Description
This 281.332+/- acre property in Virginia’s Alleghany Highlands combines working pasture, hardwood forest, and creek frontage with a stone home tucked into the woods. It offers about 1+/- mile of frontage along Potts Creek and shares more than a 1 mile boundary with the George Washington National Forest. That puts thousands of acres of public land right at your back line.
The land features roughly 80+/- acres of open pasture alongside gently rolling hardwood forest. A trail system runs throughout, giving easy access for walking, riding, scouting, and checking fence. The hardwoods and field edges hold whitetail deer and wild turkey, and the field below the home regularly draws both into view.
With about a mile of Potts Creek running along the property, the water is part of everyday life here. You can spend a summer afternoon wading the riffles, cast a line from the bank, or walk the creek bottom at dusk and watch for wildlife coming in to drink. Potts Creek flows through the valley on its way to the Jackson River and the James River watershed, and a mile of private frontage gives you room to fish, explore, and unwind without leaving home. The creek also adds a natural water source and travel corridor that ties together the pasture, the hardwoods, and the National Forest beyond.
Access is strong. The property has more than 2,000+/- feet of road frontage along Route 18. A long paved driveway winds from the road to the back of the property, where the home sits removed from traffic and noise.
The stone home is set in the woods and overlooks an open field with a view of Nicholls Knob. Mornings here bring sunrises over the field, often with deer or turkeys feeding below. Inside, a stone fireplace anchors the living space. A detached garage adds room for vehicles, tools, and storage.
The farm is set up to work. The pasture is divided with good electric fencing, so you can rotate cattle and manage grass. Multiple watering troughs serve the fields. Two large buildings provide space for equipment, hay storage, or both.
Infrastructure is already in place. Three wells supply water, and fiber optic internet serves the property. That means reliable service for remote work and staying connected without giving up a mountain setting.
Potts Creek runs through the Potts Creek valley between Potts Mountain and Peters Mountain, and Route 18 follows the creek between Covington and Paint Bank. Covington offers groceries, dining, and services, with Interstate 64 nearby for travel to Roanoke, Lexington, and beyond.
This farm fits a buyer looking for a cattle operation, a hunting and recreation tract, a full-time mountain home, or a mix of all three. Contact the Whitetail Properties Land Specialist to schedule a showing and walk the property.
