Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This for-sale multifamily property includes multiple structures totaling approximately 3,393 square feet on a 5.47-acre lot. The main building is a former tobacco barn converted into a two-bedroom cottage with a covered front porch, a living room, a kitchen, a 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, which can support rental income, multigenerational living, or guest accommodations.

The property is located on Sandy Beach Road in South Boston, Virginia, and sits just minutes from the Philpott Road industrial corridor. The overall setting includes a historic structure connected to the legacy of Irvine's Ferry on the Dan River, dating back to the early 1800s.

In addition to the two residential units, the historic building is described as ready for restoration and features original heart pine floors, classic 9-over-9 windows, and soaring 12-foot ceilings on the main level. Depending on how it is brought back, it could be restored for additional living or repurposed for uses such as a workshop, studio, storage, or hobby space. The site’s combination of established residences and an additional restoration-focused structure offers adaptable options for owners seeking multiple-use flexibility.
