Why this home stands out
Raw acreage this close to a small-city core is genuinely hard to find in Southampton County. At 9.21 acres, this parcel is large enough for a custom homesite, hobby farm, equestrian use, or a combination of all three. There are no existing structures dictating your plans — just land, sky, and the freedom to develop on your own timeline and terms.
ALL OTHERS AREA 67 and the Franklin real estate market
Armory Drive sits on the edge of Franklin, a small independent city in southeastern Virginia that punches above its weight for day-to-day livability. Franklin straddles the Blackwater River and carries a quiet, unhurried character that draws people who want space without total isolation. The surrounding area — broadly categorized as the outer Franklin corridor — is a mix of working farms, wooded lots, and modest residential pockets, making a 9-acre parcel feel right at home rather than out of place. Franklin itself offers a compact downtown with local businesses, a regional medical center, and solid road connections to Suffolk, Isle of Wight County, and the broader Hampton Roads metro. US-58 and US-460 both pass through, giving you reasonable access east toward the Virginia Beach area or west toward Emporia and I-95. If you've been searching for Franklin Virginia land for sale with proximity to services but room to breathe, this address checks both boxes without compromise.
What's nearby
Daily errands are genuinely easy from Armory Drive. A Walmart Supercenter and Walmart Grocery Pickup are both within 0.2 miles, and a BP station is equally close for quick stops. When you want a sit-down meal, Kiki's Grill and El Ranchero Mexican Grill and Bar are both within a tenth of a mile. McDonald's is right there too, pulling double duty as a quick bite and a coffee stop. Starbucks Coffee Company is 0.2 miles out, and Wawa — always a Hampton Roads-area favorite — is just 0.3 miles away. Anytime Fitness is 0.6 miles from the parcel, so staying active doesn't require a long drive.
For different buyers
For military families relocating
Joint Staff J7 in Suffolk is roughly 42 minutes from this parcel, which puts it within reasonable range for personnel who prefer rural living over base-adjacent suburbs. A VA loan can be used to purchase land under certain construction-loan structures, so if you've been thinking about building a custom home on acreage, this is worth a conversation with a VA-savvy lender.
For buyers drawn to character
If your vision involves chickens, raised garden beds, a workshop, a barn, or just a long driveway with trees on both sides, 9.21 acres in Franklin gives you the canvas. There's no HOA, no existing footprint to work around, and no neighbors telling you what to do with your land. Build what you want, at the pace that works for you.
Frequently asked questions
How far is 9.2acs Armory Drive from Joint Staff J7 Suffolk?
The drive from this parcel to Joint Staff J7 in Suffolk runs approximately 42 minutes under normal traffic conditions, heading northeast via US-58.
What can you build on a 9.21-acre parcel in Franklin, Virginia?
Southampton County and the City of Franklin have their own zoning regulations that govern permitted uses — residential, agricultural, and mixed uses are common on parcels this size, but you'll want to confirm the specific zoning designation and any applicable setbacks or use restrictions with the local planning office before finalizing plans.
Is 9.2acs Armory Drive in a flood zone?
Flood zone status for this parcel is displayed in the FloodRisk tile on this page — check there for the most current FEMA designation.
Does this property have utilities already connected?
Utility availability — including water, sewer, and electric hookups — should be verified directly with the City of Franklin and local utility providers, as raw land parcels vary significantly in what infrastructure is already stubbed to the lot line.
Can a VA loan be used to purchase land in Virginia?
VA loans are generally designed for properties with an existing residence, but some lenders offer VA construction loan products that combine land purchase and home construction into a single loan — speaking with a VA-experienced lender is the best way to understand your options for this type of parcel.
