About This Home

Calling all boating enthusiasts! Boathouses are a rare find, & this property offers a fabulous one with a 10k-pnd lift, perfect for keeping your boat protected from the elements. The impressive pier is just steps from the home & features a small sitting deck, vinyl bulkhead, outdoor shower, a 2k pnd Jet Ski lift, & a floating jet ski lift. Located on protected, deep-water Mechims Creek, just off the Rappahannock River, this is an ideal area for waterfront restaurants, dolphin watching, fishing, & endless days exploring Virginia’s Chesapeake Bay. The turn-key waterfront cottage is absolutely adorable! The open living room overlooks the water & leads to the large waterside deck. The kitchen features granite countertops, a tile backsplash, SS appliances, & an open dining area. Relax in the sunroom, also offering direct access to the deck. The home includes 3 bedrooms & 2 full bathrooms. The detached garage has been transformed into a fun recreation space, & the low-maintenance yard allows more time for boating & relaxing. Whether you are watching the sunsets from the waterfront deck, cruising the river, or catching crabs from the dock, this is the river retreat you have been waiting for! Conveniently located, averaging 10 minutes from White Stone, Deltaville, & Urbanna, & only about an hour from Richmond. The current owners have also had great success using the property as a short-term rental, making it an exciting opportunity for personal enjoyment & potential rental income. The home may be offered furnished with the right offer. Pack your bags & head to the river! (3 BDRM Areas, 2 BEDRM septic, so one is considered a Bonus Room.)
