Land for Sale in Willis, Virginia

Located along peaceful Shady Grove Road NW in western Floyd County, this 44.14+/- acre tract offers a combination of wooded privacy, flowing water, established trails, wildlife habitat, and a small open pasture area with potential for a homesite. Approximately 3,000 feet of flowing creek frontage winds through the wooded portion of the property, creating a natural destination for recreation, exploration, and quiet enjoyment. The property is accessed through a gated entrance off Shady Grove Road, with fencing already in place along the road.

Approximately one acre of open pasture sits at the upper elevation, where a potential homesite takes advantage of a southern-facing outlook across the surrounding rolling countryside. From there, the property transitions into a mature woodland housing towering pine, poplar, oak, and other hardwoods. A gently wooded, park-like scene develops as you travel farther into the property, with ferns gently blanketing portions of the forest floor and opportunities for mushroom foraging and other outdoor pursuits. Numerous established trails wind throughout the acreage and provide access for ATVs, UTVs, Jeeps, horses, mountain bikes, hiking, and exploring. And if the pasture location isn't your preferred homesite, clear some of the wooded acreage and create your own secluded oasis, tucked away from the outside world.

Wildlife is another defining feature, with established deer trails intersecting the property and abundant wildlife sign throughout the woods. Scenic creek crossings provide access to the eastern portions of the tract while adding another layer of character to the landscape. And if you'd like more usable water, consider having a pond put in to pull from the existing waterways. Imagine the peaceful serenity you'd feel casting a line while surrounded by the gentle sounds of nature.

The property could serve as a private hunting retreat, weekend recreation property, mountain biking park or equestrian playground, or simply a place to establish a rural homestead with phenomenal views of the surrounding mountains. Picture yourself sitting on the front porch of a rustic cabin, rocking in the gentle evening breeze with a cold drink in your hand, watching a group of deer slowly wander out into the fields below for some evening grazing, as an eagle soars majestically overhead, disappearing into the neighboring mountains.

The property is approximately 20 minutes from downtown Floyd (to the East) and Hillsville (to the West), providing access to local shops, restaurants, community events, outdoor recreation, and essential services while maintaining a quiet country setting.

With its combination of creek frontage, forest, trails, wildlife habitat, and potential homesites, this property offers a versatile piece of southwest Virginia land in a desirable county with room to shape the property around your own interests.

For buyers seeking more acreage, an adjoining 22.42+/- acre tract is also available, creating an opportunity to acquire approximately 66.56+/- contiguous acres. Full acreage listing shown here.
