Discover this gorgeous parcel of land ideally positioned at the corner of Willson Road and South Laburnum Avenue, just outside the Richmond City limits in Henrico County. With its strategic location and natural beauty, this property presents a rare combination of development potential and scenic tranquility. At the time of listing, the property is eligible for multiple incentive programs, including Opportunity Zone, NMTC, BEA, CDFI, and ERP—making it an outstanding option for investors, developers, or visionaries seeking to maximize both impact and return. Only 1 mile from the Capital Trail, less than 3 miles to the Richmond City line, and ½ mile from the upcoming Arcadia neighborhood by East West Communities, this site sits at the heart of a rapidly evolving growth corridor. Bound by mature trees and two natural creeks, the property features a raised central area historically used for farming, offering a beautiful canvas for a secluded residential community, an equestrian / farm estate, or a boutique development project. Whether you envision a signature residential project, a private estate, or a sustainable community development, this parcel is poised for transformation—offering location and natural character rarely found together! A conceptual study plan showing a 75-townhome layout based on the future land use designation is shown, but no zoning changes or development plans have been approved. The final plan and use can be shaped by the purchaser. The seller prefers a quick close, but is open to creative arrangements, including owner financing or even a potential development partnership with the right buyer. Please note that nothing in this listing is a promise or guarantee from the Seller or Broker of future performance, approvals, or development potential. Buyer is solely responsible for confirming all details, including zoning, utilities, permitted uses, and any potential incentives or development opportunities.
