Property Description
This extraordinary 219-acre property presents the ultimate retreat for outdoor enthusiasts and hunters, perfectly balancing accessibility with pristine wilderness. Located just minutes from Altavista yet wonderfully secluded, this land offers a diverse landscape spanning four parcels with convenient road frontage on both Ricky Van Shelton Dr. and Albeck Dr.
For the dedicated hunter, this property is nothing short of paradise. The expertly balanced ecosystem creates ideal habitat for trophy deer and bear, with abundant wildlife signs throughout. The thoughtful mix of terrain – from mature woodlands to open areas – provides perfect opportunities for establishing strategic food plots and implementing comprehensive wildlife management practices.
Waterfowl enthusiasts will be particularly drawn to the 25 acres of creek bottoms, offering exceptional potential for developing a premier duck hunting impoundment. The property’s 1.3 miles of natural creeks already attract diverse bird species, making it a waterfowler’s dream.
The land’s composition offers remarkable variety: 144.2 acres of 10-year-old loblolly pines represent both current recreational opportunities and future timber value, while 44 acres of mixed hardwoods provide diverse habitat and hunting scenarios. An additional 8.85 acres of overgrown pasture offers flexibility for food plots or restoration.
Recreation extends beyond hunting with 3 miles of established trails winding through the property, making exploration effortless whether on foot, ATV, or horseback. The older bank barn presents possibilities for livestock or equipment storage to support your outdoor activities.
Despite having a liberal conservation easement, the property maintains crucial flexibility for timber management and building construction, ensuring you can create your ideal recreational compound or weekend retreat.
Situated conveniently across the Campbell County line in Pittsylvania County, this rare offering combines the solitude of rural living with the convenience of nearby amenities – truly the perfect investment for the dedicated outdoor enthusiast seeking both recreation and potential return.
