Gravel Hill

Midlothian, Virginia

$1,700,000

A rare opportunity to own Gravel Hill, a timeless estate on 9.8 agriculturally zoned acres tucked away on a quiet country lane, yet only minutes from shopping, dining, top-rated schools & highway access. Steeped in history, the home was built in approximately 1906 as a wedding gift. The current owners began a meticulous restoration in 1998, thoughtfully blending the home’s historic character with modern luxuries. The grounds feature a stocked pond with bass and brim for fishing, a salt water pool, organic garden and 3 fenced pastures – an ideal property for equestrian buyers.

I was blown away when I learned about MakeMyMove!

Have you ever looked at one of these houses and thought, “Okay, but how would I actually move there!?”

Did you know that cities and towns of all sizes are launching amazing incentive programs in order to attract talent and grow their local workforce?

MakeMymove connects YOU with these incentive programs. There are options in Indiana, Kentucky, Arkansas, Kansas, Georgia and more coming online regularly (a few in areas featured in this very newsletter!).

In addition to cash, communities are offering things like free co-working space, gym memberships, potluck welcome dinners, coffee with the mayor, free summer camp for kids, and continued education opportunities at local universities. Most of the communities are recruiting remote workers, but some are starting to offer incentives for those who accept local positions.

There’s an AWESOME customer care team at MakeMyMove and in the local communities that really help people get connected to the community before the move - to help with house hunting, evaluating schools, and getting connected to any other services.
