Description

Discover this ready-to-use property in Ferrum, VA, where the natural beauty of the Blue Ridge Mountains meets endless opportunities for adventure and enjoyment. This unrestricted tract offers everything you need for hunting, homesteading, or recreational use. A steady mountain creek meanders through the property, providing a vital water source for wildlife and an idyllic setting for your dream getaway. From the higher elevations, enjoy stunning long-range mountain views, while the lower elevations offer more intimate, short-range vistas that immerse you in nature's tranquility.

The property features several ideal spots for building an off-grid retreat, whether you envision a rustic cabin, a modern yurt, or even a repurposed shipping container for sleeping or storage. Higher elevations showcase magnificent rock outcroppings, adding character and charm to the landscape. Miles of ATV and UTV trails from old logging roads wind throughout the property, making navigation and exploration easy and fun.

For the avid hunter, this land is a true treasure. Deer sign is abundant throughout, with the property offering everything necessary to both attract and hold wildlife year-round. A portion of the land was select cut, allowing sunlight to reach the forest floor and encouraging the growth of native forage. While neighboring timber-heavy tracts may struggle to sustain wildlife during the cold winter months, this property can provide ample food, water, and bedding areas for deer and other wild game. The existing trails can easily be converted into food plots planted with clover, chicory, or other greens to further enhance the habitat. Mature stands of red and white oak, poplar, and hickory remain on the untouched acreage, creating prime hunting spots for early season success.

In addition to its hunting and recreational appeal, this property offers the privacy and resources needed for off-grid living. Harvest fresh mountain water, soak up abundant sunlight for solar energy, search for old moonshine stills, and forage for blackberries, mushrooms, and other native delicacies. Enjoy the historic charm of Shooting Creek’s rushing waters, just across the road, adding to the rustic ambiance.

Get To Know the Area: 

  • Discover Old Moonshine Stills Along “Shootin’ Creek”:  If Franklin County, Virginia was the so-called “Moonshine Capital” of the world during Prohibition in the 1920’s, then Shootin’ Creek – located in the southwest corner of the county – might qualify as the “Moonshine Capital” of Franklin County. In T. Keister Greer’s book, “THE GREAT MOONSHINE  CONSPIRACY TRIAL OF 1935,” he mentions Shootin’ Creek no less than eight times as a center of moonshining and revenuer raids.  One revenue agent testified to cutting up more than 30 moonshine stills at Shootin’ Creek in a space of 90 days.
