WHY DO WE SHOW EXPIRED LISTINGS?
The property: We have a very private beachfront (sand, shells, pre-historic sharks teeth) property of approximately 12 acres that we are constantly evolving towards a multi-family nature/adventure retreat. The property is wooded and has a diverse topography ideal for nature integrated structures (decks on hill sides, tree houses, curved walking paths, outdoor games, etc). We currently host families visiting the Williamsburg, Jamestown, Yorktown historical areas and our busy season is summer. We have weekend bookings in fall and spring. We have several outdoor projects that are ideal for off season work (fall-spring). These projects require carpentry skills (deck construction, fencing) and other exterior landscape type abilities (small dry-stack retaining walls, gravel paths).
The accommodations: We have an area away from the house that is ideal for an RV. It is flat and graveled and can also accommodate your personal vehicle. Water and power will be provided but we currently do not have a septic system for an RV (possibly a project we can consider adding). WiFi is not provided as the un-plug is part of our message/mission, however, there is cell service. There is a full size washer and dryer in the house and you are welcome to use this weekly when the house is vacant. Additionally, you are welcome to enjoy the grounds and the beach and make use of the kayaks, SUPs and canoe during vacancies (during the week in fall and spring and all week in winter). Also, there is an abundance of attractions and historical sites and culture to be experienced while your here.
The ideal fit: I think a couple would be the best fit as we do not reside at the property and for safety reasons it would be good to not work alone. Most of the time you will have the property all to yourself. The topography is steep in some areas (the house is 70’ above the river) and therefore the couple should be fit and able to enjoy the outdoor work with little risk of injury. Vehicular access to most areas of the property is limited so materials must be carried by hand to some projects.
