The cost of living in much of the region is low compared to most metropolitan areas. The region stretches from the James River south to the border of North Carolina and extends as far east as Isle-of-Wight and Southampton counties and as far west as the foothills of the Blue Ridge. It's historically a chief center for tobacco farming, and its southeastern section is known for its cotton and peanut cultivation. The 20th century brought the addition of the textile and furniture industries in the areas surrounding nearby Danville and Martinsville. The estate is within a two-hour commute to Roanoke, Richmond, Raleigh-Durham, and Greensboro, N.C. The area in general is witnessing an influx of young families, commuting professionals, early retirees, and baby boomers, all of who have discovered the countryside and the uncrowded lifestyle of Mecklenburg County. Entrepreneurs and "gentleperson farmers" are looking for estate properties for agricultural, equestrian purposes, and for private use. The area is notably popular with new residents from Northern Virginia, Washington D.C., and North Carolina who are drawn by the mild four-season climate and access to the area's surrounding rivers and lakes. Its recreational features represent a significant and relatively untapped draw for the future, particularly with regard to tourism and property-value appreciation. As with most areas of rural Virginia, the land is relatively inexpensive as compared with more northern and densely populated regions of the state, and this has fueled development. Members of the local workforce can easily commute to other regions in Virginia and North Carolina while still enjoying the rural and scenic nature of their home area. Maple Hills is located just 15 minutes north of Boydton, the Mecklenburg county seat.
