Come experience the newly debuted, never-before-built Chapel Hill by NK Homes of Virginia! This beautiful 3,351 sq. foot craftsman boasts bright open spaces, beautiful trim work and built-in cabinetry as sits on a large, lush green yard.

Enjoy evenings by the fire with your own private fire pit, situated on the patio, located off of the back deck.

The Chapel Hill is nestled in the community of Madison Estates, a quaint, private area near old Civil War trails and battle grounds in the Cold Harbor area of Hanover. Developed by Godsey Property, Inc, the land was once private property of the Godsey family, and in fact, they still reside in the neighborhood. A large private barn is a center focus of the community and one can stop at any point and see horses leisurely grazing in the fields.

People come to Madison Estates seeking privacy. Not only do residents find that, but they also find an amazing sense of community; creating the perfect balance for a blissful life. Only 9 homesites remain, if you’re interested in learning more or taking a tour, please contact Jana Mills JanaMills@lizmoore.com.

Why Tabb?

The much sought-after area of Tabb is known for its fantastic schools, sports teams and charming community, but very few know the story behind the land that is loved so much. One tract of land in particular, home of the new community Smith Farm Estates, tells a story rich in history of a pioneer before her time.

Mary Octavia Smith was born in 1845 and was married to Alexander Tabb in 1871. She bore 3 children and became a widow at a young age, leaving her to raise the children on her own. Looking for an opportunity to provide for her family, she applied to the Federal Government requesting for a post office to be placed in the community she lived in, Smithville. Tabb’s request was granted, and history was forever changed.

She became the first female Post Master for the state in 1893 and remained in office until 1910.  27 years before the women’s suffrage movement, this was no small feat. As a Post Master, one of the most coveted and respected positions in the Government, Tabb was a woman ahead of her time. Dedicated to taking care of her family, she converted her house into the post office and served people out of window on the front porch. The area once known as “Smithville” was later named “Tabb” as a nod to Ms. Tabb’s post office.

Located on the heart of what was once Tabb’s property, Smith Farm Estates is nestled in history.  Not only are these ½ acre+ lots highly desired due to location, but the deep historical roots of the land make it even more desirable.

Liz Moore and Associates is honored to represent Edgerton Contracting in this groundbreaking community! For more information on available lots, or for a tour, please contact Jenny Edgerton at (757) 592-3378.

Stop by Gallina Grasso Italian Kitchen on May 22nd between 5:30-7:30 to meet Ricky Edgerton of Edgerton Contracting Inc., now building Smith Farm Estates, one of Tabb's newest communities.

Edgerton Contracting was founded in Yorktown, Virginia in 1994. Before getting his contractor’s license, Ricky designed submarines and aircraft carriers, but seldom got to see his designs once they were built. After building his own house, Ricky discovered his passion for home construction and the fulfillment he received from seeing his design come to life in a practical, meaningful way. It’s fitting that the inspiration to start the business was constructing his own family’s home, as family is the cornerstone of Edgerton Contracting.
