Peters Mountain Farm of 102 acres is nestled at the foot of mighty Peters Mountain. Peters Mountain is often called the ocean of Monroe County, West Virginia. The 52-mile stretch of Peters Mountain in WV is also much of the boundary with the Commonwealth of Virginia counties of Giles, Craig, and Allegheny. The Appalachian Trail traverses part of the crest of Peters Mountain. The Allegheny Trail also reaches its southern terminus here at the state boundary. The farm is easily described as having some of the best range of breathtaking views in all directions. Views of Swopes Knobs at Union, and even past Lewisburg and the fireworks of the WV State Fair. West views towards Beckley include mighty Keeney Mountain and to the south East River Mountain. LOCATION
