Northern Neck Waterfront Homes
So what kinds of homes will you see on the neck? There are a variety of kinds of homes, but they do have one thing in common. Most of the homes, built by weekenders or retirees, have lots of windows—and they are waterfront homes. If you were boating along the waterways, you might see: - Historical homes - Many of the houses on the Neck have been here for 100 years or more. Unlike many places in the South, the homes on the Northern Neck were not burned to the ground during the Civil War. You will find old plantation homes in the country, and antique homes in little towns like Kinsale. You may even have learned about someone who lived in one of the houses—in one of your history classes in school …
Lodge or rustic look - There are a number of luxury custom homes or smaller homes great for retirement here, that have a rustic look. Some are nestled in the trees, barely visible from the water. Others are closer to the water, with large windows and wonderful views. In this group, you might find:
Eco-friendly energy efficient homes
- Structural Insulated Panel Homes
- Chesapeake Bay homes
- Some homes look like they could be along the ocean. They are light in color, have lots of windows and are large, luxurious homes. They look like they have enough room to entertain the whole clan in them.
- Cottages - Some homes are more modest. They have an informal look and are much smaller. Often people who move here speak of downsizing because they are empty-nesters.
Modular homes - a quick way to get a home built.
