Hickory Hill in Nottoway County is comprised of 141 acres of rolling pasture and woodlands. A crape myrtle-lined drive leads to an 1830s-era Federal house surrounded by numerous outbuildings, some older than the house itself. Originally owned by prominent planter Sharpe Carter, it was later owned by his son, Col. William Carter, and then by Major Leroy Long, both of whom are buried in the Civil War-period cemetery on the property. A classic 2-over-2 floor plan distinguishes the original part of the house where nearly 14-ft ceilings, handsome mill work and wide heart pine floors are among the architectural features that captivate. Wide Entry Hall bisects house, separating a banquet scale Dining Room and formal Living Room, both w/ FPs. On the second floor, two large bedrooms (18' x 18' each) now have access to a new Hall Bath added ca. 2018. Also added in 2018, a Sun Room offers panoramic views courtesy of 8 sets of transomed windows. 1950s addition at rear of the structure houses a Breakfast Room, Kitchen, Study and large Bath with deep soaking tub, stall shower and lengthy vanity. Dreamy Screened Porch and Deck, stocked pond with pier and pavilion and gazebo, 2-C Garage.
