Description
Welcome to Snowden—an extraordinarily rare offering that truly defines a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Properties of this scale, beauty, and legacy seldom come to market—and once they’re gone, they may never be available again. Just seven minutes from downtown Fredericksburg, this breathtaking 200+ acre estate features over a mile of Rappahannock River frontage, delivering unmatched natural beauty, privacy, and potential. Perched atop a hill, a charming residence captures sweeping panoramic views in every direction, immersing you in the serenity of your own private retreat. The main home offers three bedrooms, one full and one half bath, and is enhanced by hardwood flooring, abundant windows, a cozy wood-burning stove, and tastefully updated kitchen, bath and conservatory—all freshly painted and move-in ready. Though moments from town, the setting feels worlds away, offering complete privacy and a romantic, estate-like ambiance. Beautiful low maintenance landscaping surrounds the home and with generous use of flagstones providing that old world feel. Steps away is an oversized  detached two-car garage with workbenches and side access door. Above it sits a large sun-filled guest quarters with half bath, currently used as a light-filled office—adding versatility and comfort, perfect for remote work or hosting guests. This guest quarter has its own private entrance using a custom steel staircase and with its own stylish balcony with lovely views. The main home sits on approximately 13 acres, presenting the unique option to subdivide or reside comfortably while designing and building your dream waterfront estate home.  Equestrian and hobby enthusiasts will appreciate the 20x40 barn with a 10-foot lean-to, as well as a nearby greenhouse—ideal for cultivating your passions. Two separate entrances from Route 3, including a paved circular drive, provide convenience and accessibility. Recent improvements include a new garage roof and HVAC system (2020), and a new septic system (2021), ensuring peace of mind for years to come. The property has been well loved and well kept but is now time for new stewards. The land itself is a stunning blend of open farmland, mature trees, wetlands, and expansive riverfront—an ever-changing landscape of beauty and possibility. Zoned Agricultural and subject to a conservation easement, this property preserves its natural splendor while offering exceptional opportunity. Snowden is more than a property—it’s a legacy. A rare convergence of location, scale, waterfront, and beauty. An unparalleled outdoor paradise where you can truly have it all!
