743 Nelson Church Rd, Nelson, VA 24580

This 51 acre farm in the Nelson area of Mecklenburg County offers the kind of rural opportunity that's getting harder to find. With a mix of open pasture, healthy timber, a 2.5-acre pond, and historical outbuildings, it's a property rooted in Southern farmland tradition. The land includes 12 acres of open ag ground, 30 acres of mixed hardwoods and planted pines, and a layout that supports everything from small-scale farming to hunting, homesteading, or future estate development. The 3,120 sq ft farmhouse sits more than 1,600 feet off the main road, tucked behind fields and trees that provide the kind of privacy that's hard to come by. With 4 bedrooms and a wide front porch, it's a home built for gathering, grounded in simple comforts. Two weathered barns and multiple sheds add character and utility—ready for livestock, storage, or repurposing into something new. Whether you're dreaming of a full-time homestead, a working farm, or a weekend retreat with room to hunt, fish, and explore, this is the kind of place that invites you to slow down and settle in.
