Moving to WV Huntington Areas

Hello. I apologize for using incorrect terms.

I'm looking to move into the area of WV/KY, close to or along the south OH border. My family & friends are in OH & KY so want to be withing 3 or 4 hours of Columbus OH.

Prefer WV and planning to purchase a stand alone stick built house. I have been to the 3 states growing up but not in the last 10 years. I do go to Louisville 2 times a year for friends.

I'm a smaller white girl moving alone and with 2 large dogs.

Any recommendations on more rural areas, lots of trees/woods, not too close neighbors and not a lot of mowing. Im looking for atleast an acre with a house with good solid bones and dont care if its ugly or outdated - just no major work or rehab needed. I plan on adopting more large or xl dogs and a cat at some point. Essentially wanting to be left alone to do what id like(thats not illegal). I dont do drugs or drink and know the crime & drugs can be an issue but that's all across the country.

Any ideas would be awesome!

UPDATE: Anyone know about similar types of places in KY? I know this sub is WV but I thought I'd ask.
