This historic property known as "The Elms" was built in 1900 and originally used as a fishing lodge for many years. The property sits on 2 acres, has public sewer and well water and consists of three buildings which are: The original main building, the detached garage and a shed/storage building. The buildings hold virtually no value unless an extensive historic renovation were completed, but the opportunity is fantastic. Tilghman is an historic waterfront town that features a waterman's museum, marina, many restaurants, and established neighborhoods/communities such as Tilghman on the Chesapeake, Fairbanks, and Black Walnut Point. In addition to restoring the buildings, there may be opportunity to build new. A truly iconic piece of Tilghman history. Property being sold "As-Is."
