OT: Anyone live in Preston County?

[MountaineerWV]

Looking for some information. Thinking about a place to move to in a few years. Seen property in Terra Alta at Alpine Lake and a few others. Let me know what you think of it. Thanks.

I have 600 acres not far from Terra Alta. Its a totally beautiful area. Alpine lake has developed a lot of houses over the years, but its a little far from things so it never blew up like they hoped. If you want quiet, good scenery and dont mind having to drive a ways for shopping, then its good to go.

Approximately how far from Morgantown?

45 or so to morgantown. You'll be between Oakland MD one direction and Kingwood wv the other. Definitely the place for snow. It's another world from Morgantown weather wise.

Better like the snow.

Seems to be the common theme in the thread. So I'm guessing it's pretty bad? I currently live in a place that gets 12-20" a year, live on a hill, which sucks when it does snow.

You get 20" easily in one night, many times a winter in Preston county. My grandma lived in Bruceton Mills and I spent a lot of time there with more family in Hazelton. One of the reasons I moved to Atlanta after graduation.

I remember having to drive Route 7 to and from Morgantown through Terra Alta and Kingwood before I-68 was finished. It was never fun in the winter.

600 acres! Oh the beauty of a private shooting range!!! I would be in "almost heaven." My envy envelops me.

Just as a heads-up...my Mom inherited a Lot at Alpine Lake that she's held for years. She's been considering selling it, so let me know if you're at all interested and I can send you the details.

Shooting out to 1000 yards is possible up there for sure! Big bucks and brookies. I love it up there. Deer camp
