Tastefully renovated, comfortable little old farmhouse with five acres of meadow, lawn and garden, overlooking Piscataway National Park across the river from Mount Vernon. It was recently selected for the annual tour of interesting and historic local homes, and has been brought up to date with modern heat pump heating and air conditioning, renovated wood floors, up to date plumbing and a new well. Tucked away in the back yard there's a large unheated storage building suitable for storage, or with some alteration, a workshop. It's landscaping is a fine example of natural gardening, with native plantings flowering Spring, Summer and Fall, attracting birds and butterflies and deer. Bald Eagles are sometimes seen soaring overhead, or from along the trails which border the river near the house.The Moyaone Reserve is an environmentally protected area of about 2000 acres where 200+ home and land owners have agreed to restrict building lot size to at least 5 acres for home and garden and to not cut trees over a certain size, beyond that needed for open space for the house, garden and driveway. Beginning in the 1940-50's, It became the first public-private cooperative agreement between land owners and the National Park Foundation, and this gives landowners a beautiful environment, and visitors to Mount Vernon on the other side of the river an unspoiled view of trees and riverside farm and marshland. It is conveniently located about 30 miles south of Washington DC and only a half hour or so from bustling National Harbor and the adjacent Woodrow Wilson Bridge.
