Welcome to Ca Ira Mills, a gorgeous property with over 87 acres of stunning land with more than 1.5 miles of riverfront along the Willis River. Ca Ira is steeped in history - first developed in the late 1700s, with a rich legacy that includes a mill, trading post, church, and post office. Over the years, this property was the hub for trading up and down the Willis River to the James River, utilizing a hand dug canal that runs through this very property - much of the historical remnants of this past still remain. The original trading post, just up the hill from the old mill, has been partially renovated, providing a unique opportunity to restore it further and preserve its historical charm. It includes new siding which was milled using trees from this property, as well as new windows. The outer shell is restored, the inside is ready for your touch. There is a well with a newer well pump, but has not been in use by the current owners. Electricity is also at the front of the property - Dominion will connect it whenever the next owner is ready.
This land is an outdoor enthusiast's dream. With opportunities for fishing, camping, shooting, or hunting, there is plenty of room to create your ideal retreat. Deer and turkey are plentiful! Enjoy the open pastures and scenic trails that wind through the property. There are multiple potential homesites with river views, giving you a chance to create your dream home in a picturesque setting. Even more, the Cumberland State Forest is just 5 minutes away!
For added convenience, a new 20'x30' enclosed storage shed has been recently added to the property, providing ample space for equipment or storage. You’ll also find a stone chimney from a previous building site, perfect for hosting outdoor fires and cookouts.
Whether you’re seeking a land investment, a renovation opportunity, buildable space, or simply a place to enjoy the outdoors, Ca Ira Mills offers something for everyone. Don’t miss the chance to own this extraordinary piece of history.
