DESCRIPTION

This beautiful .63 acre waterfront lot  in Shaw-Mi-Del-Eca Village on the Greenbrier River is just a few miles east of the charming, historic town of Lewisburg and just west of White Sulphur Springs, home of the world famous Greenbrier Resort.

Shaw-Mi-Del-Eca Village offers an abundance of common areas.  Hiking trails provide access to the Greenbrier River and through the surrounding mature woodland.  An adjacent 20 acre wooded island in the middle of the Greenbrier River is a common area for all residents and their guest to explore and enjoy.

A few of the owners the Village own multiple lots, which gives the property an estate feeling as fewer homes have been built with larger grounds surrounding them.  The abundant common areas are well maintained and the old maple trees scattered throughout these areas create an enchanting backdrop.

From your backyard you can picnic, roast marshmallows, or go for a swim.  Grab a canoe, kayak or tube and go exploring.  Enjoy a peaceful stroll or take the dog for a long walk along the roads of the Village.  Hold or attend an event in the large Community Center.  Ponder the peacefulness at the old dam in the channel.

Underground utilities, and protective covenants and restrictions are in place.   Annual dues are only $300 per year.

Hailing from a region of rich history, Shaw-Mi-Del-Eca was named after four Native American tribes that inhabited the area prior to the nineteenth century: Shawnee, Miami, Delaware, and Seneca.  Initially, Shaw-Mi-Del-Eca Village was known as Camp Shaw-Mi-Del-Eca and was operated as a summer camp for boys from 1929 through 1971 by the Greenbrier Military School in Lewisburg, West Virginia, in a non-military manner.     After the closure of the Greenbrier Military School in 1972, the camp was in operation as a summer camp for boys and girls until 1978 when it was permanently closed.

Residents of Shaw-Mi-Del-Eca Village enjoy serene, beautiful surroundings and outdoor recreational activities inside the privacy and safety of a gated community.

SURROUNDING AREA

Historic Greenbrier County:

Lewisburg, which is the Greenbrier County seat, was voted the Coolest Small Town in America in 2011, combining the warmth of a close community with the sophistication of more urban locations. The thriving downtown historic district offers year-round live productions presented at the State Professional Theatre of WV, Carnegie Hall, distinctive dining venues, antique shops, award-winning galleries/boutiques, and two summer-season farmer’s markets. Greenbrier Valley Medical Center is a modern hospital and all attendant medical facilities, along with the many big box stores.

Lewisburg is home to the WV Osteopathic Medical School (800 students) and the New River Community and Technical College. The area is a strong economic generator with a solid workforce employed in county/state government, tourism, hospitality, medical, education, retail, construction, wood products, mining and agriculture.

The world-renowned Greenbrier Resort, with 800 rooms and 1600 employees, is located nearby in the sleepy little town of White Sulphur Springs. The 4-Star resort has a subterranean casino and is home to the PGA tour, the “Greenbrier Classic.” Several other area golf courses are available in the area – including Oakhurst Links, America’s first golf course, where guests play using old style hickory-handled clubs and ground-burrowing golf balls!

The Greenbrier County Airport with WV’s longest runway provides daily flights to Atlanta and Washington DC. A picturesque train ride from White Sulphur Springs connects the area to DC, Phili, Chicago, and many other locations. By car, DC is 4 hours away and Charlotte is only 4.

GREENBRIER RIVER

The Greenbrier River is 173 miles long is the last free flowing river east of the Mississippi. It is an excellent river to float or canoe and is well known for its large and small mouth bass fishing. It is the gateway to water recreation and fun as it is at most times lazy and easy to navigate.

The Greenbrier River is formed by the confluence of the East Fork Greenbrier River and the West Fork Greenbrier River in the town of Durbin, West Virginia. From Durbin the Greenbrier River flows southwesterly through Pocahontas, Greenbrier, Monroe, and Summers Counties. It flows through several communities including Cass, Marlinton, Hillsboro, Ronceverte, Fort Spring, Alderson, and Hinton. The Greenbrier River joins the New River in the town of Hinton, West Virginia.

GREENBRIER RIVER TRAIL

The 77 mile long Greenbrier River Trail is operated by the West Virginia State Parks and is a former railroad grade now used for hiking, bicycling, ski-touring, horseback-riding, and wheel-chair use. The trail passes through numerous small towns and traverses 35 bridges and 2 tunnels as it winds its way along the valley. Most of the trail is adjacent to the free-flowing Greenbrier River and is surrounded by peaks of the Allegheny Mountains.
