Just 15 minutes from all that St. Michaels has to offer, this majestic waterfront property totals nearly 50 bucolic acres. The main house, which dates to 1890, offers a traditional farmhouse aesthetic with its screened-in porches and vistas of crop fields.
This home’s main level offers a large, eat-in country kitchen and a spacious dining room with elongated farmhouse-style windows. The roomy living room has a wood-burning brick fireplace with wood mantel, built-ins, and rustic hardwood floors. There is also a sunny sitting room on this level with an attractive wall of built-ins and large, sliding glass doors that offer expansive views of scenic Leadenham Creek.
Each of the five upstairs bedrooms features something special. The master offers those marvelous waterfront views with its own set of sliding glass doors and Juliette balcony. There are three, full baths and four additional bedrooms on this level—all the bedrooms feature gorgeous hardwood floors.
Outside, the expansive acreage, which can be subdivided into two lots, is dotted with several outbuildings, and is a mix of farmland and lush green lawn ripe with outdoor recreational opportunities. The home also boasts a large, inground swimming pool with surrounding patio area offering lovely creek views.
Maintained through a stewardship and a Conservation Reserve Program, the property provides 4,500 feet of water frontage protected by both rip rap and living shoreline, and a private pier that overlooks protected creek waters. A haven for wildlife created through game management and environmental buffer strips, this Eastern Shore residence offers a nod to its historical past and a future bursting with nature’s promise.
