The private dock with boat and ski lifts makes this property ideal for water sports enthusiasts. The estimated mean water level of 3-4 feet makes it an accessible option for boating, fishing, and swimming. The street side of the home greets guests with a beautiful white stone circular driveway, extensive landscaping (watered by sprinkler system), slate roof, and an entry portico all adding to the property's charming character. Modern amenities and utilities include Verizon Breezeline internet service which provides a reliable connection for work or leisure, public water and sewer service, leased propane for back-up heating and gas log fireplace.

The property is just minutes away from local restaurants, shops, attractions, and hospital, making it the perfect destination for a weekend getaway or a permanent home.
The mile-wide view across the Rappahannock River (positioned on what is known more precisely as The Northern Neck) is unobstructed due to protected the Rappahannock River Valley Wildlife Refuge (comprised of more than 20,000 acres), home to nearly extinct animals of all kinds, bald eagles, herons of numerous species, osprey (and their nests), rabbits, birds of all kinds, deer, and so forth: such creatures are often visible, often making visits to the tranquil banks of the side of The Rivah where this splendid home is located.
