OVERVIEW

Twelvemile Creek Forest was so named by the creek that runs through the property.   This property is a great investment opportunity with easy access from Route 460 and Interstate 77.   With the network of trails on the property, and with visibility from Interstate 77, Twelvemile Creek Forest would make an excellent location for cabins and ATV trails.  The Hatfield & McCoy Trailhead is only a few miles away and just adds to the fun that you can enjoy on this property.  Your imagination is your only limitation.  If you are a family looking for a place to build a home or for a getaway retreat, this property would be an excellent choice.  With tourism being a large focus in Mercer County, this property is attractive to investors.

TWELVEMILE CREEK FOREST

To the investor, the Twelvemile Creek Forest is a boundary that is ready for timber harvesting. With a mix of Appalachian Hardwoods and accessibility already in place with a road that goes to the summit of the mountain, this forest boundary would be excellent for select-cut timber harvesting.  A select-cut harvest of timber with dimensions of 18″ to 30″ and larger would allow the forest to be opened and the smaller timber to grow for future harvesting.  The total value of timber on this property has not yet been determined, but with favorable diameter-based extraction, the timber amenity represents a strong component of the value to the investor.

WILDLIFE

To the nature enthusiast, Twelvemile Creek Forest is a forest teeming with wildlife.  Deer, bear, turkeys, coyotes, and smaller animals, such as squirrels, rabbits, opossums, raccoons, and an abundance of birds of all kinds, allow the hunter or the nature enthusiast to have a place with an abundance of wildlife to either hunt or view.  With trails and roads networking the property, accessibility is excellent, and whether by walking or by all-terrain vehicle, this is a must-see property for those who love the outdoors.
