ESCAPE to your personal island paradise built for climate resiliency and protection-- a mere 60 minutes from Williamsburg and Yorktown, 60-90 minutes from nearby Richmond, Norfolk, Newport News and Virginia Beach and just 3 hours from the DC-area. Enjoy one of the most picturesque islands on the Chesapeake Bay and enjoy a dreamy, carefree lifestyle filled with nature and activities for all generations year-round. Located on a spectacular 5.4 acre site on historic Gwynn’s Island on Virginia’s Middle Peninsula, this contemporary interpretation of historic Tidewater architecture and materials -- brick, stone, batten and copper roof – is graced by over 300 feet of limestone terrace and over 250 feet of floor-to-ceiling movable glass walls and doors. Gorgeous panoramic views of the water, a privileged “living shoreline” and surrounding nature and gardens blur the line between inside and out. A calm water sailing and boating haven; unobstructed evening star-gazing; and crab, fish and oysters living off your dock let you leave “the real” world behind when you arrive. Local restaurants, groceries and specialty markets and pickle-ball courts are minutes away on the mainland over the island’s 24-hour swing-bridge. Famed Richmond architect, Charles Aquino, designed the house and his wife and collaborator Anna Aquino the fabulous gardens. This stunning waterfront estate offerings include: -5 bedrooms and 4.5 baths across the main house and guest cottage -Onsite comforts and features including nearly one-level living -An open porch with retractable screens -360-degree walk-around terraces with flowing spaces for dining and lounging -A 40’ pool -Grilling station poolside -A “HydroCourt” tennis court and screens -A tree-house -A kayak shed -300-foot long boat dock -Two protected sandy coves -Lush year-round flowering grounds, with artful landscape design integrating mesmerizing natural beauty with flora, mature trees, and garden sculptures to make the perfect complement to this remarkable home. Private, expansive, serene and offering boundless pleasures, this custom-built home affords the exceptional oasis and the multi-generational, legacy lifestyle you have been looking for.
