Usually, when this kind of thing happens, it's a firefighter committing the arson. ....

I would say that is occasionally the cause, not 'usually'.

I would say that is occasionally the cause, not 'usually'.

More frequent than many would wish to admit:

These individuals often exhibit an egotistical need to be a "hero" or find themselves bored and lacking social maturity

The volunteer firefighters, including a former police officer and an employee at a state prison, were charged with setting 13 fires over a two-year period

Roughly 100 firefighters every year are convicted of arson and of those 100, the majority are serial arsonists. The vast majority are from Volunteer Fire Companies in rural areas where the opportunity to be a "hero" is extremely appealing.

If I was going to move to the sticks of West by god Virginia which would be great I’d want some more sticks. 20 acres would be on the low side of starting point. But if someone were just looking for a legal residence address that was is a more friendly 2A state then some of these listings make sense.

If you're just looking for a getaway with close access to lots of good stuff to do, these fit the bill nicely, especially if you have kids and need to keep the MD area job. Acreage is starting to get expensive east of the US 219 corridor.

I agree they are good for that.
You ain’t kidding about the price going up. I have a cabin in Garrett but that build was more about the lake than land based outdoor activities so it’s only on 2 acres. I would love to have a 100+ to do whatever I please but I think that ship has sailed. Good luck to those who can make the jump

You can still find it west of the US 219 corridor in WV. Especially over towards I-79 and west. The Coalfields are full of hundreds and thousands of acres for sale for a few bucks and acre.

Here's one in the Buckhannon area (Tallmansville in reality, but not a bad place to live by any means) with 77.61 Acres for $380 that is relatively turn-key (new paint, carpet, some updates to the kitchen and bath, and it's all set) that even includes the western portal of the Goodwin Tunnel (.pdf attached) on the Coal and Coke Railway.

Mannington. Hundred. A lot of property goes to tax sales. A lot of poor people in Wv. Kids move and don’t want the farm. Some stuff goes real cheap. Just have to constantly look and be ready. I lost great deals paying more and sellers wanting quick settlement paying cash get the bargains.

Yep! hell of a hunting camp if nothing else. It was clearly a working farm at one point. Probably from the late 1700s on into the 1970s or 80s. The kids probably didn't want to farm, so they held onto the property for hunting. Now their kids have grown up and moved too far away and are selling it.

A coworker out west had a hunting farm he owned in a LLC with 4 buddies. It had a few tillable acres that were rented out and some CRP, the rest was playground. It still required a number of 'work weekends' to brush hog, fix the relentless rot on the shooting houses and maintenance on the old farmhouse.

The work is a given but certainly part of the process to have a play property. What’s good about that location is it’s close enough to my cabin that it’d be just property with no need for a livable space. Just a really good shed with water and electric.

Now, this is one that if I had the capital freed up to buy, I'd be bidding on. Who doesn't want to own their own waterfall?
