Anderson Bay
Your experts in real estate on Virginia's Chesapeake Bay

This spacious, nicely elevated, and maturely wooded point is located in a small, 6-lot subdivision with just a few protective covenants, and offers a safe anchorage on Seniors Creek, just off the Western Branch of the Corrotoman River.

Build your house up on the brow of this knoll for panoramic water views looking both upstream and down. Run down your back lawn and out the point, way out into the creek, the perfect spot for a pair of Adirondack chairs. From the end of the point a short staircase could take you down from the 10-foot height to the shoreline, where the pier will go. The rugged terrain gives you lake-like views, with a mountainous feel that is enhanced by the native Mountain Laurel which blankets the hillsides with white blossoms in the springtime. The building site is well out of the flood zone, at an elevation of 32' above sea level. This lot faces north, an orientation that is favored by artists for the lighting effects on the opposite shore, with downstream views to the east for spectacular autumn moon rises over the water.

The Seller has paid for a new survey and Site Plan that was approved by Lancaster County, allowing a residence to encroach within the 100' buffer, up to 62' back from the water. The Site Plan may be converted into a Zoning Permit that is good for five years. There is a building envelope that is 80 feet wide by 75 feet deep for the main dwelling. The Health Department has issued a Certification Letter for a 4-bedroom engineered system and a private well. A gravel driveway has already been installed. The neighborhood has underground powerlines. This lot is ready to build on!



Exclusively Offered for $325,000

SOLD on 10/28/05 @ $298,000

Looking downstream you can see a neighboring sailboat.

This is a view across the creek from the finger point. You can just see an A-frame cottage that is located in the Corrotoman-by-the-Bay subdivision.

Looking upstream you have tranquil views, too.

This shared road takes you back up the hill to the state road. The utilities are located underground to enhance the approach.

This elegant home is on the lot next door, and is just barely glimpsed from the driveway on Lot 4; this is a telephoto shot.

The marine chart shows 5-6' MLW. Senior Creek empties into the Western Branch of the Corrotoman River. .
