Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

Unrestricted waterfront land known historically as “Tippecanoe,” featuring a portion of the tract lying between the Potomac River and the C&O Canal National Historical Park. The property includes nearly a mile of Potomac River frontage, bottom fields, and frontage on state forest land, with adjoining National Park property. Purslane Run flows through the land and passes beneath the canal through a historic viaduct, with an 1800s cemetery on-site.

Existing improvements include an older mobile home with well and septic already in place, along with a pond. The property also has an extensive network of roads and trails created through recent timbering, providing access throughout the tract and contributing to wildlife habitat.

Road access is provided via a county road, and the property is located about 1.5 miles from Paw Paw, WV by road, and a little over one mile along the C&O Canal Towpath from the historic Paw Paw Tunnel. Property boundaries shown in provided materials are approximate and not based on a survey.

Key Highlights

• Unrestricted tract with navigable waterfront along the Potomac River and waterfront access
• Nearly 1 mile of Potomac River frontage plus bottom fields for fertile river‑adjacent use
• Portion of land lies between the Potomac River and C&O Canal National Historical Park
