THE COVE ON THE CHESAPEAKE BAY
$699,000
6.5 Acres on the Chesapeake Bay
“There’s something really simple and idyllic about living in a house very close to the water.”
This extraordinary 6.5+ acre waterfront peninsula near White Stone is tucked along a protected cove, just moments from the open Chesapeake Bay. Here, nature, privacy, and possibility converge in a rare opportunity. Mature pines and hardwoods frame the approach, ensuring separation from the outside world. They create a sense of arrival well before you glimpse the water. Expansive views across tidal inlets toward the Bay confirm true seclusion. The property unfolds as a private coastal retreat with a winding shoreline, natural marshes, and a carefully positioned building site. This site is set well back from neighbors, capturing long, unobstructed vistas in every direction. Unlike many waterfront parcels, it offers both protection and exposure. Enjoy calm, sheltered waters for docking and recreation, along with easy access to the Chesapeake Bay for boating, sailing, and fishing. Generous setbacks and significant distance from neighboring homes ensure total privacy. This peninsula is perfect for those seeking a haven of exclusivity.
Perhaps the most compelling feature is rare in this region: a deeded, private sand beach, not shared with neighbors. Perched on a natural spit of land, this exclusive amenity ensures sole ownership and access. It delivers direct, intimate shoreline and a sense of privacy that feels more like a coastal retreat than a typical river property.
A newly constructed dock extends into the protected cove. It is ideal for boating and watercraft of all sizes. The calm waters provide a safe, convenient launch point to the Bay while preserving the peace and quiet that make waterfront living desirable. For boating enthusiasts, this is the best of both worlds: easy navigation to open water without the exposure and chop that often come with it.
The property spans over 6.5 acres, with extensive shoreline, natural wetlands, and a separate sand beach parcel. There is ample room to create a true waterfront retreat. The scale allows for real architectural ambition. Whether you envision a modern coastal compound, a classic Tidewater design, or a timeless shingle-style home, the possibilities are wide open.
While the property feels secluded, it remains close to the charm and amenities of White Stone, Irvington, and Kilmarnock. Kilmarnock, the Hub of the Northern Neck, offers boutique shopping, diverse dining, and the community-centered Town Centre Park. Irvington adds historic and upscale character. It is home to the renowned Tides Inn and the Steamboat Era Museum. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate Westland Beach & Public Fishing Pier, featuring a sandy beach, a fishing pier, and picnic areas. The Compass Entertainment Complex offers activities for all ages. Larger metropolitan areas remain accessible for weekend travel.
This region is defined by its relaxed pace, natural beauty, and deep connection to the water. These qualities continue to draw discerning buyers seeking a more intentional way of life. Waterfront living is not just about views. It is about how your days unfold: the rhythm of tides and changing light, the ease of stepping onto your boat from your own dock, and quiet moments along your private shoreline. There is a rare sense of space, privacy, and belonging. Opportunities like this—combining true seclusion, a private sandy beach, and a dock—are increasingly rare along the Chesapeake Bay. For the buyer who values place, this is more than land. It is the foundation for something exceptional.
