Tom & Dariya's overview

Our read on this home

by Tom & Dariya Milan, REALTORS® · Brokered by LPT Realty

At a glance

Nine-plus acres of open land in Franklin, Virginia — a rare, sizable parcel on Armory Drive that gives you real room to build, farm, or simply hold ground in a growing Southampton County corridor with everyday conveniences already right at the door.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

Land this size is genuinely hard to come by inside a town boundary. At 9.21 acres, Armory Drive hands you the kind of canvas that most buyers spend years searching for — enough room for a custom home with a proper setback, outbuildings, gardens, or small-scale agricultural use, all while sitting within a quarter-mile of a full Walmart Supercenter and major dining options. That combination of acreage and accessibility is the real story here.

ALL OTHERS AREA 67 and the Franklin real estate market

Franklin sits in the heart of Southampton County in Virginia's rural southeast, about an hour from the Hampton Roads metro and roughly 45 minutes from Suffolk. It's a small city — roughly 8,000 residents — with a tight-knit feel and a long history rooted in agriculture, timber, and manufacturing. The Armory Drive corridor anchors the commercial edge of town, which means this parcel sits at an interesting intersection: genuine open land with the kind of infrastructure — roads, utilities nearby, retail — that raw rural acreage rarely offers. Franklin's pace is unhurried, neighbors tend to know each other, and the surrounding landscape of fields and pine stands gives the whole area a distinctly Southside Virginia character. For buyers comparing land options across the region, this address offers a foothold in a community that has real bones and room left to grow.

What's nearby

Daily errands are already solved. Walmart Supercenter is 0.3 miles away, and Starbucks and Wawa are both within a short drive for morning coffee. When you want to eat out, El Ranchero Mexican Grill and Bar and Kiki's Grill are both about 0.2 miles away, with McDonald's rounding out quick options at 0.3 miles. Anytime Fitness is 0.7 miles out for workouts. The fact that a 9-acre parcel sits this close to everyday amenities — without feeling like a subdivision lot — is genuinely unusual and one of the strongest practical arguments for this address.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Joint Staff J7 in Suffolk is roughly 42 minutes from Armory Drive, making Franklin a realistic option for service members who want land, space, and lower land costs than the immediate Hampton Roads market. A VA loan can be used to purchase land with a simultaneous construction loan through certain lenders — worth exploring if you're ready to build on your own terms.

For buyers drawn to character

If your vision involves a custom-built home with real distance between you and your neighbors, a workshop, a barn, a garden that actually produces — 9.21 acres on Armory Drive is the kind of starting point that makes those plans possible. Franklin's Southside Virginia character adds authenticity that no master-planned community can replicate.

More buyer questions

How far is 9.2acs Armory Drive from Joint Staff J7 in Suffolk?

The drive from Armory Drive in Franklin to Joint Staff J7 in Suffolk runs approximately 42 minutes under normal conditions, primarily along Route 58 east.

What can land zoned in this area of Franklin, Virginia be used for?

Southampton County and the City of Franklin have their own zoning designations that govern agricultural, residential, and commercial uses — contacting the Franklin Department of Planning directly will give you the most accurate picture for this specific parcel before you make any plans.

Is there a flood zone concern for this parcel on Armory Drive?

Flood zone status for this address is detailed in the FloodRisk tile on this page, which pulls current FEMA map data for the parcel.

Are utilities available at the Armory Drive property?

Utility availability — including water, sewer, and electric — should be confirmed directly with the City of Franklin and Dominion Energy, as service extension requirements vary by parcel location and intended use.

Can a VA loan be used to purchase land in Franklin, Virginia?

A VA loan in its standard form covers the purchase of a primary residence, not bare land alone — however, some lenders offer construction-to-permanent loan products that pair with VA benefits when you're building simultaneously, so it's worth a direct conversation with a VA-approved lender.
