Hutson Trails consists of 1,477 acres which contain a mixture of mountain forest and wildlife clearings linked by extensive walking trails. Hutson Creek, which runs through the property, is one of the headwaters of the New River. The property is contiguous to, and surrounded on three sides by, the Jefferson National Forest, thus decreasing the habitat fragmentation along this National Forest boundary. A conservation easement protects the wildlife values of the property by limiting forestry and allowing one primary and two secondary building sites. This property is perfect for a family retreat, retirement estate or hunting club.

Elevation ranges from 2,400 ft. to 3,700 ft. The forest was timbered in 1990, and is now in mid-successional stage. Vegetation includes maples, hickory, oaks, hemlock, pine, and an understory of mountain laurel, rhododendron, and other species.

The property contains several wildlife clearings connected by previous roads and trails. No structures exist on the property except temporary hunting blinds.

"What makes this property unique is that it represents part of the headwaters of Reed creek and New River watersheds, and the tract is an isolated valley between two ridges...
It not every day that a 1,400-acre opportunity comes on the market. .."
-Andy Kegley, former owner of the Hutson Trails Property
