Escape to one of the most picturesque islands on the Chesapeake Bay and enjoy a brilliant light-filled home where nature, location, architecture and activities for all generations create an unparalleled offering 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 at your personal island paradise -- a mere 60 minutes from Williamsburg and Yorktown, with nearby Richmond, Norfolk, Newport News and Virginia Beach within just 60-90 minutes and the DC-area only 3 hours away. Local restaurants, groceries and specialty markets and pickleball 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.
