Positioned on Horseshoe Bend of the St. Mary’s River, near St. Mary’s City, you’ll find Cardinal Pines, a beautiful waterfront estate. The location provides views of waters of the bend, which are perfect for boating, kayaking, canoeing, or swimming, while taking in the area’s beauty from sunrise to sunset. This private estate provides a peaceful escape, but also serves as a wonderful impetus for area exploration. Within a quick boat trip are summer getaway hotspots throughout the St. Mary’s River or out the mouth into the Potomac River to the shores of Virginia. Many points of interest for food, drinks, and live music, or of course the various bodies of water for boating and fishing. Amongst a long list of features making this a unique, truly once-in-a-generation opportunity is the property, residence, and deep-water dock. The wide vista is of the St. Mary’s College of Maryland’s campus, Church Point at Historic St. Mary’s City, and across to Pagan Point and Horseshoe Point. This 6-acre parcel allows for a seamless launching point to board your power or sailboat in waiting and cruise out for a day or overnight. The property boasts over 530 ft +/- of shoreline while the home rests approximately 15 ft +/- above the water line. The grounds of this estate consist of mature tree growth, professional landscaping, pier with boat lift and a slip for a sailboat, as well as a swimming pool with tanning ledge and a lap lane. Cardinal Pines hosts a main residence attached to a two-car garage with a pied-à-terre above and connected by a screened porch. The Nantucket-style home welcomes you through the front door into a vaulted living room. The ceiling accentuates the brick, wood-burning fireplace and stunning wood beams. Windows brings water views in as well as light from above. The dining room is just off the kitchen and allows for great gatherings. The loft above the dining room may be used as a 5th bedroom or a fitness room. Off the great room is the primary suite, which consists of an entry hallway, two full bathrooms, yes two! along with two closets (his and hers!). Above the hallway is a bedroom with an attached bathroom. The other end of the home features a second bedroom on the main level with an attached full bathroom. The kitchen boasts modern amenities such as a microwave/wall oven, induction cooktop, and dishwasher while storing items in a walk-in pantry. The unfinished basement once housed an apartment for caretakers with 11 ft ceilings and a plumbed area for a bathroom. The basement under the primary suite is used as a workshop and walks out to the beautiful yard. The pied-a-terre hosts living room, currently being used as an office, 1 bedroom, a full bathroom, walk-in closet, and small kitchenette. The property provides for multiple car parking and circles back around to exit this very private estate.
