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. The GDS 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 GDS 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 trail system built atop an elevated dike network, providing outstanding access. 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. Approx. 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.
