This tract offers the privacy and character of a rural property without being far removed from the conveniences of town.

The property has been preserved through an easement designed to allow the land to be forested while protecting its agricultural, wildlife, water-quality, and open-space values. Also, the conservation easement contains building envelopes that allow the buyer to build a dwelling(s), creating an opportunity to establish your own private getaway.  The conservation easement is an important component of the property's long-term character and helps ensure that its rural and natural attributes are protected for generations to come.   Buyers should review the recorded conservation easement and all applicable documents carefully to understand the specific permitted and restricted uses before purchasing.

For a timberland buyer, the approximately 50 acres of 2003 loblolly pines provide a substantial existing timber resource. For the sportsman, the property offers a private setting with excellent potential for hunting and outdoor recreation. For someone interested in land conservation, the easement provides additional assurance that the property's forestry and open-space character will be maintained.

Properties combining merchantable timber, recreational value, and conservation protection can be difficult to find. This 67-acre Charlotte County tract offers all three in a convenient Southside Virginia location.
