Magnificent views of Saint Clements Bay, at the confluence of the Potomac River, Saint Patrick’s Creek and Back Creek. There are distant views of Chesapeake Bay. Enjoy views from the pier of Saint Clements Island, where Maryland was founded in 1634 by English Settlers. The estate offers endless outdoor opportunities with it's recently refurbished pier. Pier has four brand-new pilings, ready for a boatlift. Two marinas within one mile. Enjoy birdwatching for osprey, bald eagles, Canadian geese, blue herons and many more. The property contains an old tree farm with mature birch, Yoshino cherrys, oaks and maple. This parcel is extremely private, as it occupies the entire tip of a peninsula. There is a possibility that this parcel can be subdivided and allows for additional buildings (buyer to confirm). There is an existing Beach Cottage built in 1985 on the property that is uninhabited and in poor condition. Do not enter this house as it is not safe. The recorded plat notes a well and septic location. This house is located in a flood zone.
