Totomoi, Historic plantation in Hanover County, United States.
Totomoi is a brick plantation house in Hanover County featuring original side porches with scalloped details and a two-level entrance porch. Two prominent chimneys frame the rear of the structure, which was expanded with single-story wings over several decades.
The main brick house was built in 1800 and received additions in the early and mid-1800s. These construction phases reflect how the property expanded during the first half of the 19th century.
The estate carries a name rooted in indigenous history, referring to a 17th-century Pamunkey leader. This connection links the plantation to the region's earliest inhabitants and their lasting presence in the area.
The property spans 544 acres near Studley on Rural Point Road. It sits less than 15 miles from Richmond's State Capitol, making it accessible for day trips from the area.
The grounds include a traditional smokehouse, slave dwelling, tenant house, and barns from different periods. These structures offer insights into daily life and the operations that supported the main residence.
