Overview

This offering is a 20-acre land tract in Amherst County characterized by a wooded setting and abundant wildlife. The property is presented as a flexible homesite canvas, with the option to clear or maintain portions of the wooded landscape to suit a future residence, retreat, or homestead-style use. In addition to residential possibilities, the tract is positioned for outdoor recreation, including activities like hunting, exploring, and gardening, with quiet surroundings that support a slower pace.

The land is set on Larkin Mountain and described as tucked away, providing privacy while still keeping everyday services within reach. The remarks note the property is less than 20 minutes from local grocery stores, dining, and general conveniences.

Zoned A1, the property may appeal to buyers seeking a larger, secluded parcel for personal recreation and an outdoors-oriented lifestyle, while retaining the option to develop a home on the site. If you’re looking for space in a rural setting—where wooded character and wildlife are key elements—this tract provides a straightforward opportunity to plan around the natural landscape and decide how much of it to keep, open, or refine.
