310 Hickory Hl, Covington, VA 24426

This 62.215+/- acre property in Alleghany County, Virginia, combines Potts Creek frontage, a shared border with George Washington National Forest, and well, septic, and electric onsite, giving a buyer land, water, recreation, and a head start on housing all in one tract. Potts Creek runs along the property, and it does more than mark a boundary line. The creek offers both fishing and swimming, giving a buyer year-round reasons to be outdoors right on their own ground. A mountain spring adds a second water source on the property, a rare feature that speaks to the terrain and adds flexibility for future use, whether that is a pond, wildlife water, or simply another cold, clean source on hot days. The land itself is a mix of mature hardwood forest and open fields. A good number of white and red oaks stand throughout the timber, producing hard mast that supports wildlife through the fall and adds long-term timber value to the tract. Internal roads and trails already wind through the property, connecting the wooded ground to the open fields and making the entire 62.215+/- acres accessible on foot, by ATV, or by truck. Those open fields are well-suited to future food plots, providing a hunter or land manager with a natural starting point for habitat work without having to clear the ground first. Bordering the George Washington National Forest is one of the strongest features of this property. That shared boundary puts thousands of additional acres of public hunting, hiking, and backcountry recreation within direct reach, effectively extending the usable footprint of this tract well beyond its own acreage. For a buyer focused on recreation, that adjacency is difficult to replicate on a comparable piece of private ground. Two homes are already in place on the property. Both need renovation, but the bones are strong, and the infrastructure to support them is already in place, well, septic and electric onsite, with fiber optic internet also available to the property. A buyer can renovate at their own pace, whether that means restoring one home as a primary residence and holding the other as a guest house or rental, or taking a phased approach as time and budget allow. The combination of two dwellings, private water, creek frontage, and National Forest access makes this Alleghany County property genuinely flexible in how it can be used. It works as a permanent residence with room to spread out, as a recreational retreat for weekends spent hunting, fishing, and riding the trails, or as an Airbnb or short-term rental property that trades on its creek frontage and forest-border setting -- and the two-home layout means an owner isn't limited to just one of those uses at a time. For anyone looking for a Virginia mountain property that pairs usable acreage and existing structures with real water features and public land access, this 62.215+/- acre tract on Potts Creek is worth a serious look.
