• Remarks Public: This special property is located near Shepherdstown along the quiet stretch of the Potomac River, named Big Slackwater, above Dam 4. The property's most outstanding feature is its spacious flat lawn along 655’ of private deep water river frontage, providing direct access to 12 miles of navigable, recreational  water. The C & O Canal National Historic Park/Towpath, located directly across the river, provides 184 miles of trails along the Potomac and protects your views from any development. Upon arrival, you are greeted by pastoral landscapes of rolling pastures (bring the horses!) and sweeping skies. Continue following the wooded lane to the center on the property where a cozy campsite with small studio cottage and garage are nestled in the trees across from ATV trails. As you approach the waterfront, another clearing to the left serves as the proposed homesite. The location sits atop a bluff overlooking the river and dock below. The tour culminates with the property’s most noteworthy feature — the expansive waterfront. A rare feature of bluff view property is a road to the riverfront; you can drive from the property entrance all the way down to the roughly 1 acre of completely flat lawn along the Potomac. The bluff adds remarkable texture and serves as a backdrop to the lower riverfront portion of the property. Thanks to a wide No-Wake Zone at the public boat ramp one mile upriver, this section of Big Slackwater is very quiet. Shepherdstown, West Virginia provides the opportunity to experience the perfect work life balance - just 90 minutes or less to DC/Baltimore and national/international airports. Nearby Marc stations make for an easy commute. Historic Shepherdstown is a popular travel destination for weekend getaways and was voted 50 Best Small Towns in the South by Southern Living in 2023. The local community offers nationally recognized dining and lodging, arts & theater, shopping, parks and community events. In your down time there are countless options for outdoor recreation. In addition to the C & O Canal National Historic Park, Harpers Ferry National Historic Park is only 30 minutes away, with museums, restaurants, zip lining, white water rafting, tubing and is home to one of the most photographed spots along the 2000 mile Appalachian Trail. Antietam National Battlefield is also an important nearby destination along with other state parks and historic towns. Deep recreational fresh water, peaceful wooded setting with bluff views, private dock for watercraft and sunset watching, local amenities, cultural events and more — all waiting for a special owner!
