This nostalgic Piankatank River cottage offers one of the area’s most desirable features, a private sandy beach with sweeping, expansive views and more than 200 feet of pristine waterfront. The protected, riprapped shoreline and gentle walk to the water create the perfect setting for swimming, kayaking, and watching passing boats. In addition to the 1.04-acre waterfront parcel, a wooded 0.34-acre lot across the drive provides space for a future guest house or garage. This is a rare opportunity for a buyer to add their personal touch to a classic river cottage with timeless character and endless potential. Inside, heart pine paneling adds warmth to the spacious living room, where built-ins frame a brick fireplace and a large picture window showcases the river. The open-concept layout has a kitchen with traditional pine cabinetry and bar seating. The dining area features brick flooring, beamed ceilings, & sliding doors that open to the screened porch. Ideal for entertaining, the screened porch offers ample space for dining or simply enjoying the tranquil views. The cottage includes three bedrooms & two full baths. The waterside bedroom is bright and filled with natural light and river views, while another waterfront room could serve as an office or an additional sleeping area. Recent updates include the installation of a new Trane heat pump (2024), restoration of the attic and crawlspace, and septic system maintenance. If you’ve been dreaming of a coastal retreat with stunning views and a private beach where you can dip your toes in the sand, this property is ready for you to make it your own.
