Tom & Dariya's overview

Our read on this home

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

At a glance

Lot 4 N College Drive is a clean three-acre parcel in Franklin, Virginia — raw land with room to build the home you've been designing in your head, plant a garden, or simply hold a quiet piece of Southampton County soil for the future.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

Three acres inside city limits is genuinely rare in Franklin. This parcel gives you the breathing room of a rural property without surrendering the convenience of town — utilities and services are close, the lot is flat and workable, and you're not locked into someone else's floor plan or finish choices. Start from scratch and build exactly what you want.

ALL OTHERS AREA 67 and the Franklin real estate market

Franklin sits along the Blackwater River in Southampton County, a small Virginia city with a genuine small-town rhythm — Friday night football, a walkable downtown, and neighbors who actually wave. N College Drive connects you to the heart of that community while keeping a comfortable buffer from the busiest corridors. The city has been investing steadily in its downtown core, and the surrounding residential streets reflect a mix of established families and newer arrivals who chose Franklin deliberately. Southampton County land is still priced in a way that makes a three-acre build site attainable for buyers who might be priced out of larger metro markets — and Franklin's position between Hampton Roads and the Raleigh-Durham corridor makes it a logical anchor point for remote workers or anyone who commutes regionally.

What's nearby

Day-to-day errands are straightforward from N College Drive. Dollar General is half a mile out for quick household needs, and Los Cerezos Latino Store and Don Pancho's Cantina are both under a mile for specialty grocery runs. China Express and Domino's Pizza are within half a mile when dinner is a last-minute decision, and Dunkin' is just 0.6 miles for the morning routine. For fitness, you have real options: TaylorMade Fitness VA is 0.7 miles, the James L. Camp Jr. Family YMCA is 0.8 miles, and Anytime Fitness rounds out the choices at one mile.

For different buyers

For military families relocating

Joint Staff J7 in Suffolk is roughly 40 minutes from N College Drive — manageable for a duty station with predictable hours. A VA loan can finance the land purchase and a construction loan can follow, making a custom build on three acres a realistic path for service members who want space, equity, and a permanent home base between deployments.

For families upgrading

If your current house feels like it's shrinking — too little yard, too little privacy, no room for a workshop or a garden — three acres on N College Drive resets the equation. Design the layout you actually need, set the garage where it makes sense, and give the kids outdoor space that doesn't end at a fence six feet from the neighbors.

More buyer questions

How far is Lot 4 N College Drive from Joint Staff J7 Suffolk?

The drive to Joint Staff J7 in Suffolk runs approximately 40 minutes under normal traffic conditions, primarily along Route 58 east — a straightforward commute with minimal congestion outside of peak hours.

What utilities are available at Lot 4 N College Drive in Franklin?

Franklin is a city with established utility infrastructure along N College Drive; buyers should confirm water, sewer, and electrical connection points with the City of Franklin and their builder prior to closing.

Is Lot 4 N College Drive in a flood zone?

Flood zone status for this parcel is addressed in the FloodRisk tile on this page — review that section and consult FEMA's current flood map for Southampton County before making any build decisions.

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

A standard VA loan does not cover a bare land purchase on its own, but a VA construction loan can bundle the land acquisition and home construction into a single loan — speak with a VA-approved lender familiar with construction financing to map out the right path.

What can be built on a three-acre parcel on N College Drive?

Zoning and setback requirements for this parcel are governed by the City of Franklin; buyers should verify permitted uses, minimum square footage requirements, and any deed restrictions directly with the city's planning and zoning office before finalizing plans.
