Cheap Land in Virginia near Philpott Lake
This residential and recreational property just north of Henry, Virginia lies in the sunset shadow of the Blue Ridge mountains. With a cabin, water, septic, and nearby power, plus ATV trails along its rolling terrain, stunning mountain valley views, and a natural spring, this property checks a lot of boxes. If you’re looking for more adventure (or maybe a fish dinner), head to Philpott Lake only a half hour to the southwest, or any number of hiking trails that further expose you to the beauty of this area.
- No Restrictions
- Natural Spring On-Site
- ATV Trails
- Extensive Direct Road Frontage
- Mobile Home/Hunting Cabin On-Site
- Well & Septic Installed, Power connected
- Priced about 27% Below Market
- Amazing Blue Ridge Mountain Views
PROPERTY: This 6.53 acre lot is moderately wooded but with a cleared yard, driveway, cabin, and small barn. It features about 584 feet of direct frontage on Log Cabin Drive, a public gravel road that was built on a ridge line. The power isn’t currently active but it is connected to the cabin and utilities are further provided via a water well and septic system. If you want to improve any structure or add more to the site, build ’till your heart’s content because there are no restrictions here! The lot is flat at the road and ridge and that’s where all the structures stand. You’ll be walking downhill as you venture away from the road and house towards the back of the lot, and in the middle of the property where the terrains bottoms out, a natural spring trickles along and eventually empties into a pond on the neighboring parcel. One of the highest vista points in the entire area lies along the back property line, and it benefits from a steep drop of the bordering tract to deliver amazing views to the north once the timber is cleared. To explore all of this, fire up your ATV and run down some of the trails that have already been blazed here. The neighborhood is lightly populated and very peaceful. When you’re ready for natural adventure, Philpott Lake is only 30 minutes down the road and this recreational hotspot offers great camping, hiking, and bass fishing. Stock up on basic supplies at the Henry Dollar General just about 15 minutes away to the south, or enjoy a wide array of restaurants and retail — including a Walmart — in Rocky Mount, a 30 minute drive to the north. Rocky Mount is a great launching spot for a float down the Pigg River, the perfect elixir to a lazy hot summer day.

FOR SALE BY OWNER: We are investors, and are selling this lot For-Sale-By-Owner. You do not need to submit your offer through a real estate agent, and in our experience we close transactions more quickly and easily by having our dedicated transaction coordinator work directly with the Title Company and Buyers. We will also both save money on commission/fees by cutting out agents as the middle men. However, if you feel strongly about working with a Realtor, then you’re welcome to have them contact us on your behalf.
OWNER FINANCING: We do not offer owner-financing but you could get a loan through a bank or another lender and we’d be happy to coordinate with them.
OUTSIDE FINANCING: Your best deal for financing will come from a local bank or credit union and we can help you find a great deal. Land loans typically require about 15-25% down.
WHY ARE YOU SELLING IT SO CHEAP? We are often asked why we price our properties at below market value, and the answer is really simple: because we can, and that’s our core business model. We are investors who purchase properties at a large volume and deeply liquidated rates, and by passing this discount on to our buyers, we can sell land quickly . . . and more of it! In fact, our average property only lasts 2-3 weeks on the market (vs. industry average of about 6 months).
DISCLAIMER: We attempt to provide detailed, accurate and up-to-date information in our listings, in order to help our buyers to the best of our ability. However, it ultimately remains the buyer’s responsibility to perform their own due diligence and double check any details that are of significant importance to you including acreage, utilities, build-ability, and approved/allowable use-age for the property. We are happy to help however we can.
