About River Ridge
River Ridge is a gated community of mountain homes on 1,200 wooded acres located in West Virginia’s Eastern Panhandle, about 15 miles west of historic Berkeley Springs in Morgan County.
The community is divided into 187 lots. River Ridge is approached by a scenic drive along the Cacapon River and climbs up to higher elevations with spectacular views of nearby Sideling Mountain and Cacapon Mountain.
People are attracted to River Ridge by its quiet natural surroundings. River Ridge welcomes all of the seasons. The first weeks of Spring brings white clouds of Serviceberry blossoms, followed closely by the vibrant red buds and dogwoods. Violets, blue bells, and phlox carpet the river banks and hillsides. Summer calls for swimming and boating along the scenic Cacapon River. The River Ridge park has boat racks, a bath house, and picnic tables for outdoor fun. In the fall, the oaks, maples, and hickories steal the show with the golden Paw Paws along the river persisting until the first snows. In Winter, snow blankets the hills while curls of wood smoke and roaming flocks of wild turkey provide a memorable backdrop for holiday gatherings.
Of the 187 lots, 13 are riverfront. Houses have been built on 129 lots. The 20 miles of roads are maintained, and a central paved road extends from a security gate on Constant Run Road to another on Milo School Road.
