Is waterfront property your heart’s desire?

The area offers most of life’s pleasures including fishing, crabbing, clamming, walking on the beach, exploring history and discovering the stories of such historical figures as John Rolfe, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson and Pocahontas.  The natural beauty of the region abounds in the colonial heritage of Gloucester, Mathews, Middlesex, Colonial Williamsburg, Yorktown, Jamestown, Hampton and Newport News where pride and restoration have preserved our past for your pleasure and enjoyment.

Speaking of enjoyment, Gloucester and surrounding communities will be sure to be a pleasure!  Pick a waterfront point, a rural private setting, a country lane, an elegant estate, a quaint village, a small town or a vibrant city!  We have it all!  In our special corner of the region, otherwise known as the Middle Peninsula, Northern Neck and River Country, we take pride in our limitless recreation, quality living choices and opportunities as well as untouched natural settings the English settlers must have encountered in colonial years.  History surrounds you from the first English settlers at Jamestown through the building of our nation, homes where George Washington and Thomas Jefferson lived and worked.  Relive the stories of when John Smith and John Rolfe met and loved Chief Powhatan’s daughter,  Pocahontas, or visit Yorktown where Cornwallis surrendered, ending the Revolutionary War and explore the Civil War history on his sesquicentennial anniversary.    You can choose to live in history by owning a restored colonial or a new modern custom home in a community with amenities such as marina, pool, tennis, or golf. 

Our area offers some of Virginia’s finest golf courses such as Tide’s Inn & Golden Eagle in Lancaster, Piankatank Golf Club in Middlesex, Gloucester Country Club, the Golden Horseshoe in Williamsburg at the Williamsburg Inn, the Williamsburg Country Club or Kings Mill Resort where the LPGA tour returns.  Whatever your golf style, there is a course for you!

Perhaps water sports are your preference.  Come and bring your fishing pole or plan to buy your dream sailboat, runabout or yacht.  We have marinas and waterfront homes with docks to accommodate.  Rivers, harbors, bays, inlets, creeks and sand beaches all wait for you!

Let’s not forget shopping and the great restaurants!  Quaint boutiques line Main Street Gloucester Courthouse, Mathews Courthouse, Urbanna in Middlesex County, Kilmarnock in Lancaster County, Tappahannock in Essex County, the Town of West Point, and Yorktown in York County.  Of course we have the expected modern super stores and chains either near town or a short drive away.  Enjoy outlet stores and malls in nearby Newport News, Williamsburg, Richmond and Norfolk all no more than an hour’s drive away.
