Scott County - Fairview Road, Lot#WP001, Blackwater, VA
This property has it all! Loaded with timber, fields and streams, this property provides all the necessities to make an incredible retreat or hunting camp. The existing clearings are a little grown-up but can be brought back to pristine food plots or the possibility of a cabin site. Situated alongside the North Fork of the Clinch River is a large field that can be planted or kept in hay production. Plenty of long-range views that can be your spot to enjoy a coffee and watch wildlife! This expansive tract of land has several trails that need a little TLC and some grading, but the foundation is there to provide for good access. The existing home on the property is in poor condition and should not be entered. There are at least two springs on the property, one located adjacent to the old home and the other on the far eastern boundary. The north boundary is the North Fork of the Clinch River, which creates a nice separation between the adjacent parcels. Hunting should be excellent on this property. During inspections, multiple deer, turkey and other game were seen. There are a few fields that could easily be reclaimed and expanded! With some creativity, some good land management and some time, this property will become a true hunter's paradise. The big ridge provides ample security for wildlife, while the lower-lying fields and browse provide the food source. Several farmers in the area grow corn and other agricultural products that will keep the deer in the neighborhood! ** Recent Survey completed, New parcel IDs ** ** Current access is via right-of-way off Fairview Road; this field can get extremely wet and requires 4x4 - do not attempt without speaking to the Agent. Seller recommends filling the right-of-way with Shale or Stone to improve. Bridge is sturdy, but will likely need new boards in the future. ** ** Prior owner retains access and shared use of the spring for their water supply ** ** Buyer/Buyer's Agent to verify all information.**

BACK ON THE MARKET - HOMESTEADERS and THOSE LOOKING FOR MULTIPLE HOME SITES -IMAGINE THIS: You're driving home along a quiet country road, surrounded by natural beauty in every direction. About a mile and a half in, you turn left onto a gravel lane. Ahead, a small bridge crosses Moccasin Creek.

Today, though, you continue straight crossing the bridge and arriving at your own private oasis. You park in front of a doublewide that was well loved when you bought it solid, comfortable, but in need of a little vision. Now, it's exactly the way you want it. Spacious, private, and welcoming, with a grand walnut tree anchoring the backyard. You step onto the deck, breathe deep, and take in the sweeping mountain views.

And if more loved ones want to join you, there's yet another homesite on the way in, before you ever cross the bridge. Cows graze, chickens wander, and there's plenty of room for dogs to roam free.
