2.56 Wooded Acres at Leesville Lake, VA

A buildable, lake-access homesite in the Runaway Bay community on Leesville Lake, the calmer sister lake to Smith Mountain.

Soil work done, approved for a 3-bedroom conventional septic

A state-licensed soil evaluator completed a site and soil evaluation in May 2026. The lot is approved for a 3-bedroom conventional septic system, so no engineered system is needed for a 3-bedroom home.

About the land

2.56 acres of wooded, gently sloping land, about 94 percent buildable, elevation around 826 ft. Corner lot where Hidden Cove Ln meets Thomas Ct, so you have road on two sides. Mountain views from the lot with the lake a short walk away.

The parcel directly across the road is community common area, so that outlook stays open. Runaway Bay has a boat ramp and day dock, gated boat and RV storage, tennis and basketball courts, a pavilion and walking trails.

Road access

Paved public road frontage on Hidden Cove Ln, about 352 ft on record, with state-maintained roads through the community. Not landlocked, no shared driveway.
