Food plots - excellent interior roads, you can drive a truck on them. Roads have been recently bush-hogged and food plots are planted. There is about 400 feet of public road frontage on Walnut Shade Road with an access point to a home or cabin sight. A conservation easement on the land will allow for a residential home up to 4500 square feet plus outbuildings. This is a turnkey, ready to HUNT NOW property! Turkey Hunt this land THIS season. The majority of the land is professionally planted 10-year-old pines. This asset will increase in value each year and provide future income for the new owner. A rolling topo with good hardwood bottoms for the game. There is partial ownership of two ponds for bass and bream fishing and one swamp on the south end of the property. Several great camping spots. There are sure to be some wood ducks and a few mallards on this property. You can manage the land for more ducks! The main game will be deer, turkey and rabbit. A sharable, interactive map is available at request. This land is convenient to Rt 17 and 301 - approximately 15 miles from Port Royal, VA - approx 35 miles from I-95 - about 80 miles from Washington DC - about 55 miles to Richmond, VA. The History of the County; Captain John Smith, one of the original tourists to the area, visited Essex during the winter of 1607-08, when he wrote of the "excellent, pleasant, fertile, and goodly navigable" Rappahannock Valley. In 1692, the now extinct Rappahannock County split into Essex and Richmond Counties. Still heavily influenced by British domain, the county name of Essex may have come either from the shire or county in England, or as a nod to the Duke of Essex himself (patrons are often generous!). Essex County Virginia today still maintains links with Essex County Council and the people of Chelmsford, Essex, England.
