Land with Home for Sale in South Boston, Virginia
1247 Sandy Beach Rd, South Boston, VA 24592
Located on Sandy Beach Road just minutes from the Philpott Road industrial corridor, this unique property offers a rare combination of history, charm, and versatility. A former tobacco barn has been thoughtfully converted into a cozy two-bedroom cottage featuring a covered front porch, comfortable living room, kitchen, full bath, and two upstairs bedrooms. A detached, restored cottage provides additional living space with a kitchen, one bedroom, two bathrooms, and a daylight basement-ideal for rental income, multigenerational living, or guest accommodations. Adding to the property's distinctive appeal is a historic structure connected to the legacy of Irvine's Ferry on the Dan River. Dating back to the early 1800s, this remarkable building is ready for restoration and showcases original heart pine floors, classic 9-over-9 windows, and soaring 12-foot ceilings on the main level. Whether restored to its former grandeur or repurposed as a workshop, studio, storage facility, or hobby space, the possibilities are endless. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of Virginia history while enjoying the flexibility of multiple residences and income-producing potential.
