Description
Welcome to an outstanding 75± acre recreational property perched on legendary Horse Mountain—an area well known by locals for producing big, mature whitetail bucks. If you’ve spent any time in the Alleghany Highlands, you already know the reputation. This mountain consistently delivers quality deer genetics, low hunting pressure, and the kind of habitat that grows and holds mature animals. Beyond its own impressive acreage, this tract offers access to over 1,300 private acres for hunting, ATV/UTV riding, hiking, and horseback riding—dramatically expanding your playground. Whether you’re slipping quietly into a stand at daylight or riding the ridge tops in the evening, the opportunities here are unmatched. The land itself is a diverse blend of early successional habitat and mature hardwoods, including white and red oaks that provide a reliable acorn crop. This balanced habitat creates ideal bedding, feeding, and travel corridors for wildlife. A picturesque mountain stream winds through the property, and a pond adds another valuable water source, enhancing both the beauty of the land and its wildlife-carrying capacity. A robust internal trail system allows easy access throughout the tract, making it simple to reach multiple stand locations with minimal disturbance. Natural funnels, ridgelines, and transition zones offer strategic setup opportunities for serious hunters. In addition to producing trophy-class whitetails, the property is teeming with longbeards each spring and supports a healthy population of black bear. For those who enjoy predator management, Horse Mountain is also prime bobcat country and well-suited for trapping. When you’re on the property, you feel completely immersed in wilderness—total privacy, no distractions, just mountain air and hardwood ridges stretching for miles. Yet despite this sense of seclusion, you are only minutes from both Covington and Clifton Forge for groceries, dining, and essentials. The Alleghany Highlands is widely known for its outdoor recreation. Nearby attractions include Lake Moomaw, Douthat State Park, the Jackson River and Cowpasture River, as well as the expansive George Washington National Forest. Whether it’s trout fishing, boating, hiking, or scenic drives, adventure is always within reach. For refined dining, golf, and spa days, both The Omni Homestead Resort and The Greenbrier Resort are just a short drive away—providing first-class amenities and entertainment. This is more than a hunting tract—it’s a legacy mountain property in one of Virginia’s most respected big-buck regions. A rare opportunity to own acreage on Horse Mountain with expanded access, premium habitat, and proximity to both wilderness and convenience.Governed by a Conservation Easement and an inactive HOA. The lots cannot be subdivided and only allow a single structure with accompanying outbuildings.
