Why the Owner Chose Urbanna
I grew up going to visit my grandparents who had a cottage on the Northern Neck near Burgess, VA - where the Potomac River meets the Chesapeake Bay. When I decided to buy a river property, I wanted to be a little bit closer to Richmond. Burgess is 2 hours from Richmond. I wanted to be within 1.5 hours which put me on the Middle Peninsula. I started looking for property in Feb 2004 on the weekends and discovered Bay Port Bluffs in Jamaica, VA. The distance was perfect making driving options either 64 thru West Point or 360 thru Mechanicsville.
The Unique Benefits of this House
The number one benefit for me is the quiet calm of the country. It is rural VA at its best. Although the property is considered waterview, it has many of the benefits of waterfront since the house is situated in between two waterfront cottages at an elevated position so view of the river is great from the front yard or even from the living room via bay window. There is a private beach which is hard to find on river properties.
