Description

Rare opportunity to own approximately 272.8 acres across three parcels of approximately 220.8, 50, and 2 acres. The property offers approximately 2,651 feet of road frontage along Gills Bridge Road and approximately 1,054 feet along Harper Bridge Road, measured along the road centerlines, along with an estimated 2,500 feet along the centerline of the Nottoway River. A paved drive leads into this expansive property featuring agricultural land, recreational acreage, a stocked pond, and Nottoway River frontage. Once part of Harper’s Plantation, the property includes historic quarters dating to the 1800s, most recently used as a hunting and fishing cabin. Additional structures include a two-story house, two tobacco barns, a large barn, and a manufactured building formerly used as an office and shop for a recreational mining operation. A recreational mining company operated on portions of the property through 2025, and flumes and a catch pond remain. Garnet, amethyst, diamond, silver topaz, aquamarine, potassium feldspar (peach moonstone), and several varieties of mica have reportedly been found on the property. Outdoor and recreational features include a stocked pond of more than five acres with bass, catfish, and blue gill, along with opportunities for hunting and fishing. Approximately 28 acres are currently leased as farmland, and portions of the property were timbered in 2020. The property is served by two wells and septic systems. One well is a deep well installed approximately five to six years ago, with the pump replaced approximately one year ago. Electrical service is available at the office/shop area, two-story house, and historic cabin. With substantial acreage, river frontage, agricultural use, recreational opportunities, multiple existing structures, and a unique history, this is a distinctive property with a wide range of possibilities. All structures and improvements convey “as-is.”
