A public boat ramp and pier, a short 3 blocks away, is the access to the Yeocomico River and some of the best crabbing and fishing in the world. This home, located in the historic town of Kinsale, provides a perfect haven to escape to on the weekends or live in full time with quick access to DC, just 2.5 hours away or Fredericksburg, short of 90 minutes away. Kinsale, part of Virginia s Northern Neck, was established in 1706 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. A deep water harbor, it served as a port for trade for hundreds of years. 138 Greathouse Road is built on what was originally part of the Bailey property. The Bailey s built their home, the Greathouse, in 1667 and it continues to be occupied by descendants of the Bailey family. The cemetery located nearby is the Bailey family cemetery and is still used today. The view from 138 Greathouse Road includes a view of a working grain elevator owned by Purdue Farms, Inc. During harvest season you can see the tugboats bring in the empty barges then watch as they are filled with local grains and moved again by the tugs. Kinsale is on the Chesapeake Bay Wine trail with multiple wineries within just a couple of miles. Stratford Hall, home of the Lee family including General Robert E. Lee, is approximately 25 miles away and is a fun place to spend the day. They host multiple events open to the public. Westmoreland State Park is also about 25 miles away and is a wonderful place to swim, picnic and hike and the best part of all hunting for sharks teeth and fossils that wash up on the beach. Nearby towns of Kilmarnock, Reedville, and Urbana are just a short drive and in addition to having great restaurants and shopping options, they host multiple festivals throughout the year with a focus on the incredible seafood that comes from this area. Crabs abound in the waters around Kinsale and many residents take daily trips out in their boats to crab for dinner! Come enjoy the best the Northern Neck has to offer!
