981 Eagles Nest Rd

A cedar cabin tucked behind a private gate near the top of the hill in Bowden, West Virginia, listed at $149,999. Built in 2005, the 691-square-foot cabin sits on approximately 2.74 wooded acres just a short drive from Elkins, with an open main-level living area, a loft bedroom with its own upper deck, and a large front porch.

The land and setting

The 2.74-acre lot is wooded and private, reached through a gated entrance near the top of the hill, with the listing emphasizing the peaceful, secluded mountain setting within convenient reach of town.

A large front porch off the main level offers a spot to take in the surrounding woods.

The cabin

The cabin is 691 square feet, built in 2005, with one bedroom and one bathroom. Warm wood finishes throughout, cedar siding, and a metal roof give it its rustic mountain character, and the open main-level living area includes a propane fireplace.

An open loft bedroom sits above the main level, with its own adjoining upper deck and a second propane fireplace.

A whole-house generator is included, adding convenience for a property that offers an opportunity to make it your own.

What to know before you call

The listing is direct about the work still needed: the bathroom is unfinished, with the shower plumbing roughed in but not completed, and improvements are needed to the water system. The photos confirm this clearly, including exposed plumbing where the shower will go.

This is priced with that work in mind, offering potential for a buyer seeking privacy and a mountain setting who’s comfortable finishing the bathroom and addressing the water system themselves. At 12 days on market, this is a fresh listing with likely little room to negotiate yet.
