797 Burgess Rd, Madison Heights, VA 24572
About this home
Welcome to River Life! A one-of-a-kind property on the James River, 25 minutes from Lynchburg, VA. This one bedroom, one bath cabin has lots of charm. With a sloping yard that goes right to the river, you are only steps away from your own dock on the beautiful James. New stove and refrigerator. New mini-split heating and air conditioning. Washer/dryer hookups. Large living room with fireplace and great views of the river. Basement room is about 28' x 15' and has several windows toward the river, but those windows can be removed to open up a whole wall of windows. A new well (shared with a neighbor) provides water, and a septic tank is also shared. Skylights make the whole house quite light.
