PRICE REDUCED! Welcome to Mt. Rose, one of the most historic and beautiful properties in Central Virginia. Strategically located in Powhatan County, this is the site of the once-prominent Montrose Plantation. At one time, this nearly 540-acre property was part of the larger holdings of the brother of Captain John Smith. Extensive records can be shared upon request, but the Mt. Rose property and former estate is a historical landmark, with Pre-Revolutionary, Antebellum, and Civil War significance, and numerous noteworthy families that once called this property home. Not to mention, it is the site of one of the earliest Presbyterian churches in the country. Creeks, wetlands, rolling hills, and native trees combine to form what has been described by engineers, architects, hunters, and more as the prettiest piece of land in Powhatan County. With nearly ALL of its acreage in mature hardwood timber, the potential value of this property cannot be overstated. Almost 480 acres are covered in generational hardwoods, including red & white oak, poplar, hickory, beech & maple, with the balance in planted loblolly pine. Mt. Rose is a hunting paradise, teeming with whitetail deer, bears, turkeys, bobcats, and red foxes. Through decades of maintenance, there are elaborate trails and road systems throughout, completely mapped out with existing food plots. In addition to world-class hunting, there are unlimited recreational options which include hiking, camping, ATV & off-roading, as well as silent sports. Directly across the road (State Rt. 627) is the 4000+ acre Powhatan Wildlife Management Area (PWMA). The PWMA is a state-owned preserve and cannot be developed. The nearly 540-acre contiguous parcel is not only the perfect site for conservation, but it inherently has major development potential with many different subdivision opportunities. There is almost 3/4 of a mile of state road frontage on Ridge Road and the property sits adjacent to Anderson Hwy (State Rt. 60). Just 5 minutes from the Powhatan Courthouse, roughly 15 miles to Interstate 288, and a 30-minute drive to downtown Richmond. Simply put, Mt. Rose is as versatile as it is rare, and a property that comes around only once in a lifetime.
