Available Chincoteague Properties

The word "Chincoteague" is said to be an Indian name meaning "beautiful land across the water".

Chincoteague is a quiet, relaxing vacation destination for families. Due to the scarce availability of land on this small island, and its unique combination of natural beauty and protected isolation, homes and land are becoming increasingly sought after by persons seeking a haven from the bustle of the city.

The nearby Chincoteague National Wildlife Refuge includes more than 14,000 acres of  beach, dunes, marsh, and maritime forest. Most of the refuge is located on the Virginia end of Assateague Island.

The refuge's location along the Atlantic Flyway makes it a wonderful resting and feeding spot for a large number of migratory birds. Millions of people on the Eastern Seaboard live within a brief drive of Chincoteague. The Wildlife Refuge is one of the most visited parks in the United States, providing visitors with many opportunities to learn about and enjoy wildlands and wildlife.
