Brandon Plantation

The two-story Greek Revival mansion features symmetrical wings, detailed cornices, and multiple chimneys rising from its standing-seam metal roof.

The 4,500-acre estate originated from a 7,000-acre land grant to Captain John Martin in 1616, making it one of Virginia's earliest colonial settlements.

The plantation house contains interior woodwork and architectural elements that demonstrate the evolution of Federal design principles in Virginia during the 1800s.

Visitors can observe the mansion from the public right-of-way on Route 10, while the property maintains active agricultural production of wheat and soybeans.

The property represents continuous agricultural operations since the mid-17th century, with current farming activities spanning 1,600 acres of cultivated fields.
