A truly rare waterfront opportunity to own our Exceptional Custom Beach Estate located 20 minutes from Williamsburg, Virginia. Enjoy 150 feet of unobstructed sandy beach frontage on 2 acres at the mouth of the historic York River with expansive views of the Chesapeake Bay. Privately situated at the end of a secluded country road with no thru traffic, we designed this home to offer panoramic views of the Bay where the local watermen harvest their bounty. The property is nestled in a protected cove, with a naturally growing sand dune ridge that works in harmony with mother nature. We partnered with the area’s premiere custom home builder, Carmine Builders, sparing no expense to create this stunning home, utilizing a host of special design features to create a safer, stronger dwelling built to last for generations. The estate also features an elegant 900 sq. ft. matching guesthouse located privately at the front of the property, boasting a spacious deck, two gas fireplaces and gourmet kitchen for proven prime rental income. Meanwhile, the outdoor living space surrounding the main house is phenomenal! Imagine the perfect entertaining venue with expansive wrap-around decks, pristine lawns, mature landscaping, in-ground custom concrete pool, hot tub, gas fire pit and a stylish Cabana House with full bath. Enjoy private, deep water boating access thanks to a 500-foot pier equipped with handrails, plumbing, electricity, solar lighting and two 50-foot boat slips. A covered boathouse with a 40,000-pound lift and two personal watercraft lifts complement a fish cleaning station with running water and sink. Overhead and underwater LED lighting attracts rockfish and a host of other marine species at night, while pods of dolphin play in the river inches away from your pier during the day. You might even meet a genuine sea horse! Before departing the 8-foot wide pier on your golf cart, take in the commanding views of the Yorktown Monument, Coleman Bridge, York River channel and Chesapeake Bay. Comb your own sandy beach for sea glass, shells and other treasures from the bay. This magnificent waterfront residence has 6,642 square feet of living area, with both an attached oversized two-car garage and a detached heated and air conditioned oversized three-car garage – creating a forever home that truly has it all. The elegant interior of the main house is designed with top-notch finishes in every room. This home is better than new, with only the best of the best craftsmen, materials and state-of-the art equipment used throughout its design and development. The open floor plan, soaring ceilings, wall-to-wall custom windows and sweeping staircase are sure to impress the moment your guests enter. The one-of-a-kind entertaining area and billiards room both boast their own bars and styling that is only eclipsed by the beautiful first-floor large master suite. Meanwhile, the 800 square foot updated kitchen with exquisite cabinetry, dual pantries, Thermador ovens, Sub-Zero refrigerators and commercial tile make entertaining a breeze. Back outside, the white brick home and 50-year architectural shingles underscore an exterior that is just as richly appointed as the interior. With unsurpassed quality, attention to detail and prime waterfront location, this estate is the hallmark of lasting luxury living.
