Property Description
The vast 145-acre timber stand includes mature hardwoods with mast-producing oaks and hickories, stately poplars and beech, cherry, and small stands of pine complimented with rarer species such as black walnut, cucumber tree, and ironwood - all supporting innumerable wildlife and shading the creeks. With headwaters just upstream of the farm, Creasy Mill Creek flows 2,500 ft though the property, where its clear waters are joined by an unnamed branch. Deep in the forest is a small meadow with an old homestead that now serves as a rustic hunter's cabin. Located in Bedford County, one of Virginia's preeminent whitetail deer hunting destinations, Rock Cliff Farm's plentiful game includes deer, bear, and turkey. Nearly 2 miles of groomed farm and forest roads allow easy access to all corners of the property.
The circa 1900 home boasts Peaks of Otter views and is cloaked by several venerable oaks, providing shade and privacy. Sold as-is and in need of restoration, it has promise as a farm rental, guest house, or charming primary dwelling. The home site includes outbuildings, a small barn, electrical service (inactive), and modern well and septic.
Located on a quiet county road but only 1 mile off state route 24 for easy access to shopping, dining, healthcare, and Smith Mountain Lake adventures. Only 39 minutes to Roanoke or Lynchburg, 15 minutes to Bedford, 10 minutes to Moneta. The property is comprised of three tax parcels to be sold together in their entirety. With a new survey and clean boundary, this exceptional holding has no encroachments, no deeded restrictions, no shared access, and no easements except for the residential powerline that serves the home. 2,800 ft of state road frontage per survey. Zoned AP, currently in land use, and, at buyer's discretion, qualifies for conservation easement with associated tax benefits. Shown by appointment only with proof-of-funds or loan pre-approval.
