Powhatan Plantation Resort
Powhatan Plantation was part of an original land grant that
was conveyed to a prominent colonial family in 1640. Located on
the property is a manor house that was built circa 1735 and
occupied by Mary Toliver. The manor house, as restored, was the
centerpiece of Powhatan Plantation. On the 20 acres surrounding
the manor house were formal gardens, numerous outbuildings, indoor
and outdoor pools, athletic facilities, meeting rooms, and three
food establishments, including a gourmet restaurant. The remaining
236 acres included open lands, a ring of woods, private roads, and
the time-share condominiums and townhouses.
The Powhatan Plantation resort has a colonial working
plantation theme. It was marketed as a luxury resort suitable for
families to discover and explore the history of the surrounding
area. The first sale of a time-share unit occurred in late 1984.
As of February 1989, a total of 106 residential units had been
sold; that number increased to 140 the following year.
The time-share program offered by Powhatan Associates conveyed
either a 1/52 or a 1/104 undivided interest in an annual or
biannual time-share estate. A purchaser of a time-share unit at
Powhatan Plantation was entitled to the exclusive use and enjoyment
of a unit during a designated and fixed week each year. The
purchaser became a member of the Powhatan Plantation Owner’s
Association, which allowed the purchaser (or vacationer) to use
