Rare Riverfront Acreage in the Heart of Todd – Halfway Between Boone & West Jefferson! An exceptional opportunity to own 8.563 unrestricted acres with approximately 367 feet of frontage on the South Fork of the New River and approximately 390 feet of frontage on scenic, state-maintained Railroad Grade Road, just minutes from the historic and vibrant community of Todd. Recently recombined into one beautiful tract, this property offers the space and flexibility to create a private mountain retreat, family compound, or investment property. A roughed-in driveway leads directly from Railroad Grade Road into the acreage and connects with additional interior roadways. While improvements will be needed, much of the initial work of establishing access into the property has already been started. These roadways provide access to multiple potential building sites, including elevated areas with potential long-range mountain and river views. Across Railroad Grade Road, approximately 367 feet of river frontage offers your own place to enjoy the New River—perfect for fishing, kayaking, tubing, canoeing, or simply relaxing by the water. There's plenty of room to create a picnic area, fire pit, or private riverside gathering spot. The Todd area is beloved for its outdoor recreation, strong sense of community, and laid-back mountain lifestyle. Railroad Grade Road, once a historic railroad bed, gently follows the 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, while Boone and West Jefferson are both within easy driving distance. The adjoining 5.118-acre tract is also available separately, offering an additional opportunity for buyers seeking more acreage. That property includes an older home and its own river frontage, creating the potential to purchase one or both tracts. Whether you're dreaming of one spectacular mountain home, multiple potential building sites for family and friends, or a unique riverfront investment, this property offers a rare combination of acreage, river frontage, views, unrestricted use, and location in one of the High Country's most sought-after river communities.
