River Home For Sale
This period Tidewater Farmhouse, which has seen numerous renovations through the years, is surrounded and bordered by a vast rural acreage, known as The Cloverdale Preserve; a mile-deep tract of conserved rural woodlands, farmland, marshes, and serene waterways on the Lower Rappahannock River, as it makes its way toward the open waters of the Chesapeake Bay. The offering of Cloverdale presents an incredibly unique opportunity to return this special property to its original charming state or to completely redo the existing structure in a way that brings it into the 21st century while preserving some of its best original features. In need of some love and an architectural plan, Cloverdale, circa 1930, is beautifully sited upon a breathtaking promontory overlooking the spectacular and serene Rappahannock River, at one of its widest points. The site is surely without equal, on the Lower Rappahannock River, in Essex County, Virginia. Property amenities include a pier, dock, nearby boat ramp, hard-wired whole-house generator, two large, detached utility buildings, each with large, oversized garage doors capable of housing multiple vehicles and more. As an added property bonus, the drive into Cloverdale, through the Preserve, is wonderfully scenic and filled with towering native hardwoods of every kind, naturalized rhododendron, magnolias, dogwood, pecan, black walnut and chestnut trees. Serene in every season, the preserve is home to an abundance of waterfowl, eagles, wild turkey, osprey, owls, native upland birds and wildlife of every sort. Cloverdale is located minutes from Urbanna, Saluda and convenient to: Richmond, Williamsburg, Irvington, Kilmarnock, Tappahannock, Fredericksburg, Newport News, and Gloucester. The possibilities are endless and abound at Cloverdale!Property Details
