Homes for Rent in Eagle Rock, VA

The little town of Eagle Rock is often overshadowed by the mountains that surround it and the river it looks over. “There are two draws to Eagle Rock – hometown living on the James and mountain views,” says Realtor Kenneth Sexton of Gateway Real Estate, who has over 20 years of experience in the area. “That’s really about it. There’s not much to it otherwise.” Once a center for the production of quicklime, today the town is little more than a collection of homes and churches clustered around U.S. Highway 43. The old kiln still stands at the west end of Eagle Rock, a reminder that time moves slowly in this quiet Virginia community. Nearly all homes in Eagle Rock were built between 1900 and the 1950s, and many have been renovated to accommodate modern amenities such as high-speed internet and heating. “It’s mostly older, two-story homes right in the little town area,” Sexton says. “Occasionally, you’ll find newer builds in the country around it, but there isn’t a whole lot of regular development. What you see tends to be what you get.” Mountain views and river access are common, with no houses further than a mile from the James. Prices range from $35,000 to $280,000, depending
