Rio James Waterfront

Can you say nature please?

This unique property consists of 16 park-like acres bordering a quiet section of the James River. It's great to float, fish or walk the shore line, taking in the sights. You can access the water using the private, gravel boat ramp. A disappearing spring in the front yard is home to sun fish and perch that are fun for the most impatient fisherman. They can be caught year round using a float and small baits (great for kids). If not a fisherman, you can feed them with food located in the garage. The spring reappears near the river providing a good place to relax, cool off, and fish.
