Kettle Creek at the Little River

Description

Kettle Creek at the Little River presents a rare opportunity to own a historic and breathtakingly preserved property, safeguarded for generations to come. Nestled within a conservation easement in the heart of the Atlantic Flyway, this extraordinary land offers a harmonious blend of natural beauty, rich history, and practical utility.

Spanning vast acres of diverse terrain, the property is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts. It allows for hunting, fishing, timber production, and cattle grazing, with three reserved homesites and the ability to construct barns. Approximately 40 acres are fenced and gated for cattle production, providing an excellent setup for livestock operations. Recently, approximately 170 acres have been replanted with NextGen pines, while over 50 acres are currently dedicated to hay production—an additional 80+ acres can be quickly converted for agricultural use, with even more land available for fields of your choosing. The balance of the property is a stunning mix of mature hardwoods and towering pines.

Framed by over 3 miles of frontage along the Little River to the south and 2+/- miles along historic Kettle Creek, this land is steeped in history. The very banks of Kettle Creek bore witness to significant battles of the American Revolution (1775–1783), adding a profound sense of heritage to the property. At the southeastern tip, these two remarkable waterways converge, enhancing the land’s natural allure. Numerous interior creeks and streams weave through the terrain, forming picturesque wetlands and prime duck habitats.

Comprising three distinct tracts along Sandy Cross Road (4,700+ feet paved on both sides) and Quaker Springs Road (4,960+ feet paved on both sides), this property offers both accessibility and seclusion. A well and power are already in place at the hunting camp, making it an ideal setup for an outdoor retreat. While the land cannot be subdivided, it is perfectly suited for an exceptional hunting retreat, a private family compound, a corporate retreat, or a legacy estate that will be cherished for generations. The landowner is in discussions with the Land Trust about the possibility of selling the property as three separate tracts, defined by the natural boundaries of the creek, river, and roads. If feasible, the seller may offer the tracts individually at adjusted prices based on the final agreement.

This property has been managed under Quality Deer Management for the past three years. Only deer with a minimum of 10 points extending beyond the ears have been harvested.  See the pictures at the end of the picture roll.
