Imagine living the good life on the banks of the Rappahannock.

A private bay and 70 fertile acres of farmland are just two of the main selling points of this historic property known as "Nanzatico." Built in 1765, the main house has been carefully updated over the years and it's just waiting for its next lucky owner.

Driving up the gravel lane, you'll be welcomed by a breathtaking view of this classic Virginia home and an incomparable waterfront backdrop.

17299 Nanzatico Lane in King George, Virginia, is currently listed for $2,500,000 by Franky Hardy Sotheby's International Realty. It is located just 90 minutes from downtown D.C. in beautiful King George County. The property includes several outbuildings and over 70 acres of mixed-use land that has already been tilled for agricultural use in several large fields. You simply have to see it to believe it.

Inside, the home has a decidedly elegant yet cozy appeal. Receiving rooms are divided by open archways and flow organically throughout the first floor. Discreet doors close off the formal dining room from the noise and chaos of the adjacent kitchen when you're entertaining.

Though the listing shows up as a 3-bedroom home, an additional guest house provides an extra bedroom and kitchen for your out-of-town guests. A free-standing garage also has workshop space for those bigger projects. With this many acres of land, you could easily build even more structures to fit your concept of a dream home.
