Location:
A very small number of prime waterfront estate settings along the northern branch of Old Plantation Creek have just been offered for sale. Located in Northampton County on the lower Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake Bay, these prime waterfront estate settings not only have very desirable features which set them apart from anything else on the Eastern Shore but their location is just spectacular.
First and
foremost, these home
sites are located on the southernmost Eastern Shore tributary of the Chesapeake
Bay — pristine pure Old Plantation Creek — which is one of the most
beautiful of all Eastern Shore waterfront locations. Old Plantation Creek is
located just south of Cape Charles,
the revitalized Victorian village at the southern tip of the Eastern Shore.
One of the reasons that Old Plantation Creek is so attractive is that it is
renewed continuously by the tidal ebb and flood of the Chesapeake Bay mixed with
its own year round fresh water flow. These
prime
waterfront estate settings in the Preserve are located within a protected cove,
so they are well-sheltered making them quite suitable for piers, docks and small
boats.
On the Eastern Shore of Virginia piers and docks are permitted only in bodies of water known as "creeks". However, unlike classic bubbling brooks of some other regions, Eastern Shore creeks are wide tidal estuaries which are continuously renewed by the daily tidal ebb and flow of the Chesapeake Bay supplemented by the year 'round fresh water flow from their parent creeks. At the Preserve you will be able to have your own private dock and boat from which to fish, crab or just explore the authentic Eastern Shore. Unlike some other building lots which are subject to flooding, at The Preserve you will be right at the water’s edge yet still on high dry land where you will be safe and secure.
The Preserve is an unspoiled wonder only a mile or so from the quaint and recently revitalized town of Cape Charles at almost the very southern tip of the Eastern Shore of Virginia putting it just a short drive across the 22 mile Chesapeake Bay Bridge-Tunnel to the major metropolitan area of Virginia Beach / Norfolk / Newport News.
And
that short drive is on a four lane divided highway with only the unspoiled
Chesapeake Bay as a backdrop. Indeed, there is not even a single cross
street or stoplight. Driving to metropolitan Virginia Beach from your
estate at the Preserve on Old Plantation Creek would be like taking a short
cruise at sea — relaxing and invigorating
.
Then, as if all this weren't enough, these estate settings are located just minutes from the new, world-class Bay Creek Golf and Marina Resort, comprised of two championship 18 hole golf courses (one by Arnold Palmer and one by Jack Nicholas), a deep water marina, dockside shops, and gourmet restaurants. However, the privacy and seclusion available at The Preserve on Old Plantation Creek cannot be bought at any price within Bay Creek’s densely developed grounds
