Who marketed and sold the New River Gorge campground?

Entrusted Auctions marketed and sold the property through a live and online auction, reaching buyers across the region with a dedicated campaign, a full property website, drone photography, and an accelerated timeline to a firm sale date.

Why sell real estate at auction instead of a traditional listing?

Auction sets a firm sale date, creates competition among qualified buyers, and lets the market determine true value. For unique properties like a 60 ± acre estate with a campground, auction often produces a faster sale and a transparent, defensible price.

Can Entrusted Auctions sell my property?

Yes. Entrusted Auctions is a bonded, licensed, and insured firm serving West Virginia, Virginia, and North Carolina. Request a no-obligation auction proposal to learn what your land, home, farm, or commercial property could bring at auction.

The Marketing & The Sale

How We Sold It

A unique 60 ± acre estate with a working campground is not a typical listing. We built a dedicated campaign around it, drove qualified buyers to a firm sale date, and let competitive bidding determine true market value — closing at $1,045,000.

Step 01

Strategy & Pricing

We studied the four parcels, the campground operation, and comparable sales, then structured the offering as one combined estate with a starting bid that invited competition.

Step 02

Marketing Blitz

Drone photography, a full property website, 176+ images, a video tour, and targeted digital and local outreach put the property in front of qualified regional and out-of-state buyers.

Step 03

Live & Online Auction

Online pre-bidding set the floor; the live auction on June 24 brought bidders together in real time and let the market push the price to its true level.

Step 04

Sold & Closed

The estate sold in its entirety to the high bidder for $1,045,000 — a clean, transparent, on-schedule sale with a firm close.

Final Sale Price

$1,045,000 — all four parcels and every improvement, sold together in their entirety.

Sale Date

Wednesday, June 24, 2026 — live on site at 19 Pennington Place, Lansing, WV, with simultaneous online bidding.

Selling Method

Marketed auction, sold to the high bidder. One combined offering — the home place, adjacent acreage, the campground, and the Route 19 tract together as a single 60 ± acre estate.

Marketing Reach

Dedicated property website, drone & ground photography (176+ images), full video tour, and a multi-channel digital and local campaign.
