park, our 1,050-acre working farm offers a true Appalachian hunting and outdoor experience. Set in the hills, the property is a blend of productive pasture ground and wild timber: perfect for whitetail deer and Eastern turkeys!

Available Lodging:

Our on-site cabin comfortably sleeps 3–4 adults or a family of five. It features a bedroom, loft, full bath with shower, and a well-equipped kitchen, perfect for extended stays or weekend escapes. When you’re not hunting, guests can cast a line in our 1-acre pond stocked with bass and bluegill, or hit the trails for hiking, mountain biking, and photography. The farm is also very close to good public fishing opportunities in Tygart Lake and a number of fly fishing rivers and creeks. 

The ranch is located:

  • 7 Miles from Tygart Lake State Park
  • 24 Miles from Bridgeport and Interstate Access to I-79
  • 34 Miles from Morgantown & University of West Virginia
  • 108 Miles from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
