About This Home

Set on nearly 6 acres of tranquil private preserve, this home is a true sanctuary—perfect for hobby farm enthusiasts, nature lovers, and anyone seeking peace and privacy without sacrificing convenience. Spend quiet mornings on the front porch rocker and end your day with sunsets from the expansive back deck.

Enjoy effortless access to Aquia Creek and the Potomac River—just a mile away—plus nearby waterfront communities like Hope Springs Marina, Freedom Boat Club, and Aquia Boat Storage. Whether for recreation or relaxation, this is the ultimate escape.

Step inside 5,256 sq ft of thoughtfully upgraded living space. Constructed from kiln-dried Southland timber, the custom chalet-style design resists rot and insects, with 6x9 profile logs offering insulation equivalent to R39.

The layout includes two upper-level offices that can easily be used as bedrooms, offering flexible living arrangements for remote work or expanding household needs. On the main level, a spacious playroom with closet and full bath creates the perfect space for an in-law suite or private guest retreat.

You're just minutes from I-95, VRE, shopping, and top-rated schools, making this home ideal for those affiliated with nearby military bases like Quantico, Fort Belvoir, and Joint Base Andrews.
