A perfect blend of tranquility and luxury, with breathtaking views and a well-thought-out design. The combination of natural beauty and top-tier craftsmanship makes it an ideal spot for someone looking to escape to their own private paradise in Southern Maryland. The custom-built home by Freeman Builders Inc & designed by a popular Annapolis architect, really stands out with its open floor plan and top-notch materials, such as Marvin windows, white oak hardwood floors, spray foam insulation, IPE decking, Rumford fireplace, metal roof, & hand crafted wooden front door. . The geo-thermal HVAC and solar panels are also great touches, combining sustainability with comfort along with low electric bills! The outdoor spaces — the double-sided screened porch, covered stone patio, and two decks — are amazing for enjoying those sunrise and sunset views. And the idea of having your own private fishing, crabbing, and water activities spot makes it even more special! Private pier for small boats & floating pier for launching kayaks & paddle boards. Additional building includes a 30 x 30 barn with a second story, 24 x24 studio/woodshop, & 14 x14 guest quarters which makes a nice bonus for visitors. This 4.2 acres has an abundance of wildlife, swans, osprey & geese just to mention a few. This would make a great second home, Airbnb or year round home. Close proximity to marinas & restaurants.
