Discover a rare opportunity to own 98.63 surveyed acres with approximately 3,000 feet of frontage along the scenic Dan River in Halifax County, Virginia. Accessed by a recorded deeded easement from Pointer Road, this remarkable property offers privacy, natural beauty, and plenty of room to explore. An established road extends through much of the property and leads to a point where the Dan River comes into view. From there, a short walk through the mixed timber brings you to the river's edge. Two existing open areas of approximately one-half acre each offer ideal locations for food plots, campsites, or future homesites and are well-suited for Starlink satellite internet. Danville Utilities electricity is available on Pointer Road. McCains Creek flows through the front left corner of the property, while spring-fed Rocky Branch winds through the front right corner, adding to the property's natural beauty and creating excellent wildlife habitat. The rolling terrain features mixed timber, providing recreational opportunities along with potential future timber value. Abundant deer, turkey, and other wildlife make this an excellent hunting property, while the Dan River and two creeks provide opportunities for fishing, kayaking, canoeing, hiking, ATV riding, and exploring the outdoors. Large riverfront tracts of this size are increasingly difficult to find, making this a unique opportunity for sportsmen, investors, conservation-minded buyers, or anyone looking for a private recreational retreat or a place to build and enjoy for generations.
