Property Plat & Map

This spectacular property contains a total of 202.88 acres located on State Route 617 (Jamison Mountain Road) in the incredibly beautiful Rich Patch area of southern Alleghany County, Virginia adjacent to the Craig County line.  The Jamison Mountain Tract offers a multitude of recreational opportunities highlighted by exceptional big game hunting.  The diverse wildlife in the area includes an abundant population of white tail deer, wild turkey and black bear.  A long common boundary with the US Forest Service provides access to large areas of public land in the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests which greatly enhances the wonderful potential for hunting, hiking, rock climbing or just exploring the remote high country terrain.  The Barbours Creek Wilderness is located nearby providing outstanding trout fishing possibilities along with many other exciting outdoor activities. 

State Route 617 (Jamison Mountain Road) passes through this tract of land creating long frontage on both sides of the road and good access into the property.  There is an ample interior road system on the property with good all terrain vehicle access throughout the tract.  This property features small fields in a beautiful pastoral setting that were part of an old mountain farm in the past including an elevated orchard area that is a prime home or hunting lodge site.  Most of this tract consists of mature upland hardwoods with scattered pine.  There is valuable standing timber on this property.  Improvements to this property include an old stucco one and one half story dwelling and several small frame barns.  The physical address of the house on the property is 2809 Jamison Mountain Road, Covington, Virginia.

The natural beauty of this property is accentuated by stunning mountain views in every direction including extremely unique vantage points of Nicholls Knob which serves as a geographic landmark in southern Alleghany County.  The summit of Nicholls Knob is 3,561 feet above sea level and lies just above the northwest corner of this tract of land.  The picturesque scenes from this property of the dramatic rock face on Nicholls Knob at the northern end of Potts Mountain forms a lasting impression to even a casual observer.
