Imagine waking up every morning to this remarkable property, located less than 50 minutes from Richmond. Approximately 275 acres of rolling ridges, established food plots with box blinds, and nearly 1,000 yards of frontage along the James River await you. This shallow, smallmouth bass-filled section of the James River features a beautiful rock beach where you can spend the day relaxing and getting away from it all. The land has been extensively managed for mature whitetail deer. On early spring mornings as wild turkeys boom for miles around, you’ll quickly understand why this farm is known as Gobbler Knob West. Mature hardwoods within streamside management zones weave throughout the property, creating exceptional habitat while providing a unique opportunity to enhance the diversity that wildlife thrives on. An extensive internal road system provides easy access to every corner of the property. The land also offers the opportunity to build while preserving your investment through a perpetual Conservation Easement with the Virginia Outdoors Foundation. Don’t miss this rare opportunity to own an exceptional investment along a coveted stretch of the mighty James River—a property that will provide enjoyment for generations to come.

A-10
Agricultural-10
The purpose of the Agricultural-10 (A-10) District is to maintain the agrarian and low-density rural character of the county that optimizes economic use of the county's prime farmland and forest land resources and defines the countryside appearance and rural character of areas designated as rural preservation areas in the comprehensive plan. Specifically, the district is intended to accommodate and encourage agriculture, agri-business, agricultural and rural tourism, silviculture, and related uses and development. It is also intended to accommodate limited low-density single-family detached homes on lots of ten or more acres—primarily in the form of conservation subdivisions that conserve substantial open space and natural resources.
