Two Rivers' luxury living and exclusive country club
With an exclusive country club, luxury homes and access to riverfront recreation, Two Rivers is among the most desirable neighborhoods in the Williamsburg area. “They have some really beautiful homes on the water,” says Randy Haufe, an associate broker with Shaheen, Ruth, Martin & Fonville Real Estate. The neighborhood is indeed located at the confluence of two rivers — the Chickahominy and the James — about 20 minutes from downtown Williamsburg and an hour from Richmond. “They have big lots and wide streets. It’s well manicured," says Haufe, who has sold in Williamsburg for nearly a decade. "It’s very pretty out there.”
Two Rivers Country Club offers a private golf course and marina
Two Rivers Country Club is at the heart of its namesake neighborhood. The private course is ranked one of the top 25 courses in Virginia, according to Golf Digest. Several holes run alongside the water, and the club also features an outdoor pool, a beach on the James River, a fitness center and a marina. The 100-dock facility offers residents water access, though nonresidents can join as a marina member. Haufe says the clubhouse is undergoing renovations, adding event spaces and a wine tasting room among other features. Just off Route 5 on the riverbank, Chickahominy Riverfront Park offers a swimming pool, a fishing pier and a boat ramp. Visitors can rent kayaks and canoes or spend the night at the campsite.
Upscale Colonial Revival homes, including waterfront estates
Much of Two Rivers is still wooded, providing the neighborhood with seclusion and privacy. While a few properties sit off long private drives, most homes are within the upscale Governor’s Land at Two Rivers community. Development began in the community in the early 1990s, though some newer builds are scattered throughout. Colonial Revival homes sell for $690,000 to $1 million, while larger luxury houses and waterfront properties sell for $1 million to $2.2 million. The neighborhood’s CAP Index Crime Score is 1 out of 10, lower than the national figure of 4.
