Smith River Solitude: 22.5+/- Wooded Acres with Cabin and Smith River Access

Description

Escape to the mountains of Patrick County, Virginia, where 22.5+/- acres of raw, unrestricted mountain land offer an exceptional opportunity for hunting, recreation, off-grid living, and outdoor adventure. Tucked away from the noise of everyday life, this heavily wooded property is accessed by traveling approximately 2 miles along a historic trail from the county road, creating a true sense of seclusion before arriving at the property's existing A-frame cabin.

Perched along the higher elevations of the tract, the approximately 400-square-foot cabin provides a rustic basecamp for exploring the mountains and surrounding public lands. Built in 2001 with durable cedar siding and Andersen windows, the cabin features a 16'x16' main-level living area with a loft above, plus an additional 7'x22' space that was previously used as a kitchen and features existing plumbing. An awning-style window on the rear of the cabin even offers an intriguing opportunity for a unique hunting setup or simply a front-row seat to the surrounding woods.

Beyond the cabin, a mature forest of red oak, chestnut oak, white oak, poplar, white pine, maple, and other hardwoods provides excellent habitat for deer, turkey, and other wildlife, while the terrain offers plenty of room for hiking, mountain biking, ATV riding, camping, and creating your own network of trails.

For anglers and water enthusiasts, one of the property's most compelling features is its proximity to the Smith River. A portion of the property adjoins U.S. Army Corps of Engineers land, providing direct access to a beautiful, secluded bend of the river where you can spend the day fishing, kayaking, floating, or wading the water. This stretch of the Smith River offers opportunities for catching bass, trout, and other fish in a remarkably private setting. When you want to expand the adventure, a nearby boat ramp provides access to peaceful Philpott Lake for boating, swimming, fishing, kayaking, and other watersports. And if you're not familiar with Philpott Lake, picture a different kind of lake day: miles of wooded shoreline, quiet coves tucked beneath the trees, a fishing boat or pontoon drifting across the water, and the kind of peaceful atmosphere where the loudest sounds are often the wind through the forest and the call of a bird overhead.

Whether your vision is a private hunting retreat, mountain getaway, off-grid basecamp, recreational property, or simply a place where you can disappear into the woods and reconnect with the outdoors, this 22.5+/- acre Patrick County property offers the ideal combination of privacy, unrestricted mountain land, an existing cabin, mature timber, wildlife habitat, and access to some of the region's best outdoor recreation.
