Property Description

Didlake Tract (YK1808) — Key Land & Tax Summary The Didlake Tract spans approximately 800 acres and is strategically positioned at the convergence of key hydrological features within the Dragon Run system, situated at the mouth of Exol Swamp as it flows directly into the Dragon Swamp. This relationship creates a landscape defined by water-driven ecology and natural boundaries, with the Dragon Swamp forming a dominant western edge of the property and reinforcing both environmental integrity and long-term land continuity . Spanning a substantial, contiguous block of conserved forestland, the tract is protected under a conservation easement held by The Nature Conservancy and is permanently maintained as a working forest—balancing ecological preservation with sustainable timber management. The tract is defined by its scale and continuity, contributing to one of the largest unfragmented forest systems in the lower Chesapeake Bay region. Its timber base supports ongoing forest management practices, while its position within the Dragon Run and Mattaponi River corridor reinforces both habitat value and long-term environmental significance. As part of this broader conservation landscape, the property benefits from structural protections that prioritize land continuity and ecological function. Per paragraph 2.1 Subdivision and paragraph 2.2 Building Envelopes, these properties can be managed for limited residential use, designed to minimize impact on the surrounding forest. The tract’s size and internal access also support a range of recreational uses, including hunting and passive land enjoyment, without compromising its primary function as managed timberland. The Didlake Tract is best understood as a scaled, institutionally aligned landholding—where conservation objectives and biological productivity converge within a protected and increasingly scarce forest system. Property boundaries are estimated based on available data and are not warranted. Property owner to provide title research for Buyer prior to closing.
