Rare opportunity to build in a highly desirable Blacksburg location. This vacant lot on Draper Road is conveniently located near downtown, Virginia Tech, the Huckleberry Trail, and the shops, restaurants, and amenities along South Main Street. Enjoy easy access to so much of what makes Blacksburg a great place to live, all from an established in-town setting. Vacant lots in locations like this are increasingly hard to find.
Miller Southside, located between Downtown Blacksburg and Virginia Tech’s campus, is a residential and walkable Blacksburg neighborhood with tree-lined streets and a classic college-town rhythm. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along South Main Street near the Prices Fork Road intersection, where coffee counters, late-night bites, and storefronts keep the sidewalks active. Housing leans toward older single-family homes and small apartment buildings, with porches and mature landscaping shaping the streetscape. The Lyric Theatre anchors local culture with marquee lights and indie screenings. Gillie’s and The Cellar Restaurant add long-running, locally rooted dining landmarks. Huckleberry Trail access and nearby parks keep daily routines tied to the outdoors.
