Tucked away on 1.8 beautifully wooded acres, this one-of-a-kind Hampstead property offers peace, privacy, and water views in a serene natural setting. Surrounded by established pecan, peach, oak, magnolia, and other mature trees, this property features its own private freshwater pond and common kayak access to Virginia Creek–perfect for both relaxation and outdoor adventure. This spacious 2,493 sq.ft. home features 3 bedrooms & 3 full baths, thoughtfully laid out across 2 levels. On the 1st floor, you’re welcomed by a formal living room and formal dining room, ideal for entertaining. The kitchen is a standout, with a butcher block island, gas range, upgraded refrigerator, new dishwasher, under-cabinet lighting, pantry, and a hanging pot rack for the home chef. Just off the kitchen is a huge utility/laundry room, large enough to house freezers, canning shelves, or additional pantry space. A few steps down leads to the inviting sunken family room, complete with a gas fireplace and picturesque views of Virginia Creek. 2 bedrooms & 2 full baths complete the downstairs, while upstairs you’ll find a large, private suite with ensuite bath–a peaceful retreat all its own. Additional highlights include a 500-gallon buried propane tank that fuels the gas stove, tankless water heater, whole-house emergency generator, & cozy fireplace. Enjoy the 20′ x 8′ screened porch, perfectly positioned to take in the water views and surrounding wildlife. A detached 24′ x 32′ 2-story garage offers even more space, complete with a heated & cooled recreation room upstairs and generous storage below. For those needing workspace or creative space, an attached studio & workshop–both climate-controlled–provide flexible options. Also a 12′ x 31′ covered parking area, ideal for your RV or boat. With the rare combination of acreage, water views, functional space, and peaceful surroundings, this property offers the best of coastal living.
