Opportunities to own a property of this size, diversity, & location are almost nonexistent. Encompassing 663.8± acres within the historic boundaries of the Great Dismal Swamp, this sportsman's paradise offers world-class waterfowl hunting, trophy whitetails, black bears, & unmatched privacy just a short drive from Virginia Beach, Norfolk, & the greater Hampton Roads area. Steeped in history, the Great Dismal Swamp has long been one of the East Coast's premier wildlife habitats. Long before becoming a National Wildlife Refuge, its secluded wetlands served as a vital wintering area for migrating waterfowl while supporting abundant deer, black bear, & other wildlife. Today, the property borders the 113,000-acre Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge along its western & southern boundaries, ensuring exceptional habitat, privacy, & protection from future development. Accessed from Peach Rd through multiple gated entrances, the property features an extensive road & trail system built atop an elevated dike network, providing outstanding access by truck, UTV, horseback, or on foot. For waterfowl hunters, few Virginia properties compare. Nearby Lake Drummond, a 3,100-acre freshwater lake in the heart of the refuge, serves as a major winter roost for thousands of migrating ducks that disperse into the surrounding swamps each morning, creating exceptional hunting opportunities. Deer & bear hunting are equally impressive, with 663.8± acres adjoining one of the east coast's largest protected wilderness areas. Approximately 544.46 acres are enrolled in a wetland mitigation bank, permanently preserving the exceptional habitat while benefiting from ongoing professional stewardship. The remaining 119.34± acres consist of unencumbered timberland dominated by red maple, sweetgum, & loblolly pine, offering future timber harvest potential & subject to county approval & favorable soil evaluations, the opportunity for a hunting cabin or equipment building. Whether your passion is waterfowl, deer, or bear hunting, trail riding, or simply owning a piece of Virginia’s history, The Chesapeake Wetland Mitigation Bank represents a rare opportunity to own a true legacy tract.
