Some properties hold a story worth telling — Ca Ira Mills is one of them.
First established in the late 1700s, this remarkable 87-acre parcel along the Willis River once served as the heartbeat of a thriving community, complete with a mill, trading post, church, and post office. A hand-dug canal — still winding through the property today — once connected local trade all the way to the James River. The echoes of that legacy are still here, waiting for the right steward to carry them forward.
The partially restored original trading post offers a rare chance to breathe new life into history. New siding, milled from trees right on the property, and updated windows give the shell a fresh start — the inside is yours to shape. A well with a newer pump and electricity at the front of the property mean the groundwork is already laid.
Beyond the history, this land is pure possibility. Over 1.5 miles of riverfront, open pastures, scenic trails, and abundant deer and turkey make it an outdoor enthusiast's paradise. Breathtaking river views, and Cumberland State Forest is just five minutes away. A new 20'x30' enclosed storage shed and a charming stone chimney — perfect for gathering around a fire — round out this one-of-a-kind offering.
Whether you're dreaming of a private retreat, a forever home, or a meaningful land investment, Ca Ira Mills is ready for its next chapter.
