PROPERTY DETAILS
WATER RESOURCES
A dashed blue line stream flows through the property for about mile before leaving the property and draining directly into Summersville Lake. There should be water flow during rain events and snow melt.
MINERAL RESOURCES
All rights the owner has will convey with the property. West Virginia is one of the states in the US that has two ownership titles, those being SURFACE RIGHTS and MINERAL RIGHTS. A title search for mineral rights ownership has not been conducted. A mineral title search could be conducted by a title attorney at the same time when the surface title search is being conducted.
