Overview
Offered for the first time in over a century, this remarkable 100-acre waterfront estate is rich in history and natural beauty. The property captures the essence of Virginia's Middle Peninsula with a peaceful and breathtaking setting. A private lane stretches nearly a mile through open fields and towering woods, leading to the original homesite overlooking the water. The original late-1800s home was lost to a fire in 2023, but the homesite still offers opportunity for a new waterfront home with views of Cakes Creek, North River and Mobjack Bay. A small cottage believed to date back to the 1950s remains on the property and may offer restoration potential. The property includes approximately 65 acres in timber and 35 acres of open fields and crops. Over 3,200 feet of sandy beach and waterfrontage wrap around the property, including a protected cove and a private peninsula. Cakes Creek borders the property, where you will find the existing protected dock and pier location. The property is zoned Agricultural and Rural, offering subdivision potential for a private waterfront estate, family compound, equestrian property, hunting retreat, working farm, development, or recreational getaway. Wildlife is abundant, and the farming and fishing opportunities are exceptional. Existing infrastructure includes the private lane, electricity running the full length of the lane to the waterfront homesite, and a shallow well with a recently installed pump that was operational in 2024.
