About 1425 Twiggs Ferry Rd
Wilton is a beautifully preserved and expertly restored historic property that appears today much as it did when Patriot William Churchill, II had this elegant manor home built in 1763. Encompassing approximately 26 acres with views of the Piankatank River, near present day Hartfield, this property consists of a 4,040 sq ft main house, a 19th-century restored log cabin and an original two-room dependency dating to the 1840's. A scenic meandering driveway, parklike setting and beautifully landscaped grounds set the tone for all that awaits inside. Quite possibly the best-preserved privately-owned pre-revolutionary home remaining in Virginia, Wilton is the perfect marriage of a fully intact colonial era home with the modern amenities, updates and conveniences that are so sought after today. Having undergone a thorough but sensitive restoration, the historic integrity of Wilton remains and sets it apart as a property without equal in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The original historic fabric, workmanship and ambiance of ages past still live at Wilton!
Conveniently located with easy access to Mathews, Gloucester, Urbanna, Deltaville, Irvington, Kilmarnock and the greater Northern Neck. Deep water marinas, world class dining, small towns, shopping, galleries, farmers markets and the open waters of the Chesapeake Bay await. An hour or less to Colonial Williamsburg and Richmond. Convenient to Virginia Beach and Washington, DC.
The offering of Wilton for purchase, represents a unique opportunity to purchase a truly rare and magnificently preserved and restored historic property, with a provenance that transcends the ages! Wilton is featured on the cover of "The Chesapeake House", published by The Colonial Williamsburg Foundation and in many other regional and national publications and magazines. It is an Icon among historic homes and one of the great historic crown jewels remaining in the Chesapeake Bay Region of Virginia.
