Located just 30 minutes outside of Charlottesville. This James River Farm is 118 acres of open ground and mature hardwood timber fronting the James River just downstream from Scottsville.
The property offers elevated building sites overlooking the river, along with Little Georgia creek that makes up the South and Eastern property lines. Wildlife is evident throughout with turkey, deer and ducks being seen all over the property in just the past few weeks.
Approximately 35 acres are in open low ground along with 1,500 feet of river frontage, giving you usable land for farming, recreation, or the potential to create a strong waterfowl habitat and hunting situation. There is a nice gravel road that starts at the entrance of the property and leads down to the low grounds making easy access the river.
This stretch of the James River is well known for smallmouth bass fishing, and the access to the water is gentle and easy—whether you’re walking down or putting a boat in.
The property has road frontage on Paynes Pond Road, along with a second gated access off the same road.
Large acreage on the James River is hard to find, especially this close to Charlottesville. Whether you’re looking for a place to build, hunt, fish, or just have a true river farm, this one checks a lot of boxes.
