Secluded romantic getaway on large working waterfront farm located on King's Creek- Has fabulous view of sunsets over the Chesapeake Bay - it's that place to unwind and reconnect with family and friends.
House includes 3 bedrooms and can accommodate 6 guests. An appreciation of the location and rural setting is a must.
Wildlife and farm animals are abundant. Herons, ospreys and eagles soar the area daily. Deer frequently walk through the yard. The lagoon, adjacent to the house, has about 5 feet of water depth and is protected. It's that place, where in privacy and unnoticed, you can view the boats going to and from the Chesapeake Bay. In the fall and winter Canadian geese and ducks winter in the fresh water ponds, creek, and fields.
Kayaks are available locally for rental if you want to investigate the Creek and arrangements can be made for fishing trips sunset cruises or keeping your boat at the dock or in the lagoon.
Cape Charles and the surrounding Eastern Shore of Virginia area have much to offer, such as the Barrier Island Museum, the Fisherman's Island Refuge, Kiptopeke State Park, Tours to the Barrier Islands, Northampton County Court House (Oldest Continuous Court Records in U.S.), Debtor's Prison and many others.
If you develop an allergy to "Quiet" and need some additional excitement in your life, the "Megapolis" of Virginia Beach, Norfolk, Chesapeake, Portsmouth, Suffolk, Hampton, Newport News and Yorktown are just on the other side of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel.
Little Townfield Farm is located near Cape Charles, Virginia and Bay Creek Marina. Drive time from Norfolk International Airport is approximately 45 minutes. Access to a private airport is available on request.
This property is best suited for those who want to sneak away, enjoy nature, the water, and solitude.
In addition to the livestock, we raise Smith Island Salts oysters and clams. If you desire to "eat in", we can prepare some oysters that are raised on the farm or a breakfast with Fresh eggs.
