Pointe Realty Group offers a full range of Property Management services tailored to you as an investor, homeowner, or landlord. We have an extensive portfolio of Residential, Multi-family, & Commercial rental properties in Southside Virginia including South Hill, Boydton, Bracey, LaCrosse, & Clarksville just to name a few.
Boydton was founded in 1812 and is the original home of Randolph-Macon College, then very small, and which barely stayed in operation during the American Civil War as its focus abruptly changed from a Methodist seminary to military cadet training. In the difficult post-war Reconstruction years the trustees relocated the remote and struggling school to its present location in Ashland, Virginia, closer to railroad service.
Boydton/Clarksville was the terminus of the 19th-century "Boydton and Petersburg Plank Road" leading to Petersburg.
This 80-mile (130-km) Plank road was covered with wooden planks, making it superior to other roads which were just
unpaved dirt and rutted.
