The Lake at Buck Hill offers 157.32 acres of prime recreational, residential, and agricultural land in the heart of Central Virginia. Comprised of two parcels with approximately 1,751 feet of frontage along Seals Road, the property offers future subdivision potential. Approximately 27 acres are in active crop rotation (corn and soybeans), providing income and excellent wildlife habitat. The land features two spring-fed ponds filled with bass, crappie, and northern pickerel, including one approximately 1 acre and a larger 8.5+ acre pond. There are roughly 2+ miles of established trails providing access throughout the property—ideal for UTV riding, horseback riding, or accessing multiple stand locations. The timber was harvested in 2010 and has naturally regenerated, predominantly in loblolly pine, offering future income potential. The 1,267 sq ft ranch home, built in 2012, offers 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths and is well-suited as a primary residence, weekend retreat, hunting lodge, or rental. The home is currently leased through 12/31/2026, and the land is also leased to a local hunt club through 12/31/2026, with lease payments to be prorated at closing. A renovated Civil War-era potato barn with 200-amp service and RV hookup adds versatility for a workshop, storage, mancave, she shed, or hunt club. This property has only changed hands once since the 1800s and represents a rare opportunity to own a large, contiguous tract with water, recreational appeal, and both current and future income streams. Conveniently located approximately 44 miles from Richmond and 35 miles from Fredericksburg, it offers an easy commute for a primary residence or weekend getaway. A survey was completed in 2012 and just needs to be recorded. Proof of funds/preapproval letter & 48-hr notice required for showings due to tenant. Seller requests that the listing agent be present for showings.
