1439 North River Road Bohannon, VA 23021

Offered for sale for the first time in over a century, this approximately 100-acre waterfront property includes a long-established homesite overlooking Cakes Creek, North River, and Mobjack Bay. A late-1800s home was lost to a fire in 2023, and a small cottage believed to date back to the 1950s remains on the property and may be suitable for restoration. The land is split between approximately 65 acres of timber and 35 acres of open fields and cropland. The property also features over 3,200 feet of waterfrontage, including sandy shoreline, a protected cove, a private peninsula, and an existing dock location, along with electric running to the homesite and a newer well pump. Access is provided via a private lane stretching nearly a mile through open fields and towering woods.

Located in Mathews County, Virginia, the site is described as a Chesapeake Bay watershed property with a protected cove setting and varied shoreline configurations. The combination of timber, open ground, and waterfront access supports both farming and fishing use cases, while the historical homesite provides a developed starting point on the peninsula.

Zoned Agricultural and Rural, the property is positioned for a range of country-oriented plans, including a private estate, family compound, equestrian property, hunting retreat, working farm use, or other future subdivision concepts subject to applicable approvals. For buyers seeking a waterfront parcel with an existing homesite and dock location, the mix of open acreage, timber cover, and shoreline access offers flexibility for many long-term uses.
