Wolf Creek (Wolfcreek) is one of the oldest settlements in the Greenbrier Valley, dating back to the very frontier days. Baughman’s Fort near Alderson at the mouth of the Wolf was purportedly settled in 1751. Information about Baughman’s Fort is available from the local historical societies.

Today, Wolf Creek (Wolfcreek) is a sleepy, pastoral village in Monroe County with a Post Office, a church, and a community building, with a sparse population living near the waters of Broad Run, Wolf Creek, and their tributaries.

The Greenbrier Valley and Monroe County today: Much of the past is still alive in Monroe County. The County seat of Union is a modern-day Mayberry, where folks still speak to each other in passing. Union offers all the shopping and business needs for everyday life; you will find an excellent hometown supermarket, hardware, quaint restaurants, an attorney, insurance agents, a pharmacy, the Bank of Monroe, the courthouse, service stations, and many other businesses. One thing that you will not find in Monroe County is a 4-lane highway, a franchise fast-food restaurant, or a stoplight—Monroe County still has an agriculturally based lifestyle with farm families that go back hundreds of years. The population of Monroe County is 13,401; however, the cattle population has historically been higher.

The Farmhouse was constructed circa. 2005, a one-and-a-half-story timber frame home with log siding. Outstanding views of Keeney’s Mountain (the highest point in Summers County), The Knobs, Flat Mountain, and Wolf Creek Mountain. The home has four bedrooms and three baths, a mudroom, a large kitchen with excellent storage and appliances, a great room, and an office area. The great room features high ceilings and a stone-and-timber front propane fireplace. Beautiful wide pine flooring is throughout much of the downstairs, with tile in the mudroom, kitchen, and baths. The home has lots of natural light and feels immediately comfortable as you enter. Multiple exterior doors provide access to the exterior and outdoor decks throughout. The kitchen is a large area with ample room, a center island, and lots of excellent storage, and it is equipped with a 6-burner Viking commercial-grade gas range. Modern stainless steel front appliances include a Bosch dishwasher, a large Whirlpool refrigerator, and a Faber range hood.  The home is heated by an outdoor Nature’s Comfort wood stove (circa 2016) housed in a custom building/woodshed measuring 10 ft. x 23 ft. The home also has central air and heat HVAC via a Trane heat pump for the main body and an American Standard heat pump for the guest apartment. The home has several inviting decks on both levels. The outstanding covered breezeways from the guest apartment and the large garage are excellent, relaxing spots. The owners have enjoyed family reunions, get-togethers, and other special events throughout the 4 seasons at the farm. The farmhouse is move-in ready and awaiting the new family.

The Guest Cottage is the perfect home for a farm helper or an extra guest. The house was constructed circa 1997 using reclaimed brick. The cottage is approximately 760 sq. ft., with a single bedroom, a 3/4 bath, a kitchen, and a living room. The home has central HVAC with a 2025 heat pump and a Fisher-type wood-stove insert in the living room fireplace. The gallery kitchen features lovely cabinetry, a double SS sink, modern appliances, and an attached washer-and-dryer area. The quaint setting of the Cottage offers great privacy as it is the last property where the county road ends. The front and rear decks at the cottage are excellent locations for any time of day to enjoy the gorgeous pastoral setting and the long view of the mountain ranges. The property has storage buildings and a great open deck with outstanding long-range mountain views. The backyard has a large fenced-in pet area.

Currently, the farm is being used for family farming and gardening. In recent years, the previous owner has had horses and cattle. There is an excellent fenced paddock at the red metal barn. Sheep and chickens have recently been part of the farm. The red metal barn offers fantastic facilities, already having an interior chicken house and a sheep pen with a separate sheep door. Running water and electricity are in place at the red metal barn. The farm is well-suited for a wide range of animals. Various crops could be cultivated in the fields. Near the farmhouse is a garden spot complete with electric fencing.

The mixture of mature forest, emerging forest, grown over farm fields, and old fruit trees, coupled with the water supply from Hardy Run and the farm pond, creates the perfect wildlife habitat. The “edge effect” created between streams, farm fields, and forests is the textbook habitat for the resident wildlife. The edges create long wildlife food plots. The hardwood forest produces tons of acorns, hickory nuts, beech nuts, walnuts, and soft mast. White-tailed deer, black bear, red/gray fox, bobcat, wild turkey, squirrel, raccoon, fox, and many species of songbirds, eagles, owls, and hawks make up the resident wildlife population. It is hard to find a property that has a better mix of wildlife, as there has been little hunting pressure for many years.
