Nature surrounds this 25+ acre waterfront haven with approximately 1700 feet of water frontage. Located only 10 minutes from the Bay Bridge and one hour from Baltimore and Washington DC, this home presents options for an easy to reach weekend getaway or a full time waterfront residence. The 3 bedroom, 2 bath Chalet style home is full of character and charm. Large windows and french doors brighten living spaces and fill the home with nature and water views. You will spend many evenings gathering in the family room which has a cathedral ceiling, exposed beams, hardwood floors, a wood burning stove and a wall of glass with doors leading to a screened porch with fabulous water views. The bright and well appointed kitchen is the ideal location for eating crabs caught directly off your dock while enjoying views of the water and wildlife. Alternatively, enjoy the "catch of the day" in the separate dining room complimented with hardwood floors and fireplace. A private owners bedroom is complete with hardwood floors, a full bath and a large walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms and a bath are located on the main level. The basement provides additional storage space and outbuildings include a gardening shed, barn, kennel and wood shed. A brick patio and fire pit both offer additional places to gather and enjoy evening sunsets. The well constructed pier is set up with canoe and kayak storage. Two boat lifts and two floating decks provide easy access to all of your water toys. Kent Narrows seafood restaurants and historic crab houses are a short boat ride away, and the Cross Island biking and hiking trail is a quick bike ride from the house. Much loved by current owners and first time on the market since 1998, this special waterfront property is protected with a conservation easement to guarantee the natural characteristics of the water frontage and the nature it supports. The easement allows for a second home, garage, out buildings, pool and more but the property can never be subdivided. The Chesapeake Bay Environmental Center, only a few thousand feet from the property, is a 510-acre preserve focused on habitat restoration and education and hosts hiking trails and a nice private beach; development on this creek will always be limited. This peaceful 25+ acre hidden waterfront gem is a short drive from major metropolitan areas. Easily accessible, guests will swing by for a day, stay for the weekend, and drop by on their way to the beach. An adjacent buildable lot, located on Main St, is available to be acquired to increase the size of your family compound.
