Nestled in the rolling hills of Franklin Co, VA, this 278+/- acre unrestricted land tract offers the perfect mix of timber investment, recreation, & mountain beauty. The property is primarily composed of an established pine plantation, featuring 12+ year-old planted pines that enhance both the visual appeal & long-term financial potential of the land. These stands are ideal for future timber income through thinning or harvest while also serving as prime habitat for deer, turkey, & more. The open understory beneath the pines makes it easy to navigate the property, with over 1.4 mi of internal trails connecting ridgelines, old logging decks, & creek access points. 2 bold mountain creeks – including Grassy Fork Creek – merge on the western boundary, creating over 1 mile of year-round flowing water that winds through shaded hollows, rocky outcroppings, & gentle bottomland. Across the higher elevations, several ridgetop build sites offer the potential for sweeping panoramic views looking west & north across the Blue Ridge foothills, with ample acreage to design a private mountain home, hunting lodge, or family retreat. The property also borders the Turkeycock WMA, granting direct access to over 2,600 acres of additional public land for hunting, hiking, & exploration. This unique connection expands the usable recreational area far beyond the deeded boundary, offering a highly coveted & unique feature among private tracts in SW VA. Scattered boulders & natural rock walls add both visual appeal & define the property's rugged mountain character. Located less than 25 min from Rocky Mount & Smith Mountain Lake & under 1 hour from Roanoke, this tract strikes the perfect balance between seclusion & convenience. Its combination of timber value, abundant wildlife, water resources, & build potential makes it a true standout in today's land market – ideal for those seeking tangible investment growth & recreational freedom in 1 of Virginia's most scenic regions.
