Property Description

Offered for the first time in over a century, 1439 North River Road in Mathews County, Virginia, is a truly rare waterfront estate rich in history, natural beauty, and endless potential. Held within the same family for more than 100 years, this remarkable property captures the essence of Virginia's Middle Peninsula and it's coastal countryside with a setting that is both peaceful and breathtaking.
As you travel down the private lane, stretching nearly a mile through open fields and towering woods, the landscape begins to unfold into something extraordinary. This remarkable 100-acre property leads to the original homesite overlooking the water. Though the original late-1800s home was lost to a fire in 2023, the homesite still carries a timeless presence and boundless opportunity for a new waterfront home framed by sweeping views of Cakes Creek, North River and Mobjack Bay. A small cottage believed to date back to the 1950s remains on the property and may offer restoration potential as a guest house, studio or ancillary structure for the right vision.
With approximately 65 acres in timber and 35 acres of open fields and crops, it is as versatile as it is beautiful. Over 3,200 feet of sandy beach and waterfrontage wrap around the property, including a protected cove, and a private peninsula create a setting rarely found along the Bay watershed. Cakes Creek gently borders the right side of the property, where you will find the existing protected dock and pier location as well as incredible views from the existing homesite.
The property is zoned Agricultural and Rural, offering subdivision potential, private waterfront estate, family compound, equestrian property, hunting retreat, working farm, development, or recreational getaway. Wildlife is abundant, the farming and fishing opportunities are exceptional
Existing infrastructure includes the private lane, electricity running the full length of the lane to the waterfront homesite, and shallow well with a recently installed pump that was operational in 2024.
