50 Acres of Timber, Tranquility, and Opportunity on Cherry Hill Road Dinwiddie County, VA
Welcome to a rare opportunity to own a sizable, scenic parcel of land in the heart of Dinwiddie County, Virginia. Located just south of U.S. Route 40 and nestled between the major arteries of Interstate 85 and Interstate 95, this approximately 50-acre tract offers a compelling mix of young pine timber, mature hardwoods, ample wildlife, and nearly 3,000 feet of road frontage on Cherry Hill Road. Whether you're an investor, recreational land buyer, future homeowner, or forestry professional, this tract promises untapped potential.
Location & Accessibility
This property is situated in one of Southside Virginia's most accessible yet peaceful areas. Just:
55 miles to Richmond A smooth, hour-long drive puts you in the capital of Virginia with access to world-class amenities, employment, and culture.
38 miles to Petersburg A short drive for groceries, dining, entertainment, and historic downtown charm.
27 miles to Emporia Convenient access to essentials, schools, and medical facilities.
Minutes from US Route 40 A quiet two-lane highway connecting this property with surrounding towns and communities.
Between I-85 and I-95 You're strategically positioned between two of the East Coast's most important travel corridors, offering excellent access for transport, travel, and logistics.
With nearly 3,000 feet of road frontage along Cherry Hill Road, this property offers superior access. Whether you plan to build a residence, subdivide into smaller parcels, utilize as a hunting property, or simply hold it for investment, the road frontage adds immense flexibility and value.
The Land: A Blend of Forest and Future
The parcel consists of approximately 50 acres, with a current survey required prior to sale to determine exact acreage and boundaries. The seller is offering the land by the acre, making this a flexible and fair opportunity tailored to your budget and objectives.
Three-Year-Old Pine Plantation
The majority of the land is currently planted in three-year-old loblolly pines, a robust, fast-growing species widely used in the southeastern U.S. for timber production. These young trees are thriving, uniform, and represent a strong investment for long-term timber returns.
Professionally planted and well-maintained, the pines are entering their next growth phase. With proper management, thinning, and rotation, this stand could yield lucrative pulpwood, chip-n-saw, or sawtimber harvests in the future. For the timber-minded buyer, this is a chance to watch your investment grow literally.
Mature Timber and Stream Management Zone (SMZ)
In addition to the pine plantation, the property features a stream management zone (SMZ) with mature, naturally regenerated hardwoods. This buffer zone not only protects water quality and provides ecological value, but also offers aesthetic beauty.
The SMZ contains a mixture of oak, hickory, poplar, and other hardwood species which are ideal for maintaining as a natural corridor for wildlife. This mature stand adds long-term timber diversity to the property and plays a critical role in sustaining a healthy ecosystem.
Wildlife & Recreation
For the outdoor enthusiast, this property offers abundant wildlife and exceptional recreational potential. It has long been part of a natural corridor that supports:
Whitetail deer
Small game such as squirrel, rabbit, and raccoon
The combination of young pine cover, open understory, and mature hardwood streamside buffers creates ideal habitat diversity.
Adding to the appeal is the property's natural privacy. With 3,000 feet of frontage, access is easy.
Topography, Soils & Buildability
This property features gently rolling terrain, typical of Dinwiddie County, with well-draining soils ideal for a variety of land uses. The topography is suitable for:
Residential construction
Agricultural plots
Pasture or livestock development
Roads and trails for hunting or ATV riding
Preliminary soil maps and local knowledge suggest suitable percolation for traditional septic systems, though buyers should perform a perk test for specific building sites. If you're looking to build a country home, cabin, or weekend retreat, you'll find multiple potential homesites throughout the tract some near the road, others tucked privately into the timber.
Development & Investment Potential
With such extensive road frontage and close proximity to infrastructure, this land is also well-suited for subdivision or development. The combination of young pine timber and proximity to major highways also makes this property attractive to those seeking land banking opportunities or long-term timber investment portfolios. You can generate income through timber harvests while maintaining or increasing your equity through land appreciation. Utility development costs are generally reasonable in this area, and the property's gentle terrain makes site preparation straightforward.

Pocahontas State Park (roughly an hour away): One of Virginia's largest state parks, offering trails, boating, camping, and educational programs.

The property is located in Dinwiddie County, a jurisdiction known for its rural character, low tax rates, and landowner-friendly policies. The area promotes responsible timber management, recreation, and residential use.
Zoning: Likely A-1 (Agricultural), which permits a wide range of uses including forestry, single-family homes, farming, and more. Buyers should confirm with Dinwiddie County Planning and Zoning.
