Discover a unique opportunity to own a piece of Virginia's historic and picturesque Middlesex County. Located at the eastern end of Virginia's Middle Peninsula, Middlesex County is bordered by the Rappahannock River to the north, the Chesapeake Bay to the east, and the Piankatank River and Dragon Run Swamp to the southwest. This area offers a serene rural charm, a rich history, and a thriving community—Middlesex County's storied past dates back to 1640. The largest town, Urbanna, remains the county's commercial hub. The Village of Saluda now hosts the county seat of government. To the east, Deltaville, once a wooden boat-building center, continues to be a commercial and recreational focal point, with marinas stretching to Stingray Point. Despite its rural character, Middlesex County is easily accessible from Richmond and Hampton Roads. The area’s appeal as a desirable living space has grown, attracting those seeking vacation and retirement homes and a rising number of commuters to Richmond, Williamsburg, and Tidewater employment centers. The property is zoned LDR (Low-Density Rural), aligning with the county's Comprehensive Plan to maintain its rural character. This zoning supports a mix of agriculture, forestry, residential, recreational, and selected non-intensive commercial uses, promoting a quiet, peaceful living environment. Cluster development is encouraged to protect land values and prevent landlocking. Middlesex County's scenic beauty and proximity to water bodies have made it a hotspot for recreational boating, tourism, and residential construction. The local economy is expanding, emphasizing recreation and tourism and providing employment opportunities. Ongoing infrastructure improvements, such as bridges and highways, will further enhance accessibility, making this an attractive location for new development. Embrace the opportunity to invest in Middlesex County, where history, rural charm, and modern conveniences converge to create a unique and desirable living environment.
