Procious, West Virginia takes its name from Adam Procious, a Civil War veteran who brought his family to Clay County from Pennsylvania by houseboat, settling along the Elk River in the years after the war. The community’s post office, established in his own home, gave the tiny settlement its lasting name. That same river still defines the area today, and a fully furnished, one-bedroom log cabin at 348 Basil Hively Rd now sits with direct river access, listed at $95,000 on 1.13 wooded acres.
A Genuinely Cozy, Move-In-Ready Cabin
Built in 2000, this compact 470-square-foot log cabin comes fully furnished, giving a buyer an immediate, ready-to-use retreat without shipping furniture or shopping from scratch. The primary bedroom occupies the entire upper level, spanning over 23 feet in length, while the main floor holds an eat-in kitchen, dining area, and living room warmed by a wood-burning stove insert. Hardwood and vinyl flooring run throughout, and a lower-level utility room adds practical storage space.
Direct River Access on a Wooded Lot
The listing confirms genuine river views and direct river access from the 1.13-acre wooded lot — a real draw for anyone interested in fishing, kayaking, or simply relaxing along the water. A deck extends the cabin’s living space outdoors, positioned to take in the river setting.
The Practical Details
Water comes from a private well, and the property runs on a septic tank. Cooling is handled by window units, and a parking pad accommodates vehicles. Annual property taxes run $425, and the cabin has been on the market for just 6 days as of this listing.
