Farm of Dreams: Farmhouse on 326+/- Acres of Forest, Pasture, Ponds, and Possibility near LKG

Description

Hunt the hardwoods. Raise cattle. Grow hay. Fish the ponds. Build a family compound. Create a private homestead. Generate agricultural income. Manage the timber. Or simply enjoy the space, privacy, and slower pace that only a property of this scale can provide. With 326+/- acres, a historic farmhouse, more than 100 acres of fenced pasture, 4 ponds, mature timber, extensive farm infrastructure, established trails, and multiple potential income streams, this Brunswick County farm offers a remarkable opportunity to turn a vision for rural Virginia living into something tangible.

Set among the gently rolling countryside of Brunswick County, Virginia, this exceptional 326+/- acre working farm with a historic farmhouse, extensive pasture, multiple ponds, mature timber, established infrastructure, and abundant wildlife offers the kind of scale and versatility that dreams are made of. Tucked approximately 0.2 miles off Grandy Road, the property feels private and secluded while remaining remarkably convenient to I-85, South Hill, Lake Gaston, and destinations throughout Virginia, North Carolina, and beyond. At the heart of the farm is a beautifully maintained c.1930 Southern farmhouse, thoughtfully remodeled in 2002 to blend historic character with modern comfort. The approximately 2,288-square-foot, 3-bedroom, 2-bath home features 10-foot ceilings, heart pine floors, a grand central hall, spacious kitchen with breakfast nook, formal dining room, office, two cozy fireplaces, and a vaulted primary bedroom. Upstairs, a shared Jack & Jill bath serves the secondary bedrooms, while a sizable mudroom downstairs connects the living space to the multi-car garage. Multiple covered porches provide inviting spaces to enjoy morning coffee, entertain guests, or take in the long-range views across the farm as the sun sets over the ponds, pastures, and distant trees.

The farmhouse sits well back from the road and is surrounded by a pocket of pecan trees and beautiful landscaping, creating an established homestead setting with privacy and character. Beyond the house, the property transitions into a highly functional agricultural landscape with more than 130 acres of fenced pasture and hay fields, miles of fencing, numerous gates for rotational grazing, and dirt roads and established trails connecting paddocks, wooded areas, barns, ponds, and other working portions of the farm. Multiple waterers throughout the fields are supplied by a central well pump, while solar panels with remote capabilities provide an efficient power source for perimeter fencing. The infrastructure is already in place for someone looking to continue a cattle operation, hay production, or other agricultural use.

Water is another defining feature, with 4 ponds distributed throughout the property. The northernmost pond is stocked primarily with bass, including some reaching approximately 5 pounds, while the pond nearest the farmhouse offers bass, bream, and crappie, and another provides opportunities for catfishing. The Briery Branch stream also follows the western boundary. Wildlife is abundant, including whitetail deer, wild turkey, black bear, ducks, and geese. The mix of agricultural fields, mature timber, brushy edges, ponds, and open savannah creates diverse habitat with additional potential for quail habitat. Ancient oaks, white and red oak, planted pine, towering sycamores, giant poplar, cedars, and other hardwoods are found throughout the acreage, creating an exceptional setting for hunting, fishing, outdoor recreation, and conservation.

Multiple barns and outbuildings provide substantial infrastructure for agricultural, recreational, and residential uses. A second dwelling – a double-wide single-family home formerly used as farrier lodging – could serve as a farm manager residence, guest house, in-law quarters, or rental opportunity. A fully wired 28' x 38' workshop, separate storage building, and functional cookhouse/prep building with washer/dryer, full bath, and covered porch provide additional flexibility for projects, storage, lodging, food processing, or gatherings. The 72' x 30' Quonset hut conservatively accommodates approximately 325 round bales, while a 32' x 96' barn provides additional room for livestock, equipment, hay, and general farm operations.

The possibilities extend well beyond traditional farming. The acreage could support cattle operations, hay production, timber management or harvest, hunting leases, agricultural tenants, recreational uses, or a combination of income-producing activities. It could also serve as a multigenerational family compound or intentional homestead, providing room for multiple family members to live, work, farm, hunt, and enjoy the land together. Farm equipment and approximately 70 head of cattle (plus a bull) is also available for purchase, potentially allowing a buyer to continue an established agricultural operation with much of the necessary infrastructure already in place.

Despite its private setting, the property is strategically located for convenience and connectivity. I-85 is approximately 5 minutes away, providing access toward Richmond, Raleigh-Durham, and other destinations throughout Virginia and North Carolina. South Hill is less than 20 minutes away for shopping, dining, healthcare, and everyday amenities, while LKG is approximately 30 minutes away via Pea Hill Boat Ramp or Eaton's Ferry Marina for boating, fishing, swimming, and summer recreation. Emporia and I-95 are approximately 35 minutes away. For those searching for a large farm, cattle farm, hunting property, equestrian facilities, recreational tract, historic farmhouse, homestead, family compound, timberland investment, or income-producing acreage in Southside Virginia, this 326+/- acre Brunswick County property could be the perfect spot.
