This treasured Southern river cottage is located on a majestic waterfront site on the Rappahannock River with expansive views and unforgettable sunsets. 4.9 acre site with over 300 ft of water frontage offers a truly nostalgic river lifestyle.

History notes, from previous owner, dates Paynes Creek Farm back to (circa 1652) and known as "Paynes Ordinary" (a shipping business) where tobacco was loaded and shipped to England. It is told the original house burned & present home is circa 1900. Large red barn is a fabulous replica of the farm days and offers great storage dependency. 3 large basement rooms with 2 kids bunk rooms and fabulous screened porch
