PREMIER SPORTING ESTATE

Wharton Place, a 100.4-acre seaside Sporting Estate with 2,500' of private shoreline. There are 59 tillable acres, 20 acres of mature timber, and 12 acres of tidal marsh - all united by a thriving ecosystem alive with abundant whitetail, turkey, and waterfowl populations. The 19th-Century Federal style home, with some notable Georgian influences, is 4,410 sq. ft. and regarded as one of the finest period homes on the Eastern Shore of Virginia. Auxiliary buildings include corn crib, smoke house, shed, and dock house. The barrier islands and ocean are accessible by boat from the private dock. The landscape and gardens are similarly a notable feature of the property. Under the guidance of landscape architect Chip Callaway, the gardens were refreshed and expanded between 2004 and 2008, and have been twice featured in Garden & Gun. Brick walkways, meandering shell paths, and terraced hillsides connect and frame a series of gardens from different eras. Wharton Place is a premier waterfront estate where enduring landscape and history quietly converge.
