Outstanding development or investment opportunity with 250+ feet of frontage on Birch Elmo Road. This 48.6-acre property consists of 20 pre-subdivided lots ranging from 1.1 to 4.8 acres. Each lot has previously been evaluated for suitable septic soils, and an existing high-capacity well—originally installed to serve a Wellspring Academy campus—provides valuable infrastructure already in place. Buyers should conduct their own due diligence regarding utilities, development plans, and approvals. Located just 15 minutes from South Boston and 25 minutes from Danville, the property offers a strong foundation for future development. Contact the listing agent for deeds, plats, septic information, and well documentation. Property lines are depicted in Photos 28–32. An established internal trail system follows the route of the proposed road network shown on the plat, providing convenient access throughout the tract. Rolling topography, mixed timber, 1,400+ feet of frontage on Carlton Creek, and multiple ponds create attractive homesite potential and recreational appeal. Opportunities with this level of planning and infrastructure already in place are increasingly rare in Halifax County.
