HOMESTEAD OR SUBDIVIDE 17+ AC JUST OUTSIDE FOREST, VA

1514 Sweet Hollow Rd, Big Island, VA 24526 | Bedford County | $140,000 | 17.16 Acres Your land. Your rules. Your legacy. Most people aren't searching for acreage—they're searching for possibility. A place where family gathers. A place to build. A place where you control what happens next. This 17.16-acre property at Sweet Hollow Road offers something increasingly difficult to find near Lynchburg and Forest: usable acreage, long road frontage, mountain views, existing homesite history, and enough flexibility to create almost any vision you have for the future. With approximately 2,000 feet of frontage along Sweet Hollow Road, eastern and southern-facing mountain views toward No Business Mountain, a creek along the southern boundary, and a mix of open scrub and hardwoods, this property creates opportunities for buyers looking to build, invest, farm, or create a family compound. The property includes an historic homesite dating to approximately 1880 along with two outbuildings being sold strictly as-is with no value assigned to structures. Existing homesite history suggests prior utility use, with nearby power availability, an existing well of unknown condition, and prior septic history that buyers should verify independently. What makes this property particularly interesting is flexibility. Bedford County's minor subdivision rules may allow buyers to create multiple parcels (buyers to verify independently). Whether that's building your own homestead, creating a family compound, dividing lots for future sale, or simply holding land in one of the Lynchburg region's expanding growth corridors — this tract gives you options tomorrow. Forest, Virginia is approximately seven miles away, placing shopping, schools, healthcare, and everyday conveniences within easy reach while preserving the privacy and freedom that rural Bedford County offers.
