116 Hidden Valley Rd, Covington, VA 24426

This 281.332+/- acre property in Virginia's Alleghany Highlands brings together a stone home, working cattle pasture, hardwood forest, about 1+/- mile of Potts Creek frontage, and more than a 1 mile boundary with the George Washington National Forest. It works as a cattle operation, a hunting and recreation tract, a full-time mountain home, or all three. A long paved driveway winds from Route 18 to the back of the property, where the stone home sits in the woods, away from road traffic and noise. The home overlooks an open field with a view of Nicholls Knob, and that field often draws whitetails and wild turkeys at sunrise. Inside, a stone fireplace anchors the living space, and a detached garage adds room for vehicles, tools, and storage. With about a mile of Potts Creek running alo the property, the water is part of everyday life here. You can spend a summer afternoon wading the riffles, cast a line from the bank, or walk the creek bottom at dusk and watch for wildlife coming in to drink. Potts Creek flows through the valley on its way to the Jackson River and the James River watershed, and a mile of private frontage gives you room to fish, explore, and unwind without leaving home. The creek also adds a natural water source and travel corridor that ties together the pasture, the hardwoods, and the National Forest beyond. The land offers about 80+/- acres of open pasture alongside gently rolling hardwood forest. A trail system runs throughout the property, making it easy to walk, ride, scout, and check fence. The back line borders the George Washington National Forest for more than a mile, opening up thousands of acres of public land right next door. The farm is already set up to run cattle. Good electric fencing divides the pasture for rotational grazing, and multiple watering troughs serve the fields. Two large buildings provide space for equipment, hay storage, or both. Utilities and access are in place. Three wells supply water, and fiber optic internet gives you reliable service for remote work and staying connected. The property has more than 2,000+/- feet of road frontage on Route 18, along with the paved drive to the home. The mix of hardwoods, pasture edges, and creek bottom holds whitetail deer and wild turkey. Together, the trail system and the National Forest boundary give you room to hunt, hike, and explore well beyond the property line. The property lies in the Potts Creek valley between Potts Mountain and Peters Mountain, along Route 18 between Covington and Paint Bank. Covington has groceries, dining, and services, and Interstate 64 nearby connects you to Clifton Forge, Lexington, and Roanoke. Land like this, with creek frontage, a National Forest boundary, and a working farm already in place, deserves a walk in person. Contact the Whitetail Properties Land Specialist to schedule a showing.
