Spectacular waterfront location on the beautiful Corrotoman River with views of Myers Creek features an easy to maintain home designed for fun, friends and family. The Corrotoman River is a waterfowl flyway providing excellent fishing and crabbing that attracts masses of migratory birds for fascinating birdwatching, and offers fishing and crabbing for you, too. With nearly one acre of level, park-like perennial landscaping, the rambling and charming 2300± square foot cottage boasts 182± feet of water frontage and a pier on The Corrotoman River before it joins The Rappahannock River on the way to the Chesapeake Bay.

Yankee Point Marina, a full-service, top-rated boating facility is nearby, or take a trip to Kilmarnock, Irvington or Warsaw for provisions, entertainment or the Bon Secours hospital in Kilmarnock, or the VCU Riverside hospital in Tappahannock.

At home, relax in the large LR with stone-faced fireplace and gas logs, prepare meals in the open space kitchen-dining room, with bay window, or play along the elevated shore while enjoying gracious Southern afternoons on the screened porch or front veranda as boats drift by with a backdrop of beautiful sunrises and endless sunsets.
