Exceptional Riverfront Homesite in the Heart of Todd – Halfway Between Boone & West Jefferson! A rare opportunity to own 5.118 unrestricted acres in one of Todd's most desirable settings, offering frontage on the South Fork of the New River, spectacular long-range river and mountain views, and convenient access from scenic, state-maintained Railroad Grade Road. The property features an established gravel driveway leading to an older home situated on a beautiful homesite with a nice yard and commanding views overlooking the river valley. The home is being conveyed AS-IS, and the property is being marketed primarily for its exceptional land value. Those with a passion for old homes may see possibilities in the existing structure, while others may envision removing it and creating a new mountain home that takes full advantage of this extraordinary setting. An existing spring water system and septic system add to the property's potential, although the seller makes no representation as to their current condition or functionality. Across Railroad Grade Road, the property includes beautiful frontage on the South Fork of the New River, offering direct access for fishing, kayaking, tubing, canoeing, or simply enjoying your own piece of the river. A portion of the river frontage is subject to a recreational easement; see Vacant Land Disclosure for details. The Todd area is beloved for its outdoor recreation, strong sense of community, and relaxed mountain lifestyle. Railroad Grade Road, once a historic railroad bed, gently follows the New River and is a favorite among cyclists and walkers for its level terrain and beautiful scenery. Todd's vibrant community features seasonal events, live music, and local river outfitters, with Boone and West Jefferson both within easy driving distance. Whether your vision is to breathe new life into an old mountain home or start fresh and build something new, the setting is what makes this property truly special—river frontage, an incredible long-range river view, existing infrastructure, easy access, and more than five unrestricted acres in the heart of Todd. The adjoining 8.563-acre unrestricted riverfront tract is also available separately, creating a rare opportunity for buyers seeking additional acreage, multiple potential building sites, or an expanded family retreat.
