I am excited to announce my new website at www.mathewsvawaterfront.com . I started it about a month ago, and it is going really well. It is a Real Estate website, and I am a real estate agent who happens to be a Realtor working under IsaBell K. Horsley Real Estate Ltd. .
I got my Real Estate license on Valentine's Day this year and things are still going a little slow but I am not at all discouraged, things will start to look up soon!
The town I live and work in is Mathews, in Mathews County, Va in the Northern Neck & Middle Peninsula area of Virginia. It is a quaint little town, with great people, with wonderful places to go and see. It is a very laid back rural town, but with all the amenities one would need. I would highly recommend Mathews for someone living in Richmond, Charlottesville, New Kent, West Point, Newport News, Williamsburg, Alexandria, Washington DC and most major cities in Virginia for your second home or weekend retreat. A good part of homeowners in town bought their homes here as a second home and ended up settling here. Even if you can't afford to buy a waterfront home in Mathews, VA, you can certainly qualify to buy an inland property or a home with deeded water access. You are never too far from the water in Mathews, there is always a public boat ramp or boat landing within a 5 to 10 minute drive from where you are.
There are currently 6 waterfront listings in Mathews, VA that are within my "comfortable zone" that are somewhat affordable, or below $350,000. There are two a little over that price range, for $369,000. Here are short descriptions of waterfront homes for sale in Mathews, below $370,000:
Waterfront homes in Mathews today start at $195,000 for a 3 Bedroom 2 Bath Modular home home in Horn Harbor, a fixer upper on Horn Harbor. It has a deck, a dock, and an above ground pool; it is very private, great weekend retreat or for year around living. The next one, price wise, would be a 3 Bedroom 2 Bath Ranch on the North River, on 2.5 acres that seems like a really great deal for the money, for $259,900. Can't beat those prices. The next one is a 2 story Farmhouse circa 1928 on Kirwan's Creek. 2 Bedrooms & 1 Bath on almost 3 acres! The listing price on the farmhouse is $298,500. There's another one in Port Haywood, close to that first listing (the $195,000 Modular home) listed at $310,000. It has 2 Bedrooms & 1 Bathroom, on Horn Harbor, open floor plan with vaulted ceiling, protected waterfront with a pier. There is also another one on the same road as this last listing and the first one, in Port Haywood, VA, about 6 minutes from Mathews Courthouse. The next waterfront listing in that neighborhood is listed at $319,000 it's a 2 Bedroom/2 Bath one story beach house, waterfront, on Horn Harbor, adorable little cottage with wonderful views, lots of decking, screened in porch, large rooms, docks and sunsets. Wonderful home for weekends or year around living. The next one is on Queen's Creek Cove. Listed at $339,000, it's a two bedroom/ two bathroom one and a half story Cape Cod that sits on over 2 acres! One bedroom and one bathroom are on the first floor with a den. It has a large deck and attached 2 car garage. The master bedroom is on the second floor and there is also a large bonus room over the garage. The average electric on the property is $75 a month.
A little over that price range ($0 - $350,000) are these two listings. The first one, listed at $369,000 is also on Queen's Creek, like the previous listing. It's another one and a half story Cape Cod. This one has 3 bedrooms and 2 and a half bathrooms. It was built in 2006, a brand new home. It's canal front on Queen's Creek, with 6' of water at low tide!! New home, never lived in, a dock already there! Almost an acre. The canal leads to Queen's Creek, just minutes from Gwynn's Island & Chesapeake Bay.
The next one also listed at $369,000 is another Cape Cod , two story, this time on Woodas Creek, off of the East River (hey I live on Woodas Creek too!!). It has three bedrooms and two bathrooms. Sunshine and creek breezes come with this cottage's old fashioned charm, the perfect and affordable weekend retreat for busy professionals. Just outside your door enjoy family barbecues and nature at its best on the large wraparound deck. Enjoy an evening spin in the boat, parked at your dock!
And that was all the strictly waterfront listings in " my price range" in our MLS system today. There are other properties with deeded water access, or waterview that are not listed as waterfront though.
