Large Recreational Retreat for Sale in Wytheville, VA

Nestled toward the end of Dry Gulch Road in Wytheville, Virginia, this 98+/- acre tract of raw, unrestricted land offers an unrivaled opportunity for those seeking true seclusion and outdoor adventure. Surrounded by the breathtaking beauty of Wythe County, the property borders the expansive Jefferson National Forest – more than 200,000 acres of protected wilderness in Southwest Virginia – providing direct access to endless hiking, hunting, and recreational opportunities right from your backyard. With elevations up to 3,600 feet, the land features rolling wooded terrain with white pine, oak, hemlock, cherry, rhododendron, and mountain laurel, creating a diverse and vibrant mountain landscape. Seasonal long-range views to the east can be enjoyed from multiple vantage points, with the potential for year-round panoramas through selective clearing.

An established ATV/UTV trail system winds through the heart of the property, making it easy to explore the ridges and hollows that define this tract. A couple of treestands are already in place, and the heavy deer activity throughout makes it ideal for serious hunters or those looking to enjoy the abundant wildlife. Near the entrance, a flat area provides an excellent base camp location or could be transformed into a food plot to further enhance the habitat. Higher up, several potential building sites offer the perfect setting for a rustic cabin or off-grid retreat, where you could capture incredible views while maintaining complete privacy.

Whether you envision building a log cabin “down in the holler” as a base camp, or clearing a ridgetop for a panoramic pavilion overlooking thousands of untouched acres, this property offers the space and freedom to create your dream escape. Imagine hosting friends and family for mountain-to-table dinners, evenings around the campfire under an endless canopy of stars, and weekends filled with hunting, hiking, and riding trails deep into the mountains of Appalachia. Opportunities like this – directly bordering Jefferson National Forest – are rare and highly sought after, making this 98+/- acre tract in Wythe County an exceptional find for anyone looking to own a private slice of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Conveniently located just outside the town of Wytheville, this property offers direct access to endless outdoor recreation while still being close to the region’s most popular attractions.
