About Sussex Court House
Sussex Court House is the county seat of Sussex County — a small courthouse village anchored by the Sussex County Courthouse (built 1828). It sits along U.S. Route 301 just off I-95, roughly 45 miles south of Richmond, in the heart of Virginia peanut country (nearby Wakefield bills itself the "Peanut Capital of the World"). The village is minimal: courthouse, county offices, churches, and a few businesses. Buyers here are after rock-bottom prices, acreage, and a slow pace, trading a long commute for some of the cheapest land in the metro.
