This beautifully maintained and preserved 2 1/2 story side-hall Federal is built upon a high English Basement and sited in the midst of 204 pastoral acres, in the Occupacia Historic District. This wonderfully scenic area, north of Tappahannock, contains numerous historic farms and estates comprising some of the loveliest and most iconic properties in Eastern Virginia. Linden is ideally suited for use as a single family home, bed and breakfast or wedding-event venue. The main house circa 1735 (according to Essex County records) features original pine floors, staircases, moldings, mantels and more. The addition of columned exterior porches with pediemented porticos, in the 20th century, adds to the sublime elegance that is Linden. The main house is flanked on one side by a three-bay brick carriage house which contains a large guest suite with fireplace, full bath, other amenities and two additional guest suites above. Cottage gardens, towering ancient trees, terraced lawns complete with pergola and gazeobo provide lots of options for outdoor living and celebrations. A well appointed event venue flanks the other side of the main house with apartment above. The large expansive lawn in the front house, the rear and the side pastures is surrounded by mature woodland, featuring rolling topography, meandering streams and wildlife habitats. Additional features include: a stocked pond, gazebo, expansive pergola, brick walkways and patios with extensive hardscaping, cottage garden, restored historic barn, towering ancient magnolias and boxwood, terraced lawns, heirloom perennials, rivers of daffodils and so much more. There are no historic or conservation easements on this property, which makes it especially desirable. Wonderfully convenient to Fredericksburg, Richmond, The Northern Neck, and Richmond. Convenient also to Washington, DC and Williamsburg.
