Discover an exceptional opportunity to own 98.63 surveyed acres with approximately 3,000 feet of frontage along the scenic Dan River in Halifax County, Virginia. Accessed by a recorded deeded easement from Pointer Road, this remarkable property offers outstanding privacy while remaining conveniently accessible. An established road extends through much of the property, making it easy to explore the acreage and leading to a point where the Dan River comes into view. A short walk through the mature hardwoods brings you to the river's edge. Two existing open areas of approximately one-half acre each offer ideal locations for food plots, campsites, or future homesites. The property's open areas are also well-suited for Starlink satellite internet, offering the potential to stay connected while enjoying the privacy of this remarkable setting. Danville Utilities electricity is available on Pointer Road. McCains Creek flows through the front left corner of the property, while spring-fed Rocky Branch winds through the front right corner, creating exceptional wildlife habitat and adding to the property's natural beauty. The rolling terrain features a healthy mix of mature hardwoods and pines, providing outstanding recreational opportunities along with long-term timber potential. Abundant deer, turkey, and other wildlife make this an exceptional hunting property, while the Dan River and two creeks offer opportunities for fishing, kayaking, canoeing, hiking, ATV riding, and exploring the outdoors. Large riverfront tracts of this size are becoming increasingly difficult to find, making this an outstanding opportunity for sportsmen, investors, conservation-minded buyers, or anyone seeking a private retreat.
