Investment Insights

Based on property information with market context.

This offering is a waterfront land property in Mathews County, Virginia, featuring an established homesite overlooking the water. The original late-1800s home was lost to a fire in 2023, and a small cottage believed to date back to the 1950s remains on site. The property includes approximately 65 acres in timber and 35 acres of open fields and crops, along with a protected dock and pier location near Cakes Creek.

A private lane runs nearly a mile through open fields and towering woods, reaching the waterfront homesite. The waterfront includes over 3,200 feet of sandy beach and wraparound waterfrontage, including a protected cove, and a private peninsula.

Infrastructure currently includes the private lane, electricity extending along the lane to the waterfront homesite, and a shallow well with a recently installed pump that was operational in 2024. The property is zoned Agricultural and Rural and may support a range of uses consistent with that classification.
