The OpportunityHere is a chance to own a signalized, high-visibility corner parcel in one of Central Virginia's fastest-growing suburban corridors � and to do it entirely on your terms. Whether you're a developer ready to break ground, an investor looking for a land-banking play with rental income to cover carrying costs, or a business owner searching for the perfect long-term location, 2500 Maidens Road delivers on every front.Situated on 13.9� acres at the signalized intersection of Route 60 (Anderson Highway) and Route 522 (Maidens Road) in Powhatan County, this property offers corner frontage on both roads, an estimated 25,000�35,000 vehicles per day in daily traffic exposure, and rapid access to Route 288, I-64, and I-95. The location is simply irreplaceable.  Three Ways to Win with This Property1. Develop It CommerciallyThe property is zoned R-C (Residential-Commercial), a transition district that permits a broad range of commercial uses by right � including restaurants with or without drive-through, retail shops, grocery stores, gas stations, banks, professional offices, veterinary clinics, convenience stores, and much more. Conditional uses available with a CUP expand the possibilities further to include hotels and motels, medical or dental clinics, multifamily residential, bars and lounges, and commercial outdoor recreation.Powhatan County's own Comprehensive Plan envisions R-C parcels transitioning into more intensive commercial or planned development districts over time � making this an ideal candidate for rezoning to unlock its full development value. With two-road frontage on signalized arterials, high daily traffic counts, and direct proximity to regional highway infrastructure, this corner is a natural home for a neighborhood retail center, professional office campus, medical or service facility, or a mixed-use development pairing commercial frontage with residential density behind it.2. Hold It as a Rental InvestmentThe existing improvements include a 1,680 sq ft brick residence with 3 bedrooms and 1.5 baths, a full basement (840 sq ft finished, 840 sq ft unfinished), two enclosed porches, a brick garage, a patio, and a metal storage shed. Built in 1956 on a concrete block foundation with plaster walls, wood floors, and brick exterior, the home is leasable as-is. Put a tenant in place, collect rent, and let that income offset carrying costs while you work through county approvals, plan your development program, or simply wait for the right moment. The 2025 property tax is just $2,954 � a low annual cost for a parcel of this caliber.3. Buy and Hold � Land Bank for the FutureSignalized corner acreage at the intersection of two state routes doesn't sit still in value. Powhatan County is growing steadily as Richmond's western suburbs continue to expand, and this parcel is directly in the path of that growth. Acquire it now, generate rental income to carry it, and develop or sell when market conditions and timing align. The 2025 assessed value is $393,800, with a current AVM estimate of $419,900 � but the real value here is the long-term commercial story a corner like this tells.Location HighlightsSignalized corner at Route 60 (Anderson Highway) and Route 522 (Maidens Road) in Powhatan, Virginia, with an estimated 25,000�35,000 vehicles per day per VDOT corridor studies.
