Description
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.

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageWrote a review a while ago but it was deleted. I WOULD NEVER put my child through this school after my experience here. They do not care about the mental state of the students. They would rather write a kid up for defending themselves than offering them help. They have barely any safety regulations set in place. Their entire college readiness is a joke. Everything about this school is horrible.Other Review9mo ago - Snow Creek Elementary School

9/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageI 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.Parent Review15y ago - Benjamin Franklin Middle School

5/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageHi, my name is Ben and I no longer attend this school because I was bullied. So thank you to the person that posted that bullying is a problem at this school. I was called names and pushed numerous times. I started having anxiety and became depressed. I reported the bullying and I was moved from my classes while the bullying remained. We were told this is school policy. This only made the problems worse and I started to want out of life, any way possible. I'm glad I have good parents because they homeschooling me for awhile then moved so I could go to a different school. I am so happy now at my new school and by the way a lot of kids there were bullied it was not just me.Other Review12y ago
