About this property
Calling all hunters, almost 33 more acres across the street used for hunting.
Welcome to Clifton House where your stay should be a most comfortable, relaxing and, hopefully, stress releasing experience. Located on over 5 acres of well kept grounds alive with wildlife and expansive waterviews of the creek and the Chesapeake Bay beyond , this elegant 4,000 sq ft, 4 bedroom, 2½ bath house sleeps 8 comfortably with large, high ceiling rooms, beautifully refinished wide-plank pine, wood parquet flooring, all tastefully decorated by the owners wife.
The 1st floor features a large kitchen with a fireplace and eat-in breakfast room, living/family room casually furnished, library/den, game room with pool table, and master suite with a queen. Up the flight of stairs with the original walnut banister to the 2nd floor reveals 2 large bedrooms with queens and the 3rd bedroom with 2 twins. Servicing guests' needs is a full bathroom off the hallway. This gracious property offers amenities that include an in-ground pool, freshwater pond, screened-in porch, open deck with table & chairs, gas grill. With over 1,000 ft of water frontage, there is a dock with deep water that can accommodate a variety of boats-- sail, yacht, multihull. The house, saltwater pool, lawn and well kept grounds is an ideal gathering place for a large family, group and can easily accommodate large events/venue, weddings in a beautiful waterfront setting.
This stately residence on Chesconessex Creek on Virginia's Eastern Shore dates to 1835. Known as Clifton the property was patented in 1668 to Colonel John Wise and was a plantation of over 750 acres surveyed. It is tradition that Col. Wise had built the first Clifton, naming it after his English home (A75B, pg 948 in Whitelaws). A graveyard exists today located NE of the house and contains numerous tombstones of the Wise family descendants.
