Pleasant Point, also known as Crouches Creek Plantation, is a historic home located near Scotland, Surry County, Virginia. It was built about 1724, and is a 1 1/2-story, double pile frame dwelling with brick ends. It has a gable roof and originally had a hall-parlor plan, later modified to a central-hall plan. The interior woodwork was largely replaced in the 1950s. Also on the property are the contributing dairy, smokehouse, and a four-step terrace leading down to the bluffs overlooking the James River.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1976.
