O U R Story
As you meander through pastoral landscape of the South Potomac Fork River Valley on RT 220, our neighborhood straddles the VA/WV state lines. Originally subdivided in the 1970s, our community is comprised of 104 properties in Highland County, VA and an additional 52 properties in Pendleton County, WV (156 total). Each parcel is between 5-10 acres. Our residents on Summit Road enjoy unparalleled views from the apex of Brushy Mountain at nearly 3600 feet of elevation.
Today, nearly 30% of the home sites have been developed. A handful of residents call the mountain home, with the remainder weekend and holiday residents. Most residents love the mountain so much, they often own multiple home sites. Each home site embellishes mountain life adorned with structures that compliment nature's beauty.
The High Valley Property Owners Association is dedicated to ensuring that serenity on the mountain is possible for generations to come!

Maintaining O U R Community
Road Infrastructure
Every home site within our community is accessed by one of 13 roads maintained by the POA. While the roads are bluestone gravel, outsiders such as Real Estate agents often laud the condition of the roads as a selling point.
High Valley POA is responsible for over 8 miles of blue stone gravel roads within our neighborhood. Road maintenance includes all facets including grading, snow removal, culvert leaf removal and culvert repair/upgrades to direct water off problem areas. Common access roads for serving each parcel has often been lauded as a selling point given their smooth ride despite the occasionally steep ascents. |
Charter Compliance & Records
With a budget over $30K annually, the board members ensure that the money is being spent in accordance with our latest by laws. Additionally, the POA adjudicates concerns from members of the community regarding their property rights.
High Valley POA is funded through annual dues assessed against each parcel. Overwhelming, our network of roads consumes the majority of the funds. Additionally, it funds the taxes on the parcel of land adjacent to the RT 220 frontage road (and its' semi-annual bush hogging). Lastly, it funds minor expenses for the POA such as mailing of annual bills, this website, and financial/audit compliance. For 2024, the fees have increased +40 percent from the prior calendar year. Dues calculation is as follows: $100 per parcel per covenants plus the $286 special assessment tax. Multiple parcel owners only pay the latter fee once. Thus, the total will be $386 per year for owners with a single parcel/lot, $486 per year for owner with two parcels, $586 for three parcels, $686 for four parcels, etc. The financial records are available for review, and may be viewed by private appointment, during the annual meeting, or via the members only page of this website. |
Community
High Valley POA has core responsibility to develop the sense of community and camaraderie which makes life on the mountain special. This is done via this website, annual meetings, and even an impromptu Hootenanny Cookout!
The POA is made up of dedicated friends like yourself. While some larger or specialized jobs are subcontracted out, members of the neighborhood often lend a hand. From painting the road signs, to clearing small downed debris, let us see if we can match you with a project in your area of expertise! |
