History

A Forestry report map done in 1965 notes the remains of a "brick chimney" and, at another location, the remains of a house "circa 1865" as well as the site of a "mill", towards the back of the property and "old road before Rt. 218 built Civil War days" in the back of the property, further away from Rt. 218. 

Below, is a sketch from 1965 showing location of remains of old house, mill, and brick chimney.   The sketch was done by the Virginia Department of Forestry.  The land was divided into sections for the differing types of woodland, which reflected the differing soils and topography.  Note the plateau areas punctuated by the stream valleys.

Overall, it is about a 15 minute drive from the property to the City of Fredericksburg.

From City of Fredericksburg, the Blue-Grey Parkway to Rt. 3 East, go 7.2 miles east on Rt. 3 to a left turn on Rt. 603 at the traffic light at Sealston, then 2.8 miles to Rt. 218; make a right turn on Rt. 218, go 1.6 miles to property on right.  Note: there is only room for one vehicle to pull off the road and it is necessary to back out (use extreme caution). The owner is considering putting a road onto the property in the near future.

It is about 3.5 miles from the property to Fairview Beach.

        Fairview Beach is NOT the Monte Carlo or the Riviera

But, Fairview Beach does have a volunteer fire department and marina
