A place where you can truly unwind and become one with nature. This stunning Dutch Colonial home is just that. Two parcels total 24.45 luscious acres, making this a special place. With a brand new roof, the house overlooks a 2-Acre private lake built by the Army Corps of Engineers in the 50s. Relax on the multi-level deck that's been redone with new decking and railing and watch the wildlife swoop in or scurry along the banks. Better yet, get out your reel or fishing pole and try your luck at catching one of the many fish in the lake from the renovated dock with an added pergola. With a depth of 18 feet, you'll be able to swim or enjoy using your paddle boat or jon boat that comes with the sale. You can also take a walk down the trails to find 131ft of shoreline on the Rappahannock River. Feel like hitting something? How about hitting some balls in your own batting cage?
