Powhatan offers a variety of housing choices. Revolutionary War period homes, farmhouses, as well as more modern homes in new subdivisions are just a few of the housing options. Prices range from just under $200,000 to well over $1 million, with lot sizes ranging from two to ten acres. A Comprehensive Land Use Plan specifies a five-acre lot average and a two-acre lot minimum throughout most of the county. Smaller lot sizes are permitted in the Village of Powhatan within walking distance of local shops and restaurants. Also in the Village is a new housing development called Scottville at Powhatan Courthouse. For active adults 55 and up, Scottville offers maintenance free homes and easy living.
