Virginia’s Northern Neck is the northernmost peninsula on the western shore of iconic Chesapeake Bay, a prestigious area rich in American history. The rural stretch of rolling hills and quiet tidal creeks is the ancestral home of the Carters, the Washingtons, and the Lees. With 1,100 miles of shoreline, including beaches, marinas, old steamship wharfs, and small towns that date to colonial times, the Northern Neck offers many and much-beloved waterfront communities throughout the region to explore. Freshwater and saltwater fishing, boating, crabbing, watersports, duck hunting and more await. Small farms, vineyards, and wineries offer local delicacies. Stop by any roadside stand or farmer’s market to enjoy the fruits of the region. The estate offers profound privacy on its near 140 acres, but is well within driving distance of busy Richmond, Washington DC, and Charlottesville.
