Land for Sale near Scottsville, Virginia

Scottsville sits on the James River in southern Albemarle County, a historic canal town that still feels more like rural Virginia than suburban Charlottesville. The James River frontage draws kayakers and fishermen, and land values drop noticeably south of the Route 20 corridor compared to northern Albemarle. Flooding is the tradeoff — the James has topped its banks here multiple times. PerfectPlace overlays FEMA flood zone boundaries on every parcel so you can find river-adjacent land without the flood insurance mandate.
