Drakes Branch, VA 23937 - Charlotte County

The Civilian Conservation Corps was established during the Great Depression to provide meaningful work to able bodied men. Road construction was their specialty and this 20 acre tract has long frontage along one of those historic and scenic roads. Once a thoroughfare between small family farms, this particular road was paved and brought into the state system some years back. The 20 acres is all wooded, mostly in hardwood. Many good building sites can be found among the oaks, hickories, poplar, elm and other shade providing timber. A small stream gently flows through the property providing not only water for the local wildlife but a possible future pond site. Take the shady woodland trail across the creek to a hidden campsite deep in the forest. Explore old logging roads in search of forest mushrooms or maybe even ginseng. The grey squirrel and curious chipmunk will be keeping a watchful eye. Deer, turkey and bear frequent the property, traveling back and forth from the adjoining forest conservation lands. Whether you are looking for a weekend getaway property or wooded homesite, the old CCC Road will take you home. Owner/agent
