Description

Turkey Ridge is a rare opportunity to own a large, secluded acreage tract that adjoins the Gathright Wildlife Management Area, providing direct access to thousands of acres of public land surrounding Lake Moomaw. Well known among hunters for its abundance of game, Turkey Ridge lives up to its name with flocks of Eastern wild turkeys and frequent sightings of trophy-class whitetail deer and black bear. The land is steeped in hunting lore, where gigantic Toms and monster bucks roam freely through a mix of hardwood forests and rolling ridges. But this property isn’t just for hunting. With Lake Moomaw just over the ridge, enjoy boating, fishing, and swimming in one of Virginia’s most scenic mountain lakes. The nearby Jackson River offers some of the best fly fishing in the region, as well as kayaking and canoeing, while the Jackson River Scenic Trail invites biking, jogging, or leisurely walks along the water. Turkey Ridge is easily accessed by road frontage and features multiple points of entry. An internal road network winds through the property, making it easy to reach nearly every corner. Numerous building sites are scattered throughout, each offering panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys—ideal for a cabin, lodge, or private estate. Despite its accessibility, the land remains incredibly private and remote, offering the kind of seclusion rarely found in today’s market. All this, just a short drive from the charming towns of Hot Springs and Warm Springs, where you’ll find fine dining, historic attractions, and amenities in a relaxed mountain setting. Hunt spring gobblers in the morning and play a round of golf at The Omni Homestead Resort in the afternoon. Turkey Ridge is more than land—it’s a gateway to the Appalachian wilderness and an investment in a lifestyle defined by adventure, solitude, and natural beauty.
