Investment Highlights
- Dock & Bulkhead
- 300' of shoreline (Protected Harbor Frontage)
- Grandfathered Building Footprint Near Water
- Redevelopment / Water-Dependent Potential
- Former Oyster House Site
- Navigable Water Access
Executive Summary
Former oyster house site with potential continuation of water-dependent use under nonconforming use provisions. Lancaster County zoning ordinance specifically provides exemptions for oyster houses from standard abandonment rules (buyer to verify), creating a unique opportunity for redevelopment, restoration, or adaptive reuse.
Navigable, protected harbor setting offers calm conditions for docking and vessel use, with access to the Rappahannock River and Chesapeake Bay. Property may be suitable for private compound, marina-style use, or water-dependent commercial/residential hybrid, subject to county approval.
Existing improvements include dock and shoreline stabilization. Flat, usable lot with established access and surrounding waterfront development.
Property is zoned R3 with Waterfront Residential Overlay (W-1), which imposes significant restrictions on new construction near the water—making the existing footprint and prior use particularly valuable (buyer to verify all uses and approvals).
Sold as-is. 3D tour available.

Description
Rare protected harbor waterfront opportunity featuring approx. 300’ of shoreline, existing dock, bulkhead, and a grandfathered building footprint positioned near the water—an increasingly difficult configuration to replicate under current Chesapeake Bay and waterfront overlay regulations (buyer to verify). Former oyster house site with potential continuation of water-dependent use under nonconforming use provisions (buyer to verify), offering a unique opportunity for redevelopment, restoration, or adaptive reuse in a highly constrained regulatory environment. Navigable, protected harbor setting provides calm conditions for docking and vessel use, with brackish waters supporting both freshwater and saltwater fishing. Direct access to the Rappahannock River and approximately 25 miles by boat to the Chesapeake Bay. Existing building footprint is approximately 3,412 sq ft and positioned near the shoreline, a placement that may be difficult or impossible to replicate under current regulations. No significant mapped wetlands per National Wetlands Inventory (buyer to verify). Property is zoned R3 with Waterfront Residential Overlay (W-1), which imposes strict limitations on new waterfront construction—further enhancing the potential value of the existing footprint and prior water-dependent use. Property sold as-is. 3D tour available.
