Description: This 15 Acre property is located in Gloucester near the Eastern Shore.  This sizable lot is wooded and conveniently located on level ground.  Here you are two miles away from Beaverdam Lake and short drive to Thousand Trails Chesapeake Bay.  This is a great opportunity to invest in a large tract of land, near water, without paying waterfront rates.

Gloucester County was Virginia’s political center when the first English colonists arrived in Jamestown in 1607.  It was here, on the banks of the York River, that Algonquin Chief Powhatan had his stronghold and favorite home.  During the colonial period, one of the first land patents in the county was issued to George Washington’s grandfather in 1650.  Many plantation homes remain in Gloucester and are open to the public during Historic Garden Week.

The history of Gloucester is one that is significant not only to Virginians, but to all Americans and to the founding of our nation. Soon after Jamestown was established in 1607, John Smith was captured by Native Americans and taken to Chief Powhatan’s village along the York River at Werowocomoco in Gloucester County.  According to legend, Smith was saved from execution by Powhatan’s daughter, Pocahontas during his confinement at the village. During the Revolutionary War, Continental forces stationed at Gloucester point played a significant role in George Washington’s victory at Yorktown on October 19, 1781. Gloucester is also the site of many historical homes including Warner Hall, George Washington’s grandmother’s home, Rosewell Plantation on the York River where Thomas Jefferson composed much of his early work for colonial independence, historic Abingdon Church where both presidents Washington and Jefferson attended services, and the birthplace of Dr. Walter Reed, conqueror of yellow fever during the building of the Panama Canal.

As the years have passed, Gloucester has maintained a strong connection with its rich heritage. The old-town district on Main Street has been carefully preserved with several historic 18th-century buildings surrounding the village green, and a variety of quaint antique shops, restaurants and specialty stores. Gloucester is also known for its outdoor festivals, such as the Daffodil Parade and Festival held each April to celebrate the history of this hardy flower originally transplanted by early English settlers in the 17th century.

In recent years, exciting new growth has taken place in the Gloucester business arena with a wave of commercial real estate development including shopping centers, stores, and restaurants on the Route 17 business corridor. Along the waterfront, aging seafood piers and wharfs, once the home of the legendary Chesapeake Bay Watermen, have been revitalized with modern marinas, waterfront homes, and public recreational facilities. Further inland, many large farms still remain, while others have been divided to provide large acreage single family homes, residential communities, and horse farms.  In spite of this modern progress, Gloucester maintains a small town feeling, its streets seem uncrowded, and its pace unhurried. The culture can be said to be centered on the resources of this spectacular Chesapeake Bay region. Its natural beauty captures residents and visitors alike.

Description: This 1.44 Acre property is located Near Lake Anna in Spotsylvania County.  It features double county road access and is situated on level ground, making for a great investment or weekend retreat.  It is a wooded lot well suited for development, with plenty of privacy. 

Lake Anna State Park is less than three miles from the property.  This is a great opportunity for picnics, boating, fishing, rock climbing, hiking, biking and seasonal swimming with bathhouse and lifeguard at a sandy beach.  The park is 2,304 acres with 8.5 miles of lake frontage and 13 miles of hiking among the gently rolling forested lands.  In 2001, Lake Anna took top honors with a gold medal from the National Sporting Goods Association and National Recreation and Parks Association for the number one system of state parks in the nation.

One of Virginia’s fastest growing counties, Spotsylvania  contains a mix of beautiful rural landscape alongside an energetic, growing community.  This is largely due to its desirable location along Interstate 95, midway between metropolitan Washington and Richmond.  Known as the “Crossroads of the Civil War, Spotsylvania County is rich in historical resources.

At the dawn of European settlement of the “New World,” the Spotsylvania area’s historic past began with a skirmish near the Rappahannock River between American Indians and a group led by the famous explorer Capt. John Smith, renowned in legend and literature as the husband of the Indian Princess and heroine Pocahontas.

Spotsylvania’s colonial roots commence in 1721, when the then-British Colony of Virginia created a vast new county that stretched past the Blue Ridge Mountains by seceding parts of Essex, King and Queen, and King William counties. The independent City of Fredericksburg was formed from Spotsylvania County territory in 1728. Other historic attractions within the county include the first commercially successful ironworks in North America; a slave revolt attempted in the 1810s; and one of the nation’s most productive pre-1849 gold mines.

Spotsylvania County, named after Gov. Alexander Spotswood, a pre-Revolutionary British governor of the colony of Virginia, is a great place to live, work, play and shop!
