Overview

Do you want to own a historic house? George Washington dined and socialized at the once-bustling tavern located in the English basement of the historic home, Windsor Shades, more than 21 times, as documented in his diary. This Tidewater landmark, bordered by water on two sides, has transitioned from a 17th-century crown grant into one of the most significant Revolutionary War sites in Virginia. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and the Virginia Landmarks Registry. Nestled on the Pamunkey River in King William County, just above West Point, the property encompasses over 13+ acres of natural beauty. It features a lake formed by a dammed creek on the property's front, and the back of the home offers 1,405+/- feet of river frontage, making it an ideal location for fly fishing in the brackish, tidal waters. The architecture of Windsor Shades has been meticulously restored and modernized, preserving the home's character. It includes massive Flemish-bond brick chimneys at both ends, original hardwood floors, multiple original windows, extensive millwork throughout, exposed brick walls, and, in 1999, two wings designed by a Colonial Williamsburg architect, G. Allen Morledge, were added to either end of the home. In 1753, Ruffin's Ferry began operating on this property, and Windsor Shades became an inn and tavern, serving travelers along the river bend. It features the largest interior cooking fireplace (8 feet wide) and original brick floors. With its natural beauty, elegance, and history, Windsor Shades is truly unmatched. The property also includes a deep-water boat dock with a lift, a guest cottage, a cedar barn, a three-car garage with workspace, a potting shed, a chicken coop, a gazebo with screens overlooking the water, raised garden beds, a boxwood maze, and much more. The seller requests 24 hours' notice and a pre-approval letter before showing.
