About Sutherland
Sutherland is an unincorporated community in Dinwiddie County on U.S. Route 460, about 9 miles west-southwest of Petersburg (per Wikipedia, read September 25, 2026). It's a rural crossroads of farms, pine woods, and country homes — smaller and quieter than the Dinwiddie courthouse village to the east. Buyers here are typically after acreage, privacy, and value, with Petersburg's shopping and dining a short drive east and Richmond about 35–40 minutes up I-85.
