Magnificent seaside retreat on Virginia’s Eastern Shore. With unobstructed views of pristine barrier islands this Wachapreage estate is peacefully situated atop 5 acres and surrounded by another 73 acres of unsurpassed views from the second story hot tub. A nature lovers and an outdoor enthusiasts dream, bring your kayak and appetite for oysters with access to thousands of acres of pristine salt marshes. Spectacular sunrises over the barrier islands that remain forever unchanged offer views of Parramore Island and the long abandoned Coast Guard Station. Barrier islands south to the tip of the peninsula are owned by the State or the Nature Conservancy’s Virginia Coast Reserve, the longest coastal wilderness on the Eastern Seaboard. The property includes buffers to the north and south to ensure privacy. Fields are rented to local farms and are subject to reduced taxes as part of the County’s AFD program. The Delmarva Peninsula is a major fly-way for migrating birds and your front row seat is waiting to view the dozens of species pass through in the Fall and Spring. Watch flocks of snow geese flying up from the marsh as the rising sun catches their white wings dance across the backdrop of the blue skies. Exquisite all season gardens complete with Scottish boxwoods and a yew promenade.
