39.25 +/- Acre Timber And Recreational Tract In Alleghany County, VA

Tucked into the mountains of western Virginia, this 39.25 +/- acre tract offers hardwood timber, water, and true seclusion, without giving up easy access. Ogles Creek runs directly through the property, and the tract carries frontage on two roads: Ogles Creek Rd and Ruckers Gap, with 2,100 +/- feet of combined road frontage between them. Electric service is already at the road, a real head start for anyone looking to build a cabin or camp. The timber is mixed hardwood, the kind of mountain habitat that supports serious wildlife numbers. Whitetail deer, wild turkey, and black bear are all resident on the property, making this a strong pick for a hunting camp or a standalone recreational tract. While the property doesn't directly border the national forest, it sits a short drive from thousands of acres of George Washington National Forest, giving an owner far more ground to roam than the deed alone shows. Location is a big part of the story here. The tract lies in the Alleghany Highlands, a short drive to Covington, VA, for groceries, fuel, and everyday needs, and a short drive to White Sulphur Springs, WV, home of the historic Greenbrier Resort. Lake Moomaw, one of the clearest lakes in Virginia with 2,530 surface acres and 43 miles of undeveloped shoreline, is within reach for fishing and boating, and Lake Sherwood Recreation Area in the Monongahela National Forest offers another nearby lake for swimming, paddling, and hiking. That's a rare mix: secluded mountain ground with quick access to modern amenities in two states. This is a property for someone who wants raw, timberland land with water running through it and game already on it. Whether the goal is a hunting retreat, a weekend recreational property, or long-term timber ground, this tract delivers the habitat, the water, and the location to make it work.
