The home is set on the bank of the Diascund, a tributary of the Chickahominy and James rivers. It is partly secluded on a 2-acre property about 15 miles west of Williamsburg. It has a beautiful view of a wide expanse of the tidal river and a 75-foot pier threads through Cypress trees. The dock at the pier’s end can be used for swimming and fishing in the river. The river can be explored with a canoe or Johnboat at the property. Fishing equipment is available in the house. There are no stinging jellyfish, and swimming is good all summer.
