The Laurel Creek Tract is an ideal property for outdoor recreation of all kinds. This 100 acre tract sits on Laurel Creek, a beautiful stream feeding into the Gauley River National Recreation Area. The tract offers great access via Lucas Road along the frontage, and a maintained gravel road for access to the interior of the property. The gently sloped forestland would make a perfect site for your getaway cabin with power running along the road frontage, and service lines running the interior of the property.
