Creekbend Cottage: 101+/- Acres with Farmhouse & Bold Creek Frontage in Henry County, VA
Description
Tucked into the rolling hills of Henry County, this 101± acre retreat in Bassett, Virginia, offers more than just land—it offers a lifestyle rooted in peace, freedom, and connection to the outdoors. At its heart is a beautifully renovated 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath farmhouse, originally built in the 1940s and thoughtfully restored from the ground up. The home has been updated with modern living in mind—new HVAC, plumbing, electrical, insulation, windows, doors, flooring, fixtures, and fresh paint throughout (2024-2025). The kitchen features a new refrigerator and other updated appliances. And for those who prefer the outdoor living options, the full front and rear porches offer the perfect place to unwind after a day wandering or working the land. You’ll enjoy the charm of an old home, with the peace of mind that everything’s ready to enjoy throughout the years ahead.
From springtime turkey hunts and summer evenings along the creek to crisp fall mornings in a treestand and quiet winter hikes through the woods, this property offers four seasons of enjoyment. Nearly half a mile of frontage along bold, year-round Koger Creek gives you multiple waterside experiences—from fast-moving rocky stretches to calm, shaded pools ideal for fishing or just sipping sweet tea and listening to the water. More than 1.5 miles of established trails wind through the property, perfect for hiking, 4-wheeling, or horseback riding. Off the main paths, old logging roads snake through the timber, ready to be reopened for more access or expanded for food plots and stand sites.
The land itself is a diverse and thriving environment. With timber last reported as harvested around 2003–2004, you’ll find strong 20+ year regrowth alongside stands of mature hardwoods, including white oak and sycamore. Mountain laurel, wild blackberry patches, rose bushes, and white pine create a rich habitat that supports deer, turkey, and other native wildlife. If you're a hunter, the layout is ideal to plant plots, manage habitat, and hold game year-round.
Approximately 20 acres are already enclosed with barbed wire fencing—just reinstall the gates and it’s ready for cattle, horses, or other livestock. The gently rolling topography and mix of cover types offer multiple sites for expansion: build an off-grid cabin or campsite down by the creek, add a pavilion on a hilltop for hosting neighbors and loved ones, or simply carve out a clearing to park your truck, start a bonfire, and watch the stars on a warm summer night. The possibilities here are wide open, whether you're dreaming of a full-time residence, weekend getaway, hunting tract, homesteading spot, or legacy property to pass down.
