about this property
Cherry Walk, circa 1781 built for Carter Croxton of Revolutionary War fame, is sited on a lovely knoll and built upon a high English Basement. The main house features handsome flemish bond brickwork, a wood shake gambrel roof, and two elegant chimneys that flank both sides of this 18th century Tidewater Cape. Original doors, floors, hardware and moldings. 95+ acres of pristine farmland, including mature hardwoods and pine forests, which provide abundant habitats for all types of waterfowl, upland birds, wild turkey and wildlife. In recent years, the current owners have embarked upon a sensitive restoration of the main house, fencing and pollinator gardens. Water features found on the property include natural streams which meander through part of the woodland with wood duck habitats and a farm pond. An in-ground salt pool with new salt system provides a wonderful focal point in the garden and a relaxing respite on summer days. A rare and remarkable assemblage of historic dependencies original to the property, offer a rare glimpse into farm life in the late 18th century. Located in the Millers Tavern Rural Historic District of Essex County, the offering of this very handsome home presents a unique buying opportunity to those seeking a fully renovated turn-key oasis. Minutes to Wineries, Medical Facilities, Antique Shops, Boutiques, Fine Dining, Historic Sites, Museums, Marinas and so much more. An easy drive to Richmond, Williamsburg, the Northern Neck and Fredericksburg. Convenient to Washington, D.C.
