Historic. The property dates to 1652 when it was part of 2000± acres patented by Colonel George Ludlow. The original dwelling was built prior to 1754 by the Fitchetts. Richly carved paneling, ornamental woodwork, and many other features reflect the finest eighteenth century craftsmanship. This extraordinary property has been carefully preserved and thoughtfully improved for the ages.
Elegant. The brick Georgian manor of ± 5000 square feet is in the Flemish bond and has two and one-half stories with an English basement. Hand-fashioned details create a home of truly rare distinction. Other buildings part of this ± 92 acre waterfront estate are a brick guest cottage, a river cottage, a pool and pool house, a three-bay brick garage, a caretaker's cottage, a frame barn, and other dependencies.
Exquisite. From the manor and other buildings, as well as from the lawns and gardens, you will enjoy over the extensive waterfront panoramic views of the Piankatank River, one of the loveliest tributaries of the Chesapeake Bay. Sophisticated seclusion and rolling land of distinctive character are complemented by the additional true benefit of 10.5' MLW at the pier.
Practical. The two more recent wings also reflect the finest interior and exterior materials and methods of construction and meld very pleasingly with those of the eighteenth century main section of the home. The owner's suite wing includes a sitting area, a library, a fireplace, a huge walk-in cedar closet, and a gorgeous bathroom. The kitchen wing boasts cherry woodwork, the finest appliances, a large fireplace for the sitting area, custom cabinetry, and ample storage. The beautiful floors in these rooms are a true aestetic companion of the original floors as well.
