Prime 72.835-acre development opportunity just west of the Town of Blackstone with exceptional frontage on both Highway 40 (Darvills Road) and Military Road. The property adjoins Fort Pickett, with a corner located adjacent to the installation's main gate, offering outstanding visibility and strategic access. Blackstone is expected to annex the property within the next year, providing access to town services. Utilities are well positioned for development, including town water along both road frontages, a sanitary sewer easement connecting to the property, nearby sewer service, Southside Electric 3-phase power, and high-speed broadband. Ideally located just minutes from Fort Pickett, the Foreign Affairs Security Training Center (FASTC), Blackstone Municipal Airport, and the Town of Blackstone's commercial district, this property is zoned PD-1 (Planned Development District), offering tremendous flexibility. Potential uses include a mixed-use industrial park, multifamily residential development, commercial uses, and other planned development opportunities (see attached zoning information). A rare opportunity to secure one of the region's premier development sites.
