Harman, West Virginia sits in a narrow valley between the Allegheny Mountains and Rich Mountain, a town of fewer than 100 people incorporated in 1901 and named for Reverend Asa Harman, who donated the land. Its real claim to fame came in February 1950, when Washington, D.C. ski club members drove west from Seneca Rocks and spotted snow clinging to a ridge visible from Harman — a discovery that led them north to Canaan Valley and sparked the birth of skiing in West Virginia. That same valley, now home to Timberline and Canaan Valley Resorts, sits just 15 minutes from a two-bedroom home at 3321-3343 Whitmer Rd, now listed at $100,000 on 5.92 acres.
Important Disclosures: Please Read Before Visiting
This listing comes with several details buyers absolutely need to know upfront:
- The seller has explicitly stated: “Do not enter the double wide on the property by the road.” This structure on the land should not be entered under any circumstances until clarified directly with the listing agent.
- There is currently no heating system installed in the main home — buyers should budget for installing one before making the property livable year-round.
- City water is available but has not yet been run to the house — this will require running a water line from the road, an additional cost buyers should factor into their budget.
- A portion of the lot sits within a flood plain, so buyers should confirm exact boundaries with a survey before finalizing any building plans.
What the Home Offers
Built in 1920, this 928-square-foot home spans two levels, with a family room, kitchen with a dining area, and living room on the main floor, plus a second bedroom downstairs and the primary bedroom upstairs. High-speed internet is available on-site. The listing describes the setting as tucked into the heart of outdoor adventure country, with genuine mountain views from the property.
Nearly 6 Acres With Room to Grow
The 5.92-acre lot includes additional land available beyond the current parcel, mixing rural and steep terrain. A storage shed rounds out the property, and a private yard offers space away from the road.
The Practical Details
The property runs on a septic tank, with 100-amp electric service already in place. Annual property taxes are notably low at just $384. The listing is direct that this property is “priced to sell,” reflecting both its genuinely low cost and the work needed to bring it fully up to livable standards.

Why Harman
Harman sits at the intersection of Route 33 and Route 32, the road leading directly into Canaan Valley — locally called “almost heaven” for good reason, sitting as the highest large valley east of the Mississippi River at roughly 3,200 feet elevation. Beyond Timberline and Canaan Valley Resorts for skiing, the area offers multiple stocked trout streams and easy access to Seneca Rocks. For a buyer prepared to handle the necessary utility and heating work, this property offers a genuinely low entry point into one of West Virginia’s premier outdoor recreation regions.
