39 KILE KNOB RD Franklin, WV 26807

The one room cabin sits on 8.26 acres of land and is recorded as Tract #1. There is deeded non-exclusive access to a 9.48 acre Common Area for the development that includes Kile Knob property and the hiking trail. That tract is adjacent to Tract #1. This makes the property feel much bigger and access to the grand views from Kile Knob are a brief walk. The private driveway winds up the property to the cabin.

A tall multi rock formation near the Kile Knob Trail marks the Western boundary. There are two stakes near the driveway entrance that mark the Southern boundary. From the Southern boundary, the property stretches out like a baseball diamond. In the Southern lowlands of the property between the cabin and the driveway entrance is a flat meadow that deer like to walk through and the owner has set up a modest walking trail down to it. Great area for a firepit and roasting marshmallows. The driveway itself is a hiking asset that completes an enjoyable hiking loop when combined with the Kile Knob hiking trail and deer path that goes by the shed. The shed houses the electric inverter, has a separate room for batteries, and has plenty of room left over for tools and storage. The South Facing deck has a propane gas grill and picnic table. The mature Oaks that anchor three of the four corners of the house provide fantastic shade in the Summer. The North facing deck has great views of the valley. Tree-work was performed to enhance the views.
Electric- The house has a top-of-the-line Magnum inverter located in the shed. The batteries have not had any issues and have never failed. The power is supplied strictly via solar panels on the roof of the cabin.
Heating- The cast iron stove provides great heat on cold nights. The dampers allow for slow controlled burns to keep wood burning long into the night.
Water- Owners always brought their own drinking water to the cabin. Gutters collect rainwater and feed a cistern above the driveway. A small blue pump in the utility closet provided the pressure to the shower and the sink in the bathroom. A tankless water heater was connected to the LP tanks and there is a composting toilet.
