About this home

A serene approach leads you down a private drive unfolding to reveal a breathtaking panoramic vista of the Chesapeake Bay. Nestled on nearly six acres at the southern tip of the Potomac River, this classic bay cottage is perfectly positioned to capture extraordinary views. The horizon stretches across the Smith Point Lighthouse, active shipping lanes, and the silhouettes of Tangier and Smith Islands. With 250' of rip-rapped shoreline and a private 110' dock (4-6' MLW) with water and electricity including an 8000 lb boat lift, fish cleaning station and jet skit lift; the property is a premier gateway to life on the water. The interior is designed for gracious living creating a relaxing atmosphere. The main level welcomes you into an expansive, light filled space where a spacious kitchen features an island with seating, an inviting dining area and vaulted living room with incredible views. Two porches invite the bay breezes in. An open study area offers an inspiring workspace alongside a bedroom and full bath—all bathed in light through Anderson windows framing the water vistas.
The lower level is a dedicated retreat where both bedrooms open to a welcoming screened porch and wrap-around deck. The primary features a large closet with custom built-ins and updated en suite bathroom. A second bedroom provides a charming bunk room setup, supported by a convenient half-bath and laundry room. Outside, the detached, climate-controlled workshop/rec room offers a fully finished flex space. The grounds are a private sanctuary featuring a summertime outdoor shower and a productive orchard of mature fig, pear, plum, and chestnut trees and grapevines. Enjoy quiet privacy 10 minutes to Burgess, 20 minutes to Heathsville or Reedville, and 30 minutes to Kilmarnock. Recent updates include a newer 50 year high wind roof, newer HVAC and a private beach deck. From sun-drenched afternoons crabbing on the dock to the quiet magic of sunrises and moonrises over the water, these six acres offer a rare and peaceful bayfront escape....
