James City County - Williamsburg, VA
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. Currently, it is primarily managed for hunting and wildlife, although many additional recreational opportunities exist. The property has been deed restricted to protect Stonehouse's environmental and scenic resources. Flexibility for future owners has also been preserved, and nineteen homes and associated improvements can be built, as well as 130,000 square feet of commercial space. As a result, Stonehouse Preserve can accommodate a range of future ownership scenarios, be it a family compound, best-in-class recreational retreat, or a small-scale, conservation-oriented community.
Complementing Stonehouse's flexibility are its extensive timber resources and overall acreage. Riverfront tracts of this size are rare on the Virginia Peninsula, and the property's low carrying costs make it an excellent long-term, sustainable investment opportunity and 1031 candidate.

The Preserve Tract spans 2,317+/- acres and is located within an hour of many of Virginia's larger cities, just 15 minutes northwest of Williamsburg. The property features approximately four-and-a-half miles of frontage on Ware Creek, which flows into the York River shortly after it leaves the property. The creek forms the property's northern boundary, and on the other side is the Ware Creek Wildlife Management Area (WMA), which adds an open space buffer and significant neighboring wildlife habitat. The land is a diverse mix of established upland timber, deep ravines, creeks, and brackish marsh, all currently managed for hunting and wildlife. In addition, miles of established roads and trails weave throughout the property and provide the framework for additional uses.
There is a conservation easement on the property that was drafted with flexibility for future owners in mind. Fifteen homes and associated improvements, including docks on Ware Creek, are permitted, as well as 130,000 square feet of commercial space.
