For those seeking an unspoiled coastal retreat, a beautiful property located in Accomac, Virginia, offers a rare opportunity to own a spectacular seaside estate without the crowds and high prices often found elsewhere.

Developer Ben Benson, who grew up on Cape Cod, spent years searching the East Coast for a place that retained the charm, privacy and natural beauty of decades past. His search led him to Virginia’s historic Eastern Shore, where he crafted a traditional seaside compound on a three-acre deepwater peninsula, complete with a private pier, hydraulic boat lift, and floating dock. The estate also includes a separate five-acre oceanfront recreational lot on a nearby island.

The thoughtfully designed compound features a four-bedroom main home, two cottages and a stone gardening shed. Rose-lined walkways, mature trees, flowering bushes, and brick-lined organic gardens enhance the picturesque setting. With the Atlantic Gulf Stream just offshore, the region enjoys a long beach season, mild winters and some of the sunniest weather on the East Coast.
