Long Grass Plantation, Greek Revival plantation in Mecklenburg County, Virginia.
The mansion features an H-shaped layout with a two-story main section, complemented by preserved outbuildings including a smokehouse, icehouse, and schoolhouse.
Built around 1800 by George Tarry, the estate originally encompassed 2000 acres before the creation of Buggs Island Lake submerged most of the land.
The plantation complex demonstrates the architectural evolution of Southern estates through multiple expansions by builder Jacob W. Holt between 1832 and 1857.
Only 27 acres of the original property remain above water, with the grounds now managed between private ownership and the US Army Corps of Engineers.
The property contains special walnut trees planted to mark the births of George Patrick Tarry's children, with two of the original three trees still standing.
