I have been remiss in gathering my latest Real Estate Roundup, so instead today I am sharing a magnificent 19th century Virginia estate. Lisburne is a stunningly beautiful 70+ acre historic, waterfront and equestrian estate in Lower Gloucester County, Virginia. It is located just 11 minutes from Historic Yorktown and 30 minutes or less to the heart of Colonial Williamsburg.
The circa 1810 2 ½ story Georgian Manor has been restored with elegant and spacious architect designed additions (1964). Glorious gardens feature mature boxwood, towering magnolia and azalea gardens in a park-like setting. Interior features include original heart pine floors, exquisite mantels and moldings, large country kitchen, raised paneling, elegantly appointed living spaces, high ceilings, and more. The Manor house is accessed through a stately gated entrance that sets the tone for the remainder of the property. Entrance drive is flanked by stables, formal cutting, a two-story 3-bay garage, tennis courts, pool, pool house, and what remains of the original ice-house (believed to predate the manor house). Previously known as Pleasant Point, it is one of the most enchanting and lovely historic, waterfront and equestrian estate properties remaining in the Chesapeake Bay Region of Virginia!

I mean… the gardens…
That’s a bargain for so much house. The interiors are perfect! They knew just what to do to this house. Wow.
Amazing value! Gardens are stunning!
I’ll take it for the barn oh yes
Having lived in Williamsburg for many years ( and planning to retire there in a few years), I am very familiar with this beautiful estate. There are quite a few historic estates along the many waterfront coves in Gloucester county and Mathews county, it’s neighbor, although one rarely gets to see them as they are set back on the waterfront. That’s why boating is such fun…lovely homes and gardens everywhere! Thank you for this splendid tour and memories of our old home town.
So incredibly authentic colonial interiors. What a treasure! Hope someone doesn’t buy it and paint everything gray.
