A summer day with low water at the beach, on the North Side of the Appomattox
River. For more information please click the picture above.
Presenting 37.5 acres of Appomattox riverfront and island real estate, with exclusive
private access to 1.3 miles of river bank waterfront. Breathtaking scenery, with a
rich history from the Indians through the Civil War, to picturesque ruins today. The
walking paths throughout the property offer abundant wildlife viewing and birding
opportunities, and the best fishing and white water on the river.

Looking upstream on the Appomattox
River from Campbell's Bridge (Virginia
Route 36). Chesterfield County is on the
right, where the stone and brick ruins of
the North Side Mills are visible on the
bedrock outcrop. Click the photo for more.
The North Side Mills parcel (19 acres) in Ettrick (5 minutes from Route 95) comes
with commercial and residential high land overlooking 3200 feet of spectacular
scenic and historic river waterfront. The commercially zoned section next to
Campbell's Bridge has unparalleled visibility and importance as the entrance to and
first impression of Southern Chesterfield County.

The Battersea Manufacturing Co. Parcel on the south side of the river in Petersburg
begins about a half mile upstream from Campbell's Bridge, just above the North
Side Mills dam. It extends upstream (west) for about 3/4 of a mile with
4200 feet of riverfront, and consists of Mill Site, a long strip of land along the river,
the dam, and part of an island. This 11.5 acres tract is ideally suited for a waterfront
park, perhaps connected to a developed adjacent parcel.    

Also available are all the islands (about 7 acres) from Campbell's bridge for about a
mile upstream, including Piney, Broken, and Long Islands.

The Appomattox river is 137 miles long. 6 miles, starting with this property and
extending upstream, were designated a Virginia State Scenic River for outstanding
scenery, history, geologic and natural features and white water rapids.
