One of the most sought-after property-types in our market are waterfront homes, which offer gorgeous water views and the opportunity to enjoy fishing, crabbing, boating, and water sports in your “back yard.” Homes and land with acreage is also a very popular property-type, especially with so many people wanting to hunt, grow their own fruits and vegetables, ride ATVs, and simply enjoy privacy and seclusion. We also sell historic homes, water-access and inland homes, as well as waterfront and inland building lots.

Regardless of the type of property you’re looking to buy or sell in our region, we would be happy to assist. We don’t work outside our area of expertise; we don’t try to do business in Richmond or Northern Virginia, or any other market – we want to specialize in our market only, and be able to provide our clients with the knowledge, skills, and local connections that “out-of-area” agents aren’t able to provide.

Let us help you with your upcoming real estate sale or purchase! We would be grateful for your business!

TO-BE-BUILT. Picture coming home to a place designed around the way you live. This one-story home has 2,143 square feet of open, easy living under 10-foot ceilings, so every room feels bright and welcoming. Everyone gets their own space here! All three bedrooms are on the main floor, and each has its own full bathroom, so family and overnight guests can settle in and feel at home. The primary suite has a walk-in closet with room for everything, and a half bath in the hallway for visitors keeps the private spaces private. The kitchen is where it all comes together. Gather around the island for morning coffee or homework, and keep the walk-in pantry stocked for holiday cooking or the crowd that drops by every Sunday for football. When the weather's nice, and even when it isn't, you'll find yourself outside. There are 926 square feet of covered porches, front and back. Wave to neighbors from the front, or relax out back as the evening winds down. Add the optional outdoor kitchen and the backyard becomes the go-to spot for cookouts and get-togethers, rain or shine. The everyday essentials are handled too. An attached 609 sq ft 2-car garage keeps you out of the rain, and a 50 sq ft storage room holds the seasonal gear. We work with a local builder, LegaSea Construction, and we'll walk with you from the first conversation, to the day you get your keys. Give us a call. We'd love to talk about pricing, homesites, and how to make this home yours.
