Twenty private acres on the Northern Neck
A three-level waterfront dwelling anchors the grounds — cathedral ceilings, a stone fireplace, a light-filled aviary, and covered verandas. Beyond the house, pasture, pond, and tree-draped trails unfold across twenty quiet acres where eagles, blue herons, and foxes pass through.
