The DOLITTLE PLANTATION HOMEPLACE, circa 1860, is featured in the book, Old Home and Buildings Of Amelia County, Virginia, Volume II (by Gibson Jefferson McConnaughey), According to the book, this property was once part of a 1,406-acre tract that was once owned by John Banister Tabb (March 22, 1845 - November 19, 1909) an American poet, Roman Catholic priest, and professor of English. The tract was descended to Tabb's grandson, who then sold it to the Reuben Blanton Family. His descendants, and several other notable families in the area, including the Ephraim Anderson Family once enjoyed ownership of the property where this antebellum home is located. Now on nearly 24 acres, and family-split dividable in accordance with Amelia County Ordinances, Dolittle still stands strong and is ready for its next chapter as an impressive horse/cattle farm, a relaxing country retreat, or a glorious wedding venue. Because it is not a registered historic landmark, there are no historic home restrictions. Home was partially renovated some years ago with new roof, vinyl siding (insulation behind siding,) vinyl windows, kitchen cabinets and such. Upstairs is not being used, but has partially been roughed-in for a bathroom. Seller will make no repairs; hence is selling AS-IS. The scarcity of a property like this presents a unique opportunity that may not come around again for years. It's in a desirable area, is of Colonial Williamsburg design with a full hip roof, and with its history, it's a one-of-a-kind property. Don't wait! Real estate is limited"”once a property is sold, it may not be available again for a long time, if ever.
