BARRETT'S FERRY LANDING
There is a place just west of
historic Williamsburg, Virginia where the land slopes
gently to the shores of the great Rivers of History where
America began. That land is now ready for you to
make your own history while living in harmony with the
River. That land is waiting for you at Barretts
Ferry Landing. Seven exclusive waterfront estate properties have been created from the forest and fields granted to William Barrett in 1648, each with frontage on the River and a distinct character forged from the past 360 years of living on and caring for this land. Barrett's Ferry Landing is located in the Jamestown District of James City County with a Williamsburg address. Zoning is A-1 Agricultural, which allows the keeping of horses, as well as the construction of docks, outbuildings, and estate-quality homes. This waterfront property is on the historic John Tyler highway, just west of Jamestown and 7 miles from downtown Williamsburg and the College of William and Mary. Drive west toward Richmond on State
Route 5 and Barrett's Ferry Landing is on the left as you
approach the Chickahominy River. |
