Governor’s Land at Two Rivers, Williamsburg, Virginia
Just outside of historic Colonial Williamsburg, along the central Virginia coast, lies Governor’s Land at Two Rivers, a well-planned, scenic community featuring 734 single-family homesites on over 1500 acres. The two rivers in question are the James and the Chickahominy, and they meet here to offer residents a relaxed and peaceful setting in which to live. Homesites at Governor’s Land start at $130,000 and completed resale homes start at around $500,000. Homeowners can choose from riverfront, river view, and golf course views.
Golf is one of the draws at Governor’s Land. The Two Rivers course here, designed by Tom Fazio, has recently been named by Golf Digest as one of Virginia’s top 10 courses. This 18-hole, championship course makes good use of the natural beauty of the setting, using the ravines, water, and tidal marshlands to create a challenge to any golfer. The adjacent Georgian Two Rivers Country Club offers a well-stocked pro shop, complete locker room facilities, a resident golf shop, and two restaurants.
In addition to golf, this waterfront setting is a boater’s paradise. The Two Rivers Harbor and Marina offers everything you need to set sail or spend a day filled with fishing, swimming, or waterskiing. The boathouse offers a fueling station, bait shop, terrace, and bathhouse. Other amenities of the community include tennis courts, seven miles of walking and biking trails, a private beach, a top-notch fitness center, and two swimming pools. The developers are committed to leaving 40 percent of the property in its natural state and a 200-acre nature preserve is located at Governor’s Land.
The Chesapeake basin is a lovely place to live, close to the Blue Ridge Mountains in one direction and to the sea in the other. Norfolk and Richmond, with their shopping, cultural activities, and healthcare facilities are just an hour’s drive away and Washington D.C. and all that the nation’s capital has to offer is just 2.5 hours away.
