About this House

Riverside lot in a hidden GEM of a community! If you are looking for place to build on the water, you need to see this lot. Mature woods, huge rocks at the river, and in a great community with just enough restrictions to protect your property values. There is an old road bed cut into this property off of Riverside that lays really well, would be great driveway location to a beautiful building site. Awesome location less than 10 minutes to Sparta, about 15 to Galax and on a gorgeous section of the trout stocked waters of the Little River. This is the best time of year to buy land. With low vegetation you can see how it lays and it is much easier to get around. The corners on this one are easy to identify, call today to see this jewel before someone else does!

"We have no public transportation here and no jobs you have to go out of the area for work. Winston-Salem is an hour away, you might find a job in Elkin, Wilkesboro, Mt. Airy, or maybe in Virginia. "
