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.
