As early as the mid 18th century Scottsville was the largest port town on the James River which was the most active trade route serving Virginia’s vibrant farm economy. Today one can enjoy a much quieter small town with pride in its heritage and a charming Main Street with boutique shops and eateries. Located just 30 minutes south of Charlottesville and the University of Virginia, Scottsville has become popular for its slower pace, bucolic surroundings and some exceptional country properties and estates that have flourished over the centuries due to the particularly fertile soils found in southern Albemarle County.
Summer is a great time to visit Scottsville on the James River and enjoy this classic river town. You may wish to take a look at some real estate while you’re here. Here are some listings in and around Scottsville.
