Mobjack Bay Country
Mobjack Bay Country is well known for its historical houses and the magnetic allure of the attractions of open water. Live as if you’re on vacation, enjoying water sports, a magnificent view, and fresh air.
This property sits on the East River, which drains into Mobjack Bay, connected to Chesapeake Bay, and then, into the Atlantic Ocean. If sailing’s your passion, you’ll like that there’s no bridge or electric lines to get in your way. For day sailing, enjoy Mobjack Bay, often considered a salt water lake. You won’t be dragged about by currents.

Plenty of Space and Privacy
In this video, you’ll take a drive to the property, follow along the lot line, and explore the land’s features. This home has the distinction of not only sitting on deep water but also consisting of acreage and a historic Virginia farmhouse.
You’ll also discover the property’s end-of-the road location at the river, giving you all the privacy you crave. You’ll explore the mature woods, the fruit trees, a stand of old magnolia trees, as well as open spaces where you can garden.
In addition, you’ll come upon the point of land – partly owned by the property – that juts out into the East River. This is historic Hicks Wharf, for which the road is named. Hicks Wharf used to incorporate a steamboat landing and a post office. The property was the home of the Hicks Wharf postmaster from 1873 to 1933.
