Property Description

Nearly 24 acres in the heart of Fredericksburg… a rarity that simply does not exist on today’s market. Once historic farmland, this extraordinary estate blends unmatched acreage, equestrian potential, and nearly 9,000 square feet of refined living space—all just minutes from Route 3, shopping, dining, and Downtown Fredericksburg. Fenced paddocks already in place invite horses or livestock, and a massive detached building with running water and a half bath offers versatility as a workshop, RV/auto garage, or an easy conversion to a stable with stalls. The grounds are fully fenced with a decorative black security gate, tree-lined approach, and a circular drive anchored by a shaded gazebo—an arrival as grand as it is private. Rows of pear and holly trees line the entry, setting the stage for this remarkable estate. Outdoors, a resort-style 28,000-gallon saltwater pool with waterfall, Ultralock solid cover (installed 2024), and newer filter/pump (2023) anchors the backyard. An adjacent pool house with kitchenette and bath makes entertaining effortless. Next to the pool, a massive fenced playground area includes a whimsical miniature “dollhouse” and additional storage shed. Within the wooded half of the property, a gently trickling creek runs along the side of the home out to River Road—serenity at its finest. This home is as efficient as it is luxurious: powered by 40+ solar panels and backed by a 60kw whole-house generator on its own gas supply. Five HVAC systems (three recently updated) service the residence. Inside, charm meets scale: seven bedrooms, six baths, gleaming honey-colored hardwoods, and light-filled gathering spaces. The main level wows with a chef’s kitchen featuring granite counters, hardwood cabinetry, stainless appliances (including a double oven and flat cooktop), and a stone-draped fireplace. Off the kitchen, enjoy ample storage, laundry with utility sink, and an additional half bath. The lavish main-level primary suite showcases custom wallpaper, abundant light, large closets, and a spa-like ensuite with dual vanities, soaking tub, and walk-in shower. Flexibility abounds with a private suite over the garage (office/bedroom, hardwood floors, and its own HVAC system), four additional bedrooms and two full baths upstairs—including a Jack-and-Jill bath set-up—and two more bedrooms with another full bath on the top floor. A finished basement offers a large open living space, two generous storage rooms, and double doors that open to a quiet patio. This estate is more than a residence—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a legacy property with acreage, equestrian infrastructure, and resort amenities, all in a location where land of this scale is nearly impossible to find. 12620 Chewning Lane is where luxury, history, and convenience converge. RU zoning allows for many different uses.
