About this home

Discover this sprawling 229-acre outdoorsman's paradise, conveniently located just off the I-95 corridor in Greensville County, Virginia. Offering a rare blend of recreation, investment, and residential potential, this expansive property consists of two adjoining tracts—tax map 55-36 (227 acres) and tax map 55-5A (2 acres)—presenting an excellent opportunity to submit a boundary line adjustment to expand the smaller parcel. The timber has been harvested and replanted, featuring new-growth pines ranging from 1 to 7 years in age. This setup offers great character with a beautiful mix of flat and rolling terrain. Water features and wildlife opportunities abound on this large parcel. Multiple established food plots are already strategically located across the property, ideal for attracting trophy whitetail deer. Tucked away at the rear of the property are two ponds that offer potential for waterfowl hunting. Additionally, Beaverpond Creek borders a portion of the southern boundary line, providing approximately 2,500 feet of serene creek frontage for extra waterfront enjoyment. Access and commuting are exceptional. Positioned perfectly for commuters, the property is just 15 minutes from Emporia, 75 minutes from Richmond, and 90 minutes from both Norfolk and Raleigh. The I-95 corridor between Richmond and Raleigh is considered to be an undervalued part of the path of progress in the Mid-Atlantic region. This property holds excellent investment potential as it is located centrally between these two rapidly expanding urban areas. Soil maps indicate areas of well-draining soils across this extensive acreage, making it ready for you to design and build your ultimate dream home, hunting lodge, or weekend retreat!

Our read on this home

by Tom & Dariya Milan, REALTORS® · LPT Realty

At a glance

229 AC Moores Ferry Road is a land and farms parcel in Emporia, Virginia — raw acreage in a quiet rural corridor of Greensville County where open skies, working land, and genuine breathing room define the character of the area.

Read the full overview ↓

Why this home stands out

What sets this parcel apart is the combination of a named rural road address, Greensville County jurisdiction, and the kind of elbow room that simply does not exist closer to Hampton Roads. Whether you're envisioning a homestead, a working farm, or a private retreat, the land itself is the canvas — and Emporia gives you the infrastructure of a small city without crowding the countryside around it.

ALL OTHERS AREA 72 and the Emporia real estate market

Emporia sits at the crossroads of US-58 and I-95 in Greensville County, making it one of the most accessible rural cities in southern Virginia. The city punches above its size: a full-service hospital, national retailers, local diners, and a historic downtown core all serve a community that takes pride in its agricultural roots and tight-knit character. AC Moores Ferry Road runs through a stretch of Greensville County where farms and forested tracts still define the landscape — the kind of setting where your nearest neighbor might be a field away and the night sky actually gets dark. For buyers comparing land and farms properties in this region, Emporia offers a rare balance: genuine rural character with real-world convenience just a short drive away.

What's nearby

Day-to-day needs are covered without a long haul. Emporia's US-58 corridor puts groceries, pharmacies, and fuel within a quick drive of AC Moores Ferry Road. Greensville-Emporia Regional Airport sits just outside the city for general aviation access. The Meherrin River corridor nearby draws anglers and paddlers, and Lake Gaston is roughly 45 minutes west for boating and recreation. I-95 access means Richmond is about 75 minutes north and the Outer Banks are reachable to the southeast — solid range for a property that otherwise feels a world away from traffic.

For different buyers

For first-time buyers

If you've been priced out of larger lots closer to the coast, land in Greensville County opens a different door. A parcel on AC Moores Ferry Road lets first-time land buyers start with a clean slate — no existing structure to inherit, no HOA dictating your plans. Build on your timeline, in your way, at a pace that works for your budget and your vision.

For buyers drawn to character

Some buyers aren't looking for a house — they're looking for land that means something. A farm parcel on AC Moores Ferry Road in Emporia speaks to people who want to grow something, steward something, or simply own a piece of Virginia's rural heritage. Greensville County's agricultural tradition runs deep, and this road sits right in the middle of it.
