About This Home

Showings Welcome – Kickout Clause in Place This sanctuary on nearly 6 acres of private preserve is still open for showings. An offer is in place with a Kickout Clause, meaning you can still submit your own offer and seize this rare opportunity.

Lifestyle & Location Wake up to birdsong on the front porch rocker and wind down with sunsets from the expansive back deck. Just a mile from Aquia Creek and the Potomac River, enjoy easy access to Hope Springs Marina, Freedom Boat Club, and Aquia Boat Storage—offering endless recreation and relaxation.

Rustic Meets Refined Inside, over 5,250 sq ft of custom chalet-style living awaits. Crafted with kiln-dried Southland timber, the 6x9 profile logs resist rot and insects, with insulation equivalent to R39 for long-term efficiency.

Flexible Layout Two upper-level offices convert easily into bedrooms, while the main-level playroom with closet and full bath offers the perfect setup for an in-law suite or private guest retreat. Just minutes from I-95, VRE, shopping, and top-rated schools—ideal for military families at Quantico, Fort Belvoir, and Joint Base Andrews.
