THIS is the kind of New River property that almost never hits the market. First time on the market in many years, this incredibly unique property sits just beyond the confluence of the North Fork and South Fork of the New River, where the two rivers come together to create a big, beautiful, wide stretch of water and you get an impressive amount of frontage to enjoy it. With over 8 acres of remarkably usable land, this property opens the door to just about anything you can dream up. The acreage lays exceptionally well, is easy to walk, and offers multiple potential building sites, both along the river and across the road overlooking it. Build your dream riverfront home, create a private family compound, add cabins or vacation rentals, or simply enjoy the space exactly as it is. Already in place is a modestly updated 1980s ranch-style home offering 3 bedrooms, 2 full baths, a spacious kitchen, dining area, living room, large laundry room, and beautiful views of the New River. Live here full-time, use it as your mountain getaway, or move right in while you design and build something new on another portion of the property. There was even once a pond beside the home that could potentially be restored for another great outdoor feature. Then there’s the riverfront. For years, a portion of the property has been home to Zaloo’s Outpost, giving this tract a history unlike almost anything else you’ll find along the New River. The existing business itself does not convey, but much of the infrastructure remains—including an outpost/bathhouse with separate men's and women's restrooms, shower stalls, and hot water. That creates some seriously exciting possibilities. Continue primitive camping along the river. Explore RV sites. Add glamping tents, tiny cabins, or other vacation rental concepts. Create a private river retreat for friends and family. Or forget the business side altogether and turn the outpost into your own private riverfront party spot, complete with bathrooms and showers already in place. Whether your vision is residential, recreational, investment-minded—or a little bit of all three—this property gives you the space and flexibility to make it happen. Wide New River frontage. Over eight usable acres. Multiple building sites. Existing residence. Bathhouse infrastructure. Potential income opportunities. And a location immediately downstream from one of the most iconic stretches of the New River. Properties with this much river, this much usable land, and this many possibilities simply do not come along often. Bring your plans, bring your imagination, and come walk this one—you’ll understand very quickly just how special this one is! Small cemetery on property.
