About this House

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.

I am updating a review I gave last year. My son has finished 2nd grade this year at Snow Creek and had a GREAT teacher this year. He grew and learned so much during the year. Class sizes are small, the principal is outstanding and involved with all the kids. We send our son here even though we don't live in district, so we drive him back & forth to school each day - that is how much we love Snow Creek.
