About 1493 John Tyler Memorial Hwy

Inspired by the timeless coastal architecture of Martha's Vineyard, this extraordinary waterfront estate was custom crafted by luxury builder John Sawin and offers a combination of acreage, deep-water access, and modern construction rarely found in Williamsburg. Perfectly positioned on 5.4 private acres where the Chickahominy River meets the James River, the property enjoys breathtaking sunsets and panoramic water views. Designed for both everyday living and exceptional entertaining, the resort-style backyard features a heated saltwater pool with tanning ledge, illuminated water features, automatic retractable cover, expansive hardscaping, outdoor kitchen, firepit, and a covered porch with Phantom retractable screens overlooking the river. Inside, soaring ceilings welcome you into a thoughtfully designed floor plan highlighted by a private study with custom built-ins, elegant dining room, and a spectacular great room with coffered ceilings, stone fireplace, and walls of windows framing the waterfront. The chef's kitchen showcases dual quartzite islands, Wolf appliances, farmhouse sink, and premium finishes throughout. The first-floor primary suite offers a luxurious retreat with spa-inspired bath, while four additional guest suites, a loft overlooking the river, and a dedicated theater featuring a Sony 4K projector and surround sound provide exceptional accommodations for family and guests. Quality extends well beyond what is seen, with structural steel beam construction, Andersen windows and doors, Hardie Plank siding, spray foam insulation, encapsulated crawl space, and an over-engineered alternative septic system reflecting the home's uncompromising craftsmanship. At the water's edge, a composite pier with two boat lifts provides immediate access to the Chickahominy and James Rivers, making this an exceptional opportunity for boating enthusiasts. Opportunities to own a newer custom waterfront estate of this caliber—with acreage, deep water, and uncompromising construction—are extraordinarily rare.
