This is a great farm opportunity for country living and for your custom home. It can make a great weekend getaway for family and friend recreation such as hunting, shooting, camping, 4 wheeling. Lots of hunting opportunities with a lot of terrain edges where deer like to move. The bucks are moving in the bottoms tearing up the trees already! Turkey are here as well! Lots of timber and croplands in the area. Great investment also with 15 acres of cropland in fallow this year, but still qualifies for land use program if planted in 2021. Start collecting farm rent and more than pay the taxes. The owner says the old home site has a deep well on it and soil maps show well drained soil. Set your custom home or cabin just off the road, or go back into the privacy of one of the back fields. The trees are about 20 years old which means you can just take a stroll through much of the wooded areas. Lots of road frontage. Only about 20 minutes to Petersburg, another 20 to Richmond. The land has a little roll to it and woods-land and crop fields are woven together nicely for added character.

Dinwiddie County was formed May 1, 1752, from Prince George County. The county is named for Robert Dinwiddie, Lieutenant Governor of Virginia, 175158. The county raised several militia units that would fight in the American Revolution.

Dinwiddie County was the birthplace of Elizabeth (Burwell) Hobbs Keckly, a free black dressmaker who worked for two presidents' wives: Mrs. Jefferson Davis and later Mary Todd Lincoln. Thomas Day was also a native; he was well known later at Milton, North Carolina, as a free black cabinetmaker. Another native son was Dr. Thomas Stewart, perhaps America's first free black 18th-century rural physician.[3]

During the Civil War the Battle of Lewis's Farm was fought along Quaker Road [Rt. 660]. It took place on March 29, 1865. This was the first in several attempts by Union General Ulysses S. Grant to cut Robert E. Lee's final supply linethe Southside Railroadin the spring of 1865. Here the Union forces led by Brig. Gen. Joshua L. Chamberlain engaged Confederates under Maj. Gen. Bushrod R. Johnson. After sharp fighting, the Union troops entrenched nearby along the Boydton Plank Road, and Johnson withdrew to his lines at White Oak Road. The Union army cut the rail line four days later, after capturing Five Forks on April 1, 1865, at the Battle of Five Forks. Several other engagements were fought in Dinwiddie County, including the Battle of Dinwiddie Court House, Battle of Sutherland's Station, and Battle of White Oak Road.
