Several easy to build on home sites with spectacular long range views overlooking the Greenbrier Valley and distant mountains make Barkalin Farm a perfect place to develop a country estate. Climate and soils are conducive to raising grapes and apples so creating an orchard or vineyard would be a fun project. The pastures have been used for grazing cattle and horses but sheep, alpacas and lamas will also do well on the exceptional grasses that grow so well in the region.

Barkalin Farm is predominately pasture land that is well suited for raising livestock. This is limestone country and the sweet soils and cool climate create the perfect mix for the grasses to thrive during the summer months.

A portion of the property is also suited for the production of row crops and vegetables. Several nice garden spots are available but be sure to plant a little extra for the rabbits to enjoy. Pumpkins would do well here too.

There is a farm pond already in place and several other sites would be suitable for creating additional ponds and watering troughs if so desired.

For the water enthusiast, the Greenbrier River is 2 miles away at Fort Spring. The Greenbrier River is the last un-dammed river east of the Mississippi and offers a great float/canoe/kayak experience. The fishing for small mouth bass is considered excellent.

Within an hour's drive are located some of the finest recreational facilities in West Virginia. Winterplace Ski Resort, whitewater rafting / fishing on the New River and Gauley River, 2000 acre Bluestone Lake, Pipestem State Park and Resort and the 80,000 acre New River National Gorge National Park. Five other area state parks and state forests offer unlimited hiking, horseback riding, ATV riding and rock climbing opportunities. Snowshoe Ski Resort is 2 hours drive through some of the most scenic country on the East Coast.

The world renowned 4-Star Greenbrier Resort, home of the PGA tour, is just 20 minutes away. Several other area golf courses are available. Rock climbing, ziplining, horseback riding and the 100 + mile long Hatfield-McCoy ATV trail makes for a very active recreation area.
