6908 S ROXBURY MILL ROAD

SPOTSYLVANIA, VA 22551

Investment Opportunity: Historic Roxbury Mill Estate with Diverse Commercial Potential in Thriving Tourism Zone Seize a unique commercial investment at 6908 S Roxbury Mill Rd, strategically located within a key tourism zone, notably near the new Kalahari project. This historic property offers unparalleled possibilities for hospitality, events, or renewable energy. Established in 1723 with the original grist mill (built by Beverley Stanard, possibly "Stanard Mill"), this site was part of the expansive 2,000-acre "Roxbury Plantation." The main residence also dates to circa 1723, providing a deep historical foundation. Key Commercial Assets: Strategic Location: Benefit from placement in a designated tourism zone with proximity to major attractions like the new Kalahari project, ensuring high visibility and potential customer traffic. Expansive & Adaptable Space: The thoughtfully transformed mill and residential structures offer 4,775 sq ft across four floors, designed for flexible use. It accommodates up to six bedrooms with 5.5 baths, ideal for guest accommodations, private suites, or varied commercial layouts. Features include original historic elements. Proven Hospitality Venue: Operated successfully as a B&B, this property has a demonstrated track record in attracting guests. Its ample space and picturesque setting make it ideal for continued B&B operations, a high-demand event venue (weddings, retreats), or a distinctive restaurant/farm-to-table establishment. Renewable Energy Potential: A significant asset is the documented hydroelectric power potential (100kw-30,000kw) from the active millrace and original dam, as confirmed by a 1981 U.S. Dept. of Energy study. This offers a unique opportunity for sustainable operations or additional revenue streams. Historical & Experiential Appeal: Beyond its operational flexibility, the property boasts rich history, including its connection to the Civil War (Po River engagements investigated by expert Noel Harrison) and a historic Stanard family graveyard. This authentic heritage provides a compelling draw for visitors and patrons. Generous Acreage & Natural Features: Situated on 3.69 acres with the picturesque Po River flowing through it (offering excellent fishing), the property provides a serene backdrop suitable for diverse commercial endeavors. A 1993 archaeological survey highlights its historical depth and potential for further discovery. Investment Considerations: Septic system will require upgrade/update depending on future commercial use. This is a rare opportunity to acquire a versatile property steeped in American history, strategically located, and offering significant potential for a unique commercial venture.
