The Most Beautiful Waterfront Homes on the Market Now
The summer months always inspire me to dream about waterfront living. Whether it’s an east coast estate with a sprawling lawn that meets the water in a picture perfect way, or a charming Bahamian villa, waterfront homes are simply idyllic. Here, I am sharing a few of my favorite properties that are on the market now. Let’s go take a look!
7979 E Boulevard Drive | Alexandria, Virginia
Offered at $60,000,000
Once in multiple generations does a waterfront estate like River View become available for purchase. Sited on 16.5 acres of George Washington's original Mount Vernon estate, a visit to River View reminds us of why Washington boldly proclaimed, 'I had rather be on my farm than emperor of the world.' This one-of-a-kind property, and it's sublime aspect, uniquely had the power to calm the mind of America's founding father. Now, fully reconstituted, rebuilt and modernized, it is likely that President Washington would approve of this 21st century version of River View.
The Beach House | Oil Nut Bay | Virgin Gorda | BVI
Offered at $19,500,000
Echoing waves of modern beach living, this striking six-bedroom beachfront villa allows you to escape in style while being mere steps from the sparkling waters of Oil Nut Bay. A family-friendly layout incorporates all bedrooms under one roof, punctuated by two large master bedrooms, each including a private outdoor shower garden. Furthermore, four additional bedrooms with en suite bathrooms wrap around the villa.
Elounda, Daedalus | Crete, Greece
Offered at $14,800,000
Open the door to Daedalus and feel instantly at home. A warm and inviting ambience welcomes you into a superior combination of timeless, elegant luxury. On a private estate, sweeping vistas of glorious sea views and distant mountains show the authentic beauty of Crete. A sun deck leads down straight into the sea and you can spend hours down here, under the shade, in and out of the water at leisure.
Wonderfully presented in a beautiful location Daedalus will charm from the very first moment you step inside. From the quality of the construction, to the striking architecture and creamy stone facade, this is a home with great visual appeal. You feel as if you never want to leave.
