This 20.76-acre parcel in Essex County offers an excellent opportunity for residential, recreational, or investment use in a peaceful rural setting. The property is located 15 miles northwest of Tappahannock and 20 miles southeast of Bowling Green. Bowling Green is the county seat for Caroline County and offers restaurants, shops, a grocery store, and the courthouse. Access is provided by a shared, gravel 50’ deeded easement from Bull Neck Road (Rt. 630). There is no road maintenance agreement in place. The front agricultural field is flat and transitions into rolling hardwoods as the land slopes toward Croxton Creek. The southern property line lies within the creek and swamp, creating excellent habitat for waterfowl and wildlife. Approximately 50 wood ducks and mallards were observed on 11/16/25. The front portion of the tract includes about 9 acres of tillable land, suitable for a homesite, pasture, or potential income from farming activities. The remaining acreage consists of mixed hardwoods, including white oak and poplar, providing mast for wildlife and several potential stand locations. The property’s diverse landscape offers opportunities for hunting, recreation, and small-scale farming. With open land near the entrance and woods and water features in the back, this parcel provides multiple options for building, outdoor use, or long-term investment. Additional recreation is available nearby at the Mattaponi WMA, Robert W. Duncan WMA, and the Rappahannock River. The location is convenient to Bowling Green (25 minutes), Richmond (50 minutes), and Fredericksburg (55 minutes), making it an ideal rural retreat or future homesite with reasonable access to larger towns and employment centers. Survey is included in the attachments. No soil work has been completed, but the adjoining agricultural lot had a conventional septic approval in May 2025. Property is not in Land Use.

This spacious and captivating Essex County Historic Treasure features 12'-3" ceilings on the first floor. According to the 1940 edition of the Essex County Green Book, Woodbourne, located in Upper Essex County, was originally built around 1840 by William Brooke of Brookes Bank. The original home was of stately proportions with 12 spacious rooms, an observatory on the roof, and four tall chimneys. Sadly, the original house burned in 1928. A circa 1930 house was built upon the original basement and foundation, with the original chimneys salvaged and utilized in the construction of the 1930 house. An absolutely fabulous and serendipitous columned front Portico / Porch circa 1930, incorporates the broken marble mantles from the original Woodbourne. It is a truly striking feature of the property, which pays homage to the original Woodbourne. One of the most interesting interior features of this handsome home is the grand entrance hall, which leads to an arched opening and a center hall, extending through the length of the first floor, with its soaring 12'+' tall ceilings throughout! 9' ceilings on the 2nd Floor. Original and operational windows were restored (complete with chains and pullies) as well as several transoms and other architectural elements. Beautiful floors. Exterior siding is Cypress Shingle and Cypress Clapboard. Modern amenities include updated plumbing, wiring, laundry room, spacious full baths, and loads of storage space. Towering Ancient Magnolias and other ancient trees abound. Circular driveway is paved in addition to other parking areas behind the house up to the 1,350+ square foot Morton Metal Building, which can be utilized as a garage, equipment storage, or workshop. Although this property needs some cosmetic tlc, the offering of this very special property presents the opportunity to take this unique historic treasure to the next level. Ideally located off of U.S. 17 between Tappahannock and Port Royal. A must see historic treasure!
