Property Description

Historic Waterfront Cottage Retreat! Nestled on 1.69 acres with expansive frontage on Lake Jean and the spillway to the Western Branch of the Elizabeth River, this one-of-a-kind property offers a lifestyle few will ever experience. Originally part of a hunting lodge estate dating back to the 1800s, the quality-built home was built in 1955 and thoughtfully updated over the years. Enjoy panoramic water views, abundant wildlife, and majestic magnolias in this bird watcher's paradise. Fish from the shore, relax in the gazebo, or entertain on the expansive outdoor living areas. Features include geothermal HVAC, hardwood and ceramic tile floors, 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, potential for a 3rd bedroom, private well, sprinkler system, shed, and detached 2-car garage with electricity, cable, heated/cooled bonus space, and plumbing; an idea for an in-law suite, studio, office, or guest retreat. A rare waterfront sanctuary where memories are made for generations. Includes both parcels, 2904 & 2906 Tanbark Ln, totaling 1.69 acres (PINs 07710110 & 07710120).
