FSBO - One of a Kind Virginia Riverfront Cabin & Grist Mill!

Asking $219K


A riverfront cabin on the Meherrin River between Lawrenceville, Virginia and Lake Gaston.  Approximately 20 miles North of Lake Gaston, 20 miles West of Emporia, VA, 20 miles East of South Hill, VA, 70 miles South of Richmond, 90 miles from Raleigh, and 100 miles West of Hampton Roads/Norfolk, VA.  With Lake Gaston's nearby recreational opportunities and the booming economic development of Roanoke Rapids, this one-of-a-kind property is postured to only increase in value.  This estate includes a turn of the century Grist Mill and 1000 feet of scenic riverfront property and is bordered by the oldest iron bridge in Brunswick County.  It is a square cut log cabin with loads of charm and unique history -- It is on the last eight waterfront acres of what used to be the Historic South Brunswick Plantation, formerly owned by the Welch Family of Welch's Jellies and Jams.
