The One Waterfront Home I’d Buy Myself: 139 Moccasin Trail
After 25 years of helping people find their place on the water here in the Northern Neck, I don’t say this often. But every once in a while, a property comes along that I’d buy myself in a heartbeat, and 139 Moccasin Trail in Weems is exactly that kind of home.
Just hitting the market this week at $1,450,000, this waterfront home on Taylors Creek is the kind of property that doesn’t come along often. I’ve walked through a lot of waterfront homes in the Northern Neck over the years. What sets this one apart isn’t just the location, though the location is exceptional. It’s the way the whole property comes together. The quality of construction. The attention to detail. The feeling you get the second you walk through the door that someone built this house to actually live in, not just to sell.
The Water
This waterfront home sits on a protected cove of Taylors Creek, just minutes from the mouth of the Corrotoman River. That matters more than people realize. You get the calm, quiet feel of a protected creek, perfect for kayaking or paddleboarding on a still morning, but you’re not stuck way up a river with a long, slow trip every time you want to get out on bigger water. The private dock has approximately 4 feet of MLW, and from there it’s an easy run out to the Corrotoman and beyond. For anyone searching for true waterfront living near Irvington and the greater Northern Neck, this is about as good as it gets.

The Home Itself
Built in 2011 by its original owners as their forever home, this custom waterfront estate offers 5 bedrooms, 4 full baths, and 2 half baths on 12 acres. The craftsmanship and quality here are evident in every detail, right down to the top-quality plantation shutters throughout.
The main living area stretches across the entire back of the house, with the living, dining, kitchen, and a cozy eat-in nook all flowing together, surrounded by a wall of windows that frame the water and the pool. The galley-style kitchen is built for real entertaining, with room for more than one cook, and it opens straight into the living and dining space. Wolf and Bosch appliances and a six-burner gas range round it out. After all, isn’t that the whole point of a waterfront home? A place to gather with the people you love and an escape from everything else.
Downstairs, the first-floor primary suite is a genuine retreat, with vaulted ceilings, exposed beams, a gas fireplace, and a stunning primary bath. Upstairs, one of the additional bedrooms is truly a second primary suite, with its own lovely sitting area and a bathroom that rivals the one downstairs. Down the hall, there’s a sitting area at the top of the stairs that might be my favorite spot in the entire house. Built-in shelving, a beverage refrigerator, and French doors leading out to a balcony overlooking the water. It is the kind of spot where you curl up with a book on a rainy afternoon and lose track of time.
Living here is easy. That’s really the best way I can describe it.
The Outdoor Living
If the inside doesn’t sell you, the outside will. There’s a heated pool with an automatic retractable cover, so you’re not limited to just the hottest months of summer, and a built-in ledge along the side made for sitting with a cocktail in hand. An outdoor kitchen and outdoor shower make it easy to spend your whole day outside without ever really leaving the party. This is resort-style living, right here in Weems, Virginia.
The Location
You’re tucked away in a quiet, private setting, but you’re also just minutes from everything that makes Irvington and Kilmarnock so special, the restaurants in Irvington, the shops in Kilmarnock, and all the small-town charm in between. You get the peace of waterfront living without sacrificing convenience.
Showings begin July 1st, 2026. Take a look at the video below, and if it speaks to you the way it spoke to me, let’s set up a time to walk through it together.
