Cottageville campground offers kayaking, event space and more
Jackson Newspapers
COTTAGEVILLE Rebecca Hoff and her family wanted to find a use for a piece of land that they ve owned for quite awhile.
Then, there was a need for contractors from the Mountain Valley Pipeline to set up camp and that s when it clicked they d use the land for a campground. We had a large parcel of land that was just sitting there looking like a farm and not being used, she said. Initially, there was a need for it.
That was 2017.
But now the pipeline has been nixed and the family is leaning into the camping business even more by offering more options for those who stay on the site.
Hot real estate market for Jackson County. Here s what one Ripley realtor is saying.
RIPLEY Brittany Davis can sum up the housing market in Jackson County with one word insanity. It s been so crazy, she said. It s been a huge blessing but it s changed some things in a way that it s just moving so fast.
Davis, who runs Davis Realty, has been a realtor and broker in the area since 2012.
According to Realtor.com, the median listing home price in Jackson County is $139.9 trending up 7.7% and there are over 100 homes for sale in the county. The problem Davis and others across the country is seeing is a lack of inventory, along with an influx of people who want to buy.
