Specialized Properties: Land, Waterfront & Equine

Trusted Guidance for Unique Properties in the Greater Williamsburg Area

When it comes to buying or selling a specialized property, whether it's open land, a waterfront retreat, or an equestrian estate, you need more than a standard approach. These properties come with unique considerations, and that’s where my experience and local knowledge make all the difference.

With over 30 years in the real estate business and a lifelong passion for horses, the outdoors, and waterfront living, I bring both professional insight and personal experience to every transaction. Here’s how I help clients navigate these distinctive property types:

Equestrian Properties

Whether you’re looking for a private horse farm, a hobby barn, or a training facility, I understand the nuances that make an equine property work, for both humans and horses.

For Sellers:

  • Tailored marketing to horse owners and equestrian communities

  • Professional photography and drone video showcasing barns, paddocks, arenas, and trail access

  • Highlighting agricultural zoning, boarding potential, and land use options

  • Advertising in equestrian networks and specialty publications

For Buyers:

  • Help identifying properties with suitable acreage, zoning, and soil

  • Understanding your goals: boarding, training, breeding, or personal enjoyment

  • Connecting you with local contractors for fencing, barn repairs, or pasture management

  • Guidance on conservation easements, farm tax status, and HOA restrictions

Waterfront Properties

Whether you're drawn to a cozy riverside retreat or a deep-water home with boating access, waterfront properties offer something truly special, and they come with details that require the right expertise.

For Sellers:

  • Marketing that captures the lifestyle: boating, fishing, views, and sunsets

  • Drone footage and photography to show off shoreline, docks, and proximity to water

  • Guidance on permitting, flood zones, and water rights to answer buyer questions with confidence

  • Connections to local marine service providers to help prep your home for market

For Buyers:

  • Local insight into tides, navigation depths, and recreational access

  • Helping evaluate erosion risks, shoreline regulations, and insurance needs

  • Identifying homes with docks, lifts, or space to add them

  • Partnering with inspectors familiar with waterfront systems and structures

Land & Lots

Buying or selling land is a different kind of real estate, it requires vision, planning, and often, a lot of questions. I help bring clarity to the process.

For Sellers:

  • Drone flyovers to help potential buyers visualize the property’s layout and potential

  • Highlighting zoning, utilities, topography, and subdivision potential

  • Clear signage and mapping to make exploration easy

  • Connecting with developers, builders, and investors when appropriate

For Buyers:

  • Helping you assess the land’s suitability for your intended use: residential, agricultural, or investment

  • Guiding you through due diligence: soil tests, wetlands, well/septic feasibility, and access

  • Connecting you with reputable builders and helping you visualize your plan

  • Reviewing easements, covenants, and development guidelines
