Residential Land for Sale in Afton, Virginia
188 Pounding Branch Rd, Afton, VA 22920
We've all heard the saying: "Buy land because they're not making any more of it." Few places make that ring truer than Afton, where the opportunity to create a 5 1/2-acre homesite like this in the heart of the Route 151 corridor is increasingly rare. Imagine your custom home positioned to capture SPECTACULAR BLUE RIDGE MOUNTAIN VIEWS, surrounded by rolling open pasture with Pounding Branch Creek winding through the property. This is the kind of land people picture when they dream of building in Nelson County. Beautiful usable acreage offering privacy, views, water and NO HOA. Existing well and septic infrastructure add to the opportunity. The location is every bit as special as the land. Minutes from Route 151 wineries, breweries, orchards, restaurants and recreation, with Wintergreen Resort and Charlottesville and Waynesboro within easy reach. More than a building lot, this is a rare opportunity to create a one-of-a-kind custom home and lifestyle in the heart of Afton. Acreage and boundaries subject to final plat approval and recordation.
