The Property:
A perfect Family Retreat!
Gorgeous wraparound porches include a screened outdoor eating area overlooking the heated pool.
The compound was designed as an owners' dream, and includes a heated pool, ample decks for entertainment, a gorgeous beach, private natural setting, and walkways over the adjacent marsh. Towering loblolly pines, aromatic cedars, and marsh grasses dot the landscape. There is a pristine acre-sized pond next to the house providing rest for swans, ducks, & geese. The dock stretches 240 feet into the river with 3 berths for boats & lounge chairs for your enjoyment. Wildlife abounds; you may find yourself crabbing and fishing all day.
The neighborhood consists of a mile-long peninsula of Dorchester's finest homes, stretching far into the Little Choptank River. The quiet street invites scenic bike rides or long walks to watch the sunsets.
The Area:
A local country store, restaurant and boat ramp is 3 minutes away and the Chesapeake Bay, with it's fishing, cruising, and endless sunsets, is out your window.
The town of Cambridge is less than ten minutes away, and it is not much further to visit the Maryland towns of Oxford, Easton, or Saint Michael's to walk the streets, take in the restaurants, or visit art shops and galleries.
On the property, relax! Go no further than the shoreline to find great swimming, crabbing, fishing, sunning, or boating. The sandy beaches are a luxury all year long, and the heated pool provides for a warm swim during colder days and nights. Endless porches and a stone fire pit is the centerpiece for many nighttime get-togethers.
In the neighborhood, bike or walk down the neighborhood's 'private' peninsula and enjoy marvelous sunrises and sunsets among the finest of Maryland's summer and weekend retreats.
Sports and be found both on water and land.
Fishing Creek provides wide, almost endless passages for quiet kayaking, fishing, or pleasure boating. The waterskiing is excellent. The other side of the peninsula faces the Chesapeake from Madison Bay and provides an open door to sailing or to the many top fishing spots.
In town, the yacht club has boats to rent for a sail on the Choptank. Bike tours from all over the world flock to the eastern shore because it is flat, the roads are good quality, the traffic is light, and the sights are endless. Blackwater Refuge offers world-class nature views, and you can also bike in Easton, Saint Michaels, and Oxford, and there are many bike tour maps available to the visitor.
There are two fantastic golf links nearby. The River Marsh course at the Hyatt Chesapeake is renowned. Hog Neck (18 miles) has a four-star rating from Golf Magazine. There are three additional courses between nine and 19 miles away.
Golf:
The town of Cambridge is very close with choice restaurants (including some fun places on the water), a beautiful section of historic homes and interesting shops. The Hyatt Chesapeake has much for the visitor including a great spa, the golf course, marina, three restaurants, and night-time movies with food service at the indoor Wintergarden pool for all. There are two restaurants on the water just moments away, and another dozen choices just minutes further.
In the summer, there are more than ample cultural, historical, culinary, architectural, and nature festivals shows and concerts.
