Look closely on the bluffs of the cliffs overlooking the Chesapeake Bay and you'll find an historic community of cabins and cottages all blending into the landscape. So much more than a home, this property offers a LIFESTYLE, well suited to full time residency and weekend or getaway style living. This charming property offers hardwood flooring, granite countertops, a huge back deck, new wood & pellet stoves, an oversized sunroom, fully finished basement and lots of room for the whole family, friends, and guests to both spread out and reconnect. Meticulously cared for with both regular and preventative maintenance, including french drain system, extensive tree work, new HVAC system, chimney inserts & liners, newer appliances & roof, and brand new carpet. Head down to the beach, where you'll find miles of open bay, gorgeous sunrises, and footprints in the sand year round. Launch a canoe or kayak, or even a small boat from the beach or boat ramp. Go for a walk, hike or even a trail bike ride on the miles of trails on the adjacent American Chestnut Land Trust. Enjoy an old fashioned summer at the Community House and pool, and be sure to bring your racket and paddle, as there are multiple tennis & pickleball courts. There's even RV and boat storage facilities on site! Community programming includes drop in half day and evening summer camp for kids and teens, field day style 4th of July competitions, concerts, resident art shows, book club, movie nights, and nature walks. It's the Catskills in Southern Maryland, and it's all waiting for you. If you're looking for a weekend house, skip the Bay Bridge and get to the beach ahead of time. It's a quick and easy commute to DC, or Northern Virginia, inside of an hour to Capitol Hill! If you're seeking a full time residence, you'll love all of the amenities that Calvert has to offer including top rated schools, easy access to shopping, restaurants, parks, trails, museums and community centers, and so much more. Properties in Scientist's Cliffs are rarely available, and many are held for generations. Come see for yourself the best kept secret in Southern Maryland.
