This gently sloping property sits above the South Fork of the New River and offers a really nice mix of privacy, views, and flexibility. It’s conveniently located—about 18 minutes to Boone and 25 minutes to West Jefferson—so you can get to town easily but still enjoy a quieter setting. One of the biggest highlights here is that the land is unrestricted, which gives you a lot of freedom in how you use it. Whether you’re thinking about building a full-time home, setting up a few tiny homes or container homes, creating a family getaway, or just using it for camping, you’ve got options. You can actually walk to Wahoo’s Kayak and Tubing Outpost, which makes it easy to spend a day on the river without having to drive anywhere. Green Valley Public Park is also just a few minutes away and offers trails, river access, and a great spot to relax outdoors. As you move up the property, it wouldn’t take much clearing to open up some really great views of the New River Valley. Another nice bonus is that the land below is part of the state right-of-way along Big Hill Road, so you don’t have to worry about future construction below your property that could block your view. There’s also a small stream that starts near the top of the property and winds its way down, adding a peaceful, natural touch to the setting. All in all, it’s a really versatile piece of land in a beautiful part of the High Country—whether you’re looking to build now or just want a place to enjoy and hold onto for the future.
