Virginia Waterfront Homes for Sale

Virginia

The history of America is closely tied to that of Virginia, particularly during the Colonial period, Jamestown, founded in 1607, was the first permanent English settlement in North America and slavery was introduced there in 1619. The state is called the “Mother of Presidents” because eight U.S. presidents were born there.

The climate of Virginia becomes increasingly warmer and more humid farther south and east. Seasonal extremes vary from average lows of 26 °F (−3 °C) in January to average highs of 86 °F (30 °C) in July. The Atlantic ocean has a strong effect on eastern and southeastern coastal areas of the State.

Virginia is divided into 95 counties and 39 independent cities, which both operate the same way since independent cities are considered to be county-equivalent. This method of treating cities and counties equally is unique to Virginia.

Fairfax County is the most populous locality in Virginia, with over one million residents. Neighboring Loudon County is both the fastest-growing county in Virginia and has the highest median household income ($114,204) in the USA as of 2010.  Virginia's economy is balanced, with diverse sources of income, including government and military, farming, and business. Virginia has 4.1 million civilian workers, and one-third of the jobs are in the service sector. The unemployment rate was 6.3% as of April 2011. Technology became the state's highest-grossing export in 2006, surpassing its traditional top exports of coal and tobacco combined.

Agriculture occupies 24% of the land in Virginia. As of 2007, about 357,000 Virginian jobs were in agriculture, with over 47,000 farms, averaging 171 acres (0.27 sq. mi.; 0.69 km2), in a total farmland area of 8.1 million acres (12,656 sq. mi.; 32,780 km2).

Providing horsepower in the fields and transportation for goods and people, horses were the backbone of the first Virginia Colonies. Today, the role of horses has changed dramatically, yet horses are still a vital economic factor. Some 700 equine events are held in Virginia each year, attracting over 800,000 participants and spectators who spend more than $167 million at these events. The average Virginia horse owner spends $2,969 per horse yearly. Horse owners spend $505 million in annual expenses and support approximately 20,000 jobs statewide.

A Front - Row Seat to the Rappahannock River - Dock, Lifts & Wildlife Included

Dunnsville, Essex County, Virginia


Click on Video URL to visit property website to view video, many many more pictures & extensive information. Rappahannock “Rivah” Life Some waterfront homes make a nice impression. This one changes the conversation. Set in a prime Lowery Point location, this Rappahannock Riverfront property delivers the kind of setting people dream about long before they find it: glassy sunrises, wide water views, eagles, osprey, otters, pelicans, and the occasional dolphins passing through like they know they belong here. This is not just a home near the water. This is a home built around actually living on the water. Fish from your own dock. Crab with friends. Harvest oysters. Launch the boat. Ride the jet skis. Watch the sunrise with coffee, then end the day by the firepit while the river does what the river does best. The new pier and dock are ready for serious waterfront enjoyment, featuring a 10,000 lb. boat lift with GEM remote system, two jet ski lifts, ladder to the water, power, water, and dusk-to-dawn lighting. Mean Low Water is approximately 3.5 to 4 feet, and the shoreline is protected with fortified bulkhead and rip rap. The home is a solidly built, well-maintained block and frame ranch with comfortable, unfussy living spaces that let the river stay center stage. Sweeping water views fill the living room, eat-in kitchen, dining room, Florida room, and bedroom #2. The enclosed under-roof porch adds a water-view office with 83.95 additional square feet not included in the listed 1,768 square feet. Outside, the setup is made for long weekends and easy everyday living: huge covered breezeway, semi-detached oversized one-car garage with workshop, storage and heater, carport, open patio with firepit, flagpole, gutters, and a garage shower attachment for rinsing off after a day on the water. No HOA means more freedom and fewer restrictions. Inside, you’ll find a spacious primary suite with walk-in closet, built-ins, and ensuite bath with jetted tub, separate shower, and dual-sink vanity. Both bathrooms feature heated Casta Diva bidets. Two gas fireplaces add warmth and character when the river turns moody and the evenings call for cozy. Major updates are already in place, including a commercial-grade TPO roof system installed in 2022, A-line roof shingles in 2020, HVAC in 2019, and alternative septic system new in 2020 with yearly inspections. All appliances, stylish honeycomb blinds, and new drapery convey. And while it feels like a private retreat, you are still only about 10 minutes from shopping, groceries, restaurants, medical services, and everyday conveniences. This is more than a river house. It is a front-row seat to sunrise. A working dock with real depth. A wildlife show you do not have to leave home to see. A place where the boat, the coffee, the firepit, and the view all live at the same address. Some people rent this lifestyle for a week. You could live it every day. No HOA.
