Welcome to the Courthouse Thirty-One! With over 570 feet of road frontage as well as a 50' access easement to the homesite, this 31.50-acre parcel is well suited for your custom home and a large slice of recreational heaven. At the homesite, a recent soil evaluation shows soils are suitable for a conventional septic system. The 2025 clear cut timber harvest coupled with the large swath of remaining timber creates the diversity, edge, and habitat that gamekeeper dreams are made of. Over 2,500 feet of trails have recently been pushed giving you access to slip out in front of that ol' tom turkey this spring and those elusive whitetails this fall.

When colonists arrived from England in 1607, some traveled along the Nottoway River. But when they established the first counties in the colony, James City County included both sides of the James River to the North Carolina line. The south side of the James River later was organized as Surry County in 1652. Virginia's General Assembly formed Sussex County in 1754 from the southwestern end of Surry County.
