Recreational Land for Sale in Henry, Virginia

Set in the quiet, rolling hills of Franklin County, this 102+/- acre tract in Henry, Virginia offers a rare combination of bold water features, diverse terrain, and multiple access points that make it well-suited for anything from hunting or recreational use to a weekend getaway or long-term future homesite. A strong, year-round creek winds for approximately half a mile through the western portion of the property, with stretches reaching 10 to 15 feet wide, or more. Along its path, massive boulders – some larger than vehicles – intertwine with dense rhododendron, creating a striking natural setting. Spend your time floating in the gentle current, relaxing on sun-warmed rock outcroppings, or casting a line into the deeper pools. A smaller secondary creek meanders through the property a bit further to the east and just below portions of the cleared cutover space, ultimately feeding into the larger creek and further enhancing the land’s water resources and attracting abundant wildlife.

Approximately 25 acres were recently timbered and replanted in loblolly pine (2026), creating ideal bedding and forage conditions for deer and turkey in the near term while establishing a future timber investment. The remaining acreage features a strong mix of mature hardwoods, including poplar, red oak, white oak, beech, and cherry, standing tall along the creeks and throughout the wooded ridges. This diversity supports excellent habitat and adds seasonal character across the property.

The topography offers both usability and scenic appeal, with long-range views that include Bull Mountain in neighboring Patrick County. Multiple ingress and egress options provide flexibility across the tract. Access the northern ridgeline via a deeded easement off Carver Lee Road, where the terrain is well-suited for food plots, stand locations, or even a homesite with access to nice sunrise and sunset views. Otherwise, primary frontage along Carver Lee Road on the eastern boundary allows for direct entry, while the western side offers the opportunity to establish a new access point from Rocky Glen Drive. From the Rocky Glen Dr side, an ideal cabin site sits near a horseshoe bend in the creek, offering peaceful seclusion with water flowing below and wooded hills rising around you.

A quiet gravel road leads you into the property from Prillaman Switch Rd, winding through rolling farmland and timberland that define this region of Franklin County. In the distance, the faint sound of a passing train adds a subtle, nostalgic touch to the peaceful setting. With its combination of water, timber, wildlife habitat, and build potential, this property fits a wide range of uses in a region where well-rounded tracts are increasingly limited.
