As the brilliant colors of fall invade our surroundings and the marsh grasses die back for the winter, Founders Pointe residents enjoy nature walks and breathtaking sunrises from whole new perspective. The community’s winding trails, located near Smithfield, Virginia, lead to the perfect spot to take in these spectacular views, the 844′ pier overlooking Batten Bay and the James River. Two overlooks, one halfway down the pier and the other at the pier’s end, provide stopping places with benches and scenic views across the marsh and river.
A dozen Nature Watch signs with illustrations and kid-friendly nature facts identify the many plants, birds and animals that can be seen around the marsh and bay. From herons, to crabs, to soaring eagles, with views that reach to the James River and beyond, the possibilities are never-ending.

Overall Neighborhood Concept and the Resort Style Amenities
The centerpiece of Founders Pointe are the exceptional resort-style recreational amenities the community has to offer. Rarely, does a neighborhood with only 319 homes have a clubhouse and pool, but to find it on the scale of the Founders Pointe Residents’ Club, that’s truly unique. (Monthly Association dues are only $93/month which includes maintenance of the common area and access to the amenities.)

- 844′ observation pier offering panoramic views of Batten Bay and the James River

The clubhouse’s swimming pool and waterslide is augmented by a children’s playground and sand volleyball court. Both children and adults make use of the network of nearly three miles of sidewalks and walking trails that wind throughout the community. An observation pier overlooks Batten Bay, with views reaching to the James River and the Hampton Roads.
