PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS:

- 0.42 acres of gently rolling, wooded terrain in Franklin County, VA

- Our research indicates the property is part of the Lynville On The Lake HOA, which maintains the community water system; annual HOA dues and water availability fees apply, and buyers should verify current amounts directly with the HOA

- Not subdividable further under current lot size rules — ideal as a single homesite rather than a development play
