Description
Ideally located just a short drive from Fredericksburg and Lake Anna, this 312±-acre tract combines size, location, and natural features. Catharpin Run and multiple natural springs run through the property, providing water sources and great habitat for wildlife.
This private, rural property offers a blank-slate opportunity for someone looking to manage a large, preserved landscape. The land is currently undergoing an active timber harvest, creating opportunities for replanting, habitat improvements, and strategic forest management. Logging operations are expected to finish by August–September 2026, setting the stage for the next phase of land stewardship.
The property is protected by a permanent conservation easement held by Ever Green Team, which preserves its rural, natural, agricultural, and forested character. The easement allows up to two divisions for a maximum of three parcels and up to three dwellings totaling 12,000 sq ft of above-ground living space. Residential outbuildings and farm structures are permitted, with larger agricultural buildings requiring approval. Any structure over 500 sq ft must be placed within designated building envelopes.
The land supports a variety of rural uses, including agriculture, livestock, forestry, agritourism, hunting, fishing, trapping, and other outdoor recreation. Mining, drilling, and large-scale industrial or commercial development are not allowed, and 35-foot riparian buffers protect stream corridors throughout the property. Renewable energy systems, like solar, are permitted for on-site use.
This property offers a rare opportunity to manage a large tract of land that balances practical use with long-term preservation.
Additional Notes:
- The conservation easement is scheduled to go into effect in late December, and settlement will not occur until the easement is recorded with the county.
- Showings are by appointment only and must be conducted with a licensed real estate agent present.
- When touring the property, wear blaze orange and do not block the active logging road when entering or exiting the site.
- Photos included in the listing are subject to change, as the property will continue to be logged throughout 2025 and into 2026.
