Richmond County County is in Virginia. Whether you are a potential homeowner looking for a lot for sale or a builder or developer seeking land for sale for your next project, the perfect property for you may be found in the Commonwealth of Virginia. Virginia, the Old Dominion State, is located in the South Atlantic states. Its climate is largely influenced by the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Chesapeake Bay which divides the contiguous state from the Eastern Shore. The Atlantic Ocean influences the climate along the coast bringing more humid and warmer weather. The beautiful Shenandoah Valley offers pockets of microclimates and the mountainous areas bring a colder winter and snow. The northern part of the state borders Washington, DC and its suburbs have spilled over into Virginia with Fairfax, Arlington and Loudon counties growing yearly. Two of the more desired cities in the area are Arlington (a self governing county), the most populous, and Alexandria. These cities offer all the amenities associated with urban life. Nearby Loudon County is the state’s fastest growing county and was recently listed as the wealthiest U.S. county. Within an easy commute is rapidly growing Fredericksburg, VA. on the Rappahannock River. Moving south out of the busy D.C. suburbs we find the state capital, Richmond. Richmond is an historic city and was capital of the Confederacy during the Civil War. It is a socioeconomically and architecturally diverse city found at the fall line of the James River. Its location and government importance make it a transportation hub for rail, water and highway traffic. Richmond is home to Virginia Commonwealth University and the University of Richmond. It offers the amenities associated with an urban area such as varied dining, cultural venues featuring the Richmond Symphony and Richmond Ballet, NASCAR events, as well as a number of parks offering outdoor life.

Only 44 miles south of the capital is historic Williamsburg with its Colonial Williamsburg living museum. It is also home to the College of William and Mary.

Newport News sits on the north shore of the James River and spreads to Newport News Point at the mouth of the Hampton Roads Harbor. It has long been associated with shipbuilding and home to the joint Air Force-Army base, Joint Base Langley- Eustis.

It sits on the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway and has much protected acreage including parts of the Great Dismal Swamp.
