Rare acreage parcel with ~900' stream frontage and open hay field
17.5 acres
Lot
With nearly 980 feet of paved state-road frontage and roughly 900 feet of stream frontage, this Westfield property reads as a private country compound ready for restoration or reinvention. Spread across 17.5 acres, the landscape balances about 3.5 acres of open hay field with approximately 14 acres of mature hardwoods and pine—a configuration that offers immediate pasture or hay-growing opportunity while preserving forested privacy and habitat.
A farmhouse sits on the parcel; current records list the structure but the condition and liveable square footage are not documented, making an inspection a priority for buyers who want to renovate and live onsite or update the home as part of a larger mini-farm plan. Essential services are in place at the road: well water and a septic system are reported on the property while electric and fiber internet run along NC Highway 66 S—rare conveniences for a parcel of this size in Stokes County.
Zoned Residential Agricultural (RA), the land supports single-family residential and agricultural uses with no HOA and only minimal deed restrictions. The level topography and long road frontage create multiple options for driveway placement, accessory buildings, and future site planning. For those who prize outdoor recreation, the property is within driving distance of Pilot Mountain State Park (17 miles) and Hanging Rock State Park (19 miles), providing hiking, climbing and weekend escapes while maintaining the solitude of rural living.
From an ownership-cost perspective, the parcel’s assessed value is notably conservative at $129,400 with very low annual taxes ($190.15 for 2025), and a current market estimate places fair value in the $250,000–$300,000 range (midpoint $275,000). Key due-diligence items include confirming the farmhouse’s structural condition, assessing potential flood risk related to the stream frontage, and verifying any deed restrictions or zoning nuances. Whether you’re seeking a country homestead, small-scale agricultural use, or a long-term land investment, this tract offers uncommon scale, water frontage, and direct highway access for convenient daily travel.
Schedule a site visit to walk the fields and stream bank, review utility connections at the road, and discuss options for restoring the farmhouse or reconfiguring the acreage. Serious buyers will appreciate the combination of open field, mature timber, and visible infrastructure in a scenic Stokes County setting.
This property sits in rural Westfield, a low-density part of Stokes County where agriculture and forested parcels define the landscape. The neighborhood offers country living with convenient paved access on NC Highway 66 S and quick drives to small-town services in Mount Airy and nearby communities. Outdoor recreation is a major draw—Pilot Mountain and Hanging Rock state parks are under a 30-minute drive, making weekend hiking, climbing and lake activities highly accessible. Local schools are part of Stokes County Schools, and the community culture favors self-sufficient homesteading, hobby farming, and quiet residential living rather than suburban conveniences.
Stokes County’s rural acreage market currently favors sellers for unique parcels but remains approachable for buyers who move decisively. Inventory of large tracts with water features is limited across the county—properties with stream frontage and existing improvements often attract owner-occupiers and hobby farmers, reducing time-on-market relative to standard residential listings. Local comparable sales are sparse and sometimes anomalous (one nearby sale record appears non-representative), so valuation relies heavily on acreage, frontage, and improvement potential. The parcel’s assessed value ($129,400) sits well below the estimated market range of $250,000–$300,000, indicating a valuation gap that savvy buyers and investors should investigate.
Days on market and monthly inventory metrics for this immediate micro-market are not well documented, but county-level trends show steady interest in rural holdings—particularly those with usable pasture and recreational access. Single-family farmhouses in RA zoning tend to retain strong demand when they combine acreage, water access, and road visibility. Given the limited comps and specific risks (unknown farmhouse condition, potential flood exposure), this is an opportune time for buyers who have completed inspections and financing plans; competitive offers that account for renovation costs will be most successful. Sellers benefit from the property’s combination of utility access, minimal restrictions, and recreational proximity, making it appealing to a targeted pool of buyers rather than the broad suburban market.
