Perfectly perched on a bluff along the south bank of the Piankatank River, “Providence" is a landmark estate tracing back to origins of a land patent granted in 1652 by Colonel George Ludlow. Believed to be built in 1754 by William Fitchett, this stunning Georgian Colonial w/flemish bond brickwork unfolds across 123 acres & 1,100’ of sandy beach shoreline.
Over time, Providence has been shaped by a small number of dedicated stewards. The main residence boasts generously proportioned paneled rooms & high ceilings, two symmetrical wing additions c1980s, currently boasts ~5,820sqft of gracious living space & picturesque water views. Entering the front-to-back foyer, on the left is the living room w/marble fireplace, custom millwork & built-ins leading to the first floor primary wing complete w/fp, rose quartz ensuite bath & walk-in cedar closet. On the right is the dining room with shell vitrines, delft tile fp & powder room. Passing through a wet bar w/butler’s pantry is the eat-in kitchen featuring a custom copper range hood, oversized fp, side keeping room & additional powder room. The 2nd level hosts 3 ensuite guest suites & 3rd level hosts 2 additional ensuite guest suites ~ all with river views. An english basement showcases a den w/original beamed ceiling, fp, built-ins, exterior access, half bath & utility rooms. The grounds include remnants of a Charles Gillette garden, newer gunite pool w/600sqft pool house, smoke & pump houses, 2,200sqft 3-bay garage w/guest quarters, 1,500sqft 3BR river cottage, 1,300sqft farmhouse & 2,400sqft barn. At the water’s edge is a ~285’ dock accessing the deep-water channel leading 9 miles out to the Chesapeake Bay.
From sunrise fishing & sunset sailing to crisp days of hunting & warm days of gardening, this is a lifestyle defined by rhythms of coastal Virginia. Within reach of local marinas, yacht & country clubs, Providence offers both privacy & a quietly vibrant social backdrop while proximity to Norfolk, Richmond & Washington, DC ensures convenience without compromise.
