Property Description

Escape to the wild beauty of Southwest Virginia! This rare 36-acre property is located in Konnarock, on the slope of Straight Mountain, with views of Whitetop and Beech Mountains. Only 18 minutes from I-81 and the charming town of Chilhowie, where you'll find shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences, this secluded tract offers a true retreat into nature — perfect for hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, and anyone longing for peace, privacy, and starry night skies. Bordering a private road, the land features two potential homesites, including a lower level spot where an old house once stood, complete with well, septic, and available electricity (exact location and condition unknown). A small brook flows across part of the property and along the private road, emptying just on the other side of Konnarock Road into the trout-filled waters of Whitetop Laurel Creek — a dream setting for fishing, wildlife watching, and quiet reflection. The land directly abuts the Jefferson National Forest, giving you access to thousands of acres of preserved wilderness right out your back door. Wildlife abounds here: black bear, deer, foxes, bobcats, raccoons, hawks, owls, and a chorus of songbirds call this land home, along with a rich variety of native plants and towering trees. For outdoor adventurers, the location couldn't be better — world-class hiking is just minutes away on the Appalachian Trail, and the scenic Virginia Creeper Trail offers unforgettable biking through some of the region's most beautiful landscapes. Damascus, known as the "Friendliest Town on the Appalachian Trail," is just a short drive away. Historic Abingdon, with its famous Barter Theatre, charming shops, and rich cultural heritage, is also within easy reach. To the north, the highlands of Mount Rogers — Virginia's highest peak — and Grayson Highlands State Park offer breathtaking trails and the unforgettable experience of seeing the area's famous wild ponies roaming the open balds.
