Stonehouse Preserve spans 2,712+/- acres on the banks of the York River and Ware Creek. The property lies just 15 minutes northwest of Williamsburg and within an hour of many of Virginia's larger cities. The convenient location is balanced by the property's privacy, which is further enhanced by its York River frontage and the surrounding public lands. The 2,600-acre Ware Creek Wildlife Management Area borders Stonehouse to the north, while the nearly 3,000-acre York River State Park is a stone's throw from the property's southern boundary. The land is a diverse mix of upland timber, deep ravines, numerous creeks, and expansive water frontage, which together form a dynamic property filled with potential.
