The Country Divide: 22+/- Balanced Acres, Split Between Pasture & Woods in Floyd County, VA

Description

Set along Shady Grove Road NW near the western edge of Floyd County, this 22.42+/- acre property offers a versatile mix of open pasture, mature woods, flowing water, and multiple access points. Approximately 12 acres are composed of gently rolling pasture, providing a practical setting for a homesite, garden, small farming operation, horses, livestock, recreational fields, or simply enjoying the open landscape. The remaining acreage is wooded, with a flowing creek traveling through the wooded portion of the property, offering approximately 700 feet of creek frontage.

The gently rolling pasture provides several possibilities for a future homesite, including an elevated area with attractive southern views. Other areas of the pasture space boast great natural treeline boundaries that help create privacy from the road and neighboring properties. Multiple gated entrances and road frontage on two roads provide flexibility for accessing different portions of the property. A higher-elevation gate offers convenient access toward a potential homesite, while another entrance provides access to the lower portion of the pasture for tractors, equipment, gardening, farming, or other land-management activities. The separate entry points also provide a great opportunity to split the property and add a guest house, a short- or long-term rental home, or to enjoy additional space to spread out and establish a pavilion for gatherings and picnics with loved ones.

Beyond the open fields, the property transitions into trails that lead you through mature woods containing oak, poplar, pine, cherry, and other native trees. The peaceful creek adds habitat and character as it moves through the wooded portion of the tract, while rhododendron can be found along the hillside beyond the creek. The combination of open ground and woodlands creates opportunities well beyond traditional farming or hunting. Depending on your goals, the property could support a rural residence, hobby farm, equestrian setup, private campground, outdoor recreation retreat, gardening and homesteading operation, nature-based getaway, or simply serve as a private basecamp for you to explore the surrounding Blue Ridge region and "The Crooked Road" region.

The property's location also makes it practical for both everyday country living and weekend recreation. Shady Grove Road provides a peaceful rural setting, while nearby Floyd Highway/US 221 offers convenient access toward downtown Floyd to the east or Hillsville and Interstate 77 to the west. Both towns are approximately 20 minutes away, offering key amenities, such as shopping and dining, as well as ample southern entertainment and hospitality. 

For buyers seeking more acreage, an adjoining 44+/- acre tract is also available, creating an opportunity to acquire approximately 66.56+/- total contiguous acres. Full acreage listing shown here.

If you're looking for usable acreage in Floyd County with a meaningful amount of pasture, water frontage, wooded privacy, and multiple potential uses, this property provides a flexible foundation for creating a property of your own.
