Forested with hardwoods, evergreens, and lush vegetation, including large rhododendron stands, the 181-acre +/- picturesque property offers elevated locations overlooking the creek that are potential sites for a year-round home, vacation home, or camp. A fisherman's paradise, Knapps Creek has rainbow, brown, and brook trout, smallmouth bass, and catfish. The creek is regularly stocked from January through May and twice in October and is popular for fly fishing and baitcasting. Just around the corner, the nearby Knapps Creek Trout Lodge offers fly fishing lessons and guided trips.
In addition to its abundant fishing opportunities, there's something quite magical and serene about this property and the soothing sound of the flowing creek. The woods are quiet, perfect for hiking, viewing wildlife, and immersion in the natural world.
Southern Pocahontas County is a scenic 4-hour drive from Washington, D.C.
