“This is the perfect location to realize the dream of a life on the Chesapeake Bay shoreline — one that will become an enduring family tradition.”

Positioned at the storied confluence of the Rappahannock River and the Chesapeake Bay, 2276 Mosquito Point Road is a rare and exceptional offering: a private waterfront estate where the full grandeur of Tidewater living unfolds in every direction. Sweeping bay vistas, a narrow barrier island shimmering on the horizon, breathtaking sunrises, and moonrises rippling across the Rappahannock conspire to make this one of the most captivating settings on Virginia's Northern Neck.

A winding gravel lane draws you through park-like grounds, past towering hardwoods and sun-dappled lawns, offering tantalizing glimpses of the water before the bay comes fully into view. The property’s 4.8 acres provide both privacy and a sense of arrival — a world apart from the ordinary. Built in 1940 in the classic Tidewater tradition, the rambling main residence is sited atop a gentle knoll, capturing prevailing bay breezes and commanding elevated views of the water in all seasons.

Inside, the home balances timeless character with generous, comfortable living spaces. The heart of the house is the spacious living room, anchored by a handsome masonry fireplace and flowing seamlessly onto a large wraparound deck that extends the full length of the home. Here, the sound of waves lapping at the shoreline and the sight of sailboats gliding across the bay become the backdrop for everyday life.

The light-filled dining room is refined yet understated — a gracious setting for intimate dinners and lively gatherings alike. A cozy family room with a full bath offers an easy, informal retreat. At the same time, the well-appointed kitchen features a bright breakfast nook perfectly positioned to take in the water views that make every morning feel like a vacation.

The expansive first-floor primary suite is a true sanctuary: a private fireplace, a dedicated riverside deck, two generous walk-in closets, and a well-appointed bath combine to create an owner’s retreat of rare distinction.

Upstairs, a charming upper hall connects two distinct wings. One side offers an office, two comfortable bedrooms, and a full bath; the other features two additional bedrooms and another hall bath — ideal for guests, family, or a dedicated library or study. The upper-floor bedrooms capture the character of the home’s 1940s architecture, with sloped ceilings, skylights, and a warm, unhurried ambiance.

The outdoor spaces are exceptional. A screened porch opens onto a beautifully appointed pool terrace enclosed by classic ironwork fencing — a serene spot to swim, entertain, or absorb the river panorama framed by ancient oaks. The attached three-bay garage offers ample room for automobiles, boats, kayaks, golf carts, and all the equipment that an active waterfront life demands.

Down the gentle slope from the house, a waterside deck leads to the property’s private dock — a long, sturdy pier extending well into the bay — and a sandy beach that is pure Eastern Shore magic. Whether you’re launching a boat at dawn, casting a line in the afternoon, or watching the moon rise over the Rappahannock on a summer evening, this shoreline is the soul of the property.

Properties of this caliber — this combination of acreage, privacy, waterfront, history, and setting — rarely come to market on the Northern Neck. 2276 Mosquito Point Road is not merely a home; it is a place where family stories are written and a way of life is passed from one generation to the next.
