Willis, Virginia sits in Floyd County, on the Blue Ridge Plateau near a landscape whose very name comes from the land itself: early settlers found six-sided quartz crystals scattered through nearby Rock Castle Gorge, and the shapes reminded them of castle towers, giving the gorge — and much of this corner of the county — its lasting name. That gorge once held an entire farming community before families were displaced to make way for the Blue Ridge Parkway in the 1930s, a history recently documented in the film “Rock Castle Home.” On 7.95 acres in that same historic Floyd County landscape, a genuinely new two-bedroom home at 135 & 137 Halls Store Rd SW is now listed at $50,000.
A Small Footprint, Built Recent
Unlike most listings on acreage this size, this home was built in 2020 — genuinely new construction rather than a decades-old structure. At 576 square feet, it’s a compact, efficient layout with two bedrooms and one full bathroom, both bedrooms and the bathroom on the single main level. The home includes an electric thermostat wall heater and a window AC unit for climate control, plus washer and dryer hookups already in place for move-in convenience.
For a buyer specifically looking for a small, low-maintenance footprint — a tiny home, a hunting retreat, or a starter structure to build around over time — this is a rare combination of brand-new construction and genuine acreage at an entry-level price.
Nearly 8 Gently Sloping Acres
The lot itself spans 7.95 acres with a gentle slope, offering real room to expand, garden, or simply enjoy privacy well beyond the home’s compact footprint. The dual address (135 & 137 Halls Store Rd SW) suggests the listing may include more than one parcel or structure — worth confirming directly with the listing agent for buyers interested in the full scope of what’s included.
The Practical Details
Water comes from a private well, and the property runs on a private septic system — both genuinely new, matching the home’s 2020 construction. Annual property taxes run $1,427, and the home has been on the market for 24 days as of this listing.

Why Willis
Willis sits in Floyd County along the Blue Ridge Parkway corridor, close to Rocky Knob Recreation Area, Mabry Mill — the most photographed site on the entire Parkway — and Chateau Morrisette winery. The county’s broader identity centers on the Town of Floyd, a stop on Virginia’s Crooked Road Heritage Music Trail, known for its Friday Night Jamboree that draws musicians from around the world. For a buyer looking for a genuinely new, affordable structure on real acreage in a region layered with mountain history and music culture, Willis offers an unusually low entry point.
