About this property
Dogwood Lane *Life is better on the River*
Welcome to Dogwood Lane! Originally built in 1774, this fully renovated farmhouse offers all the historic charm updated with modern convenience. Located on the private, sandy banks of the Piankatank River, this spacious and well-appointed getaway is perfect for visitors of all ages. Whether you like to relax or explore, swim or hike, shop or read, there is something here for everyone. Come and see why we agree that life is better on the river!
The space
**INTERMITTENT CONSTRUCTION SCHEDULED APRIL 2024 - AUGUST 2024**
A separate, two-story garage is scheduled to be built 100 ft from the front of the house. This will not interfere with guest access or use of the property. Please inquire with any questions.
_________________________________
Three-level river home with 4 bedrooms and 2.5 bathrooms. The first level includes one bedroom w/queen bed, a twin daybed in the sunroom, one full bathroom, and one half bath. The second level includes a bedroom with a king bed, a bedroom with a full bed and twin bed, and a 2nd full bathroom with a washer and dryer. The third floor is an expansive open-concept space, perfect for kids and other large groups including three twin beds with adjoining twin trundles and a king-size bed. Total sleeping capacity:16
Additionally, this home has everything a chef could ask for in a fully stocked kitchen including a large storage pantry, an outdoor grill, and several small cooking appliances. The property has wifi that is reliable enough for working purposes but may slow depending on the number of guests utilizing it at any given time. There are three TVs at the house- one in the downstairs bedroom, one in the main living room, and one on the third floor- all are set up with Rokus.
Relax and visit in the open-concept living room and kitchen. Cuddle up with a good book on the daybed in the private sunroom. Sip a cup of coffee or a cocktail from a rocking chair on the 2nd-floor outdoor deck. Gather for meals off the grill on the lower patio or sunbathe peacefully on the private dock. On sunny days during low tide, this property truly shines. As the tide recedes, the sandy riverbed floor is exposed, resulting in shallow, ankle-deep pools, great for the smallest of explorers. Less than 200 yards down the shoreline, there is a public beach that is enjoyed by residents. Shallow river inlets surround the area and can be explored by kayak, where local wildlife abounds.
