Located just before the confluence of the Jackson and Cowpasture Rivers, where the James River begins, this rare riverfront property offers over 400 feet of pristine frontage on one of Virginia's most storied waterways. Whether you're kayaking, canoeing, or casting for trophy musky, this stretch of river is an angler and paddler's paradise. Thoughtfully designed for easy river access, the property features a set of steps leading to the water and a floating dock, perfect for fishing, swimming, or simply relaxing. After a day on the water, retreat to the comfort of the shaded picnic shelter or cool off in the above-ground pool. The large, level lot is both build-ready and versatile, with multiple potential homesites to choose from. 2-wells, septic, electric, and fiber optic internet.
