20.42-Acre Waterfront Estate Site at the End of Howes Lane, Piney Creek
This 20.42-acre buildable estate site is the last parcel at the end of Howes Lane, where Piney Creek opens wide toward the Elk River. A private lane leads past just three homes to land that feels a world away, with only woods, water, and wildlife around you.
The property is a rare mix of settings:
A 2-acre home site, with perc results on the recorded plat, ready for the custom home you’ve been picturing.
12+ acres of mature hardwood forest, with stands of oak, beech, hickory, and tulip poplar, mountain laurel and holly along the nature trails.
Shoreline on Piney Creek, with 5.8 acres of wetland where herons, waterfowl, and songbirds make their home.
Existing woods and walking trails wind through the property, making it easy to explore. Next door, rolling horse pastures add open, pastoral views and keep the setting quiet and rural.
Whether you’re dreaming of a full-time estate, a weekend escape, or a private retreat to come home to, this land gives you the room, seclusion, and natural beauty to make it happen. You’re also minutes from hiking at Elk Neck State Park and Elk Neck State Forest and the historic Turkey Point Lighthouse.
With no HOA fees and more than 20 acres between you and the rest of the world, opportunities like this rarely come along.
Lot 4, Howes Landing. Tax Map 41, Parcel 286. The recorded plat with perc results and a Forest Stewardship Plan are available to buyers. Howe’s Landing has a homeowners’ association with recorded covenants but no dues; documents available to buyers.
