Appleseed Johnny's of Frogg Creek - Price $2,000,000
Johnny Appleseed (1774-1845) was born John Chapman and became an American folk hero symbolic of the apple by introducing apples trees into the northeast.
The West Virginia acreage known as "Appleseed Johnny's" is owned by a modern day John Chapman whose roots are reminescent of Johnny Appleseed (beginning as a young apple farmer in the 1970's). According to American legend, Johnny Appleseed was an eccentric and nomadic pioneer celebrated for his acts of charity and his appreciation of simplicity. Like the legend, the modern day John Chapman shares an appreciation for a simpler way of life and over time has purchased the 27 parcels of land that now make up this prime example of West Virginia paradise.
Over the years, John Chapman has called each of these properties home, restoring, renovating, and conserving their natural features. It is his hope that this scenic beauty, natural habitat, and tranquility will be valued as a whole for what it truly offers -- a view into the past and the potential for simplicity to once again become legendary.
An acreage property with on site revenue opportunities.
This rare modern day tranquility has now been made available for sale, offering a foresighted buyer the opportunity to conserve the natural beauty and heritage of West Virginia for generations to come. Given its convenient proximity to the capital city of Charleston, the acreage real estate is an ideal property for a spiritual community or professional retreat, protected state park, or a place to put down roots and build a beautiful estate home for future family generations.
Many of the 1000 acres remain forested and undeveloped except for access roads, horse trails and bridges. Other portions of this beautiful property are move developed with comfortable residential homes, barns, outbuildings, gardens and orchards. It holds the allure of being self-sustaining with rich agricultural land and on site revenue opportunities that include a campground with bathhouse, laundry, general store, and outdoor stage.
