If a gated community in some of the nation’s most beautiful, unspoiled country side is where you belong, then let West Virginia’s Walnut Springs Mountain Reserve take you home.
Almost home West Virginia…when John Denver wrote about his “mountain momma” in his evocative folk ballad, “Country Roads” he surely must have had Walnut Springs Mountain Reserve in mind. The only problem is that this remarkable, all natural community didn’t exist yet. Established in 2004, Walnut Springs is only 3 years young. Yet with its rolling hills, undisturbed views and exceptional housing, you might think that the community is as old as the Blue Ridge and Appalachian mountain chains it calls home.

On a mountain in Monroe County, land once grazed by cattle is converted to is now reverting back to a more natural state. But not entirely so, as blueprints are being drawn for houses to share the slopes with the hardwoods.
The word share is not to be taken lightly in this case. Most of the people living in these houses will take the priceless woods around them seriously. As owners within the Walnut Springs Mountain Reserve, they will share an experiment in environmentally friendly living.

At Walnut Springs Mountain Reserve, panoramic mountain views stretch in every direction, providing the perfect place for people who love the peace and tranquility of the pristine outdoors to appreciate the vastness and simplicity of nature.
Located in Monroe County, West Virginia, just 259 miles from Washington, D.C., Walnut Springs Mountain Reserve is close enough to drive for the weekend, yet far enough away to be a world apart. Here, the Allegheny and the Blue Ridge Mountains meet, the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests merge and the Greenbrier River runs through a lush valley. These 1,250 acres of unspoiled lands have changed little since the days when our nation was founded.

Discover a place outside of time, wild and wonderful, almost heaven, where the long narrow fingers of the ancient Appalachian Mountains caress the face of Monroe County, forming fertile valleys nestled between an awesome display of ridges trailing off to the horizon.
Monroe county is mountains, pristine farmland, pure crystal streams and rivers, and mineral spring waters with unusual qualities. Known for their beauty as well as their productivity, rolling farms of native blue grass, underlain with limestone and bold spring of exceptional purity, dot the landscape. Old Monroe is a quilt of pasture land, mountains and forests. Here, scenic vistas and historic sites abound.
