(2) Buildable Waterfront Lots Being Sold!
To Settle the Estate of Maureen S. Barnes
Apple Tree Rd, Montross, VA 22520
At the request of Kim F. M. Harvey, Esq., Executor, For Sale At Auction has been contracted to market and sell these estate-owned properties to the highest bidders. These properties must be sold to close this estate! Conveniently located in historic Westmoreland County, VA, not far from the town of Montross, these two adjacent waterfront building lots are situated on Doyle Cove, just off Lower Machodoc Creek, which gives easy access to the Potomac River and Chesapeake Bay. The lots are located in a lovely waterfront neighborhood with paved road access off of Apple Tree Road, and both offer amazing water views. The smaller lot (Tax Map #38J D), has 0.97 +/- acres and 133 feet of water front. The second lot (Tax Map #38J C), has 1.08 +/- acres and 175 feet of water frontage. Combined, that’s over 300 feet of waterfront! Shallower mean low water on this cove make these properties most ideal for pontoon, kayak, canoe, and flat-bottom skiff. Looking for a place to crab, fish, and enjoy any number of water sports? You’ve found it!
These lots are generally level, have mature trees and gently slope down to Doyle Cove, with excellent potential locations for docks. Both parcels are zoned “Residential” (R-1) by the county, have had a recent survey with markers on the borders, and a soil feasibility study, which states that each lot has a perk location to support a 3 bedroom conventional septic system.
These fantastic properties are an excellent opportunity for real estate investors, builders/developers, or for anyone seeking a recreational setting on the water for summertime fun or year-round retirement living. The choice is yours. Opportunities are endless with this property! Buy one, or buy both. They are being offered individually. Own a property where you can enjoy the special feeling that only the Northern Neck of Virginia, its people, and local wildlife can offer. BID ONLINE NOW to MAKE THEM YOURS, at YOUR PRICE...

*A Brief Explanation of the Bidding Process* Interested Bidders can bid online any time during the timed auction bidding period. This “Timed” method is similar to how eBay operates, where bidders can enter their maximum bid amounts and walk away (with the software handling your bid increases automatically thereafter), or you can proactively enter each bid individually... as you desire. You will receive an immediate “push notification” whenever you are outbid by another Bidder. Any bid made in the closing 2 minutes of the auction will extend the bidding time for an additional 2 minutes, which allows the previous high bidder to be notified and given the opportunity to increase their bid. Please contact the Auction Firm with any questions or if you need assistance with bidding.
AS IS - WHERE IS SALE: This property is being sold strictly "AS IS, WHERE IS” with no contingencies of sale of any kind. The sale is immediately binding and irrevocable. Bidders must conduct their own due diligence and investigation of the property to determine suitability prior to placing their bids. Bidders must rely solely upon information gathered through their personal investigation. Failure of a bidder to be fully informed on a property will not constitute grounds for claims or canceling the sale. All information provided regarding this property was obtained from official public records &/or other sources deemed reliable and believed correct, but is not warranted or guaranteed whatsoever. Please, DO NOT BID if you have not completed your Due Diligence.
BUYER’S PREMIUM, DOWN PAYMENT & CLOSING: A Buyer’s Premium of 10% of the high bid amount will be added to the final bid to determine the total sales price (For example: a high bid of $50,000.00 will have a 10% Buyer’s Premium ($5,000.00) added to the high bid for a total sales price of $55,000.00). Please consider this Premium when placing all bids. The Buyer’s Premium is non-negotiable. A non-refundable deposit in the amount of 10% of the highest final bid is required following the auction. Accepted forms of payment include Cash, Certified Check, Cashier’s Check, Bank Wire Transfer, or Postal Money Order. The Purchaser will have until 12:00 Noon (EST), Friday, December 2, 2022 to deliver their executed Purchase Agreement and deposit of 10% of the highest final bid amount, in person, or via overnight carrier, to the Auction Firm.

The Buyer is responsible for all closing costs customarily charged to a Purchaser upon closing a real estate transaction in the Commonwealth of Virginia, and the Seller will pay customary Seller’s closing costs. Real estate taxes shall be pro-rated between the parties as of the date of final settlement.
CONTRACT/DOCUMENT PROCESS: Within twenty-four (24) hours following the close of the auction, the Auction Firm shall contact the high bidder by email &/or telephone to provide all required sale documents for the Purchaser’s signature.
