Escape to your own 16+ acre sanctuary where sweeping water views of the northern Chesapeake Bay and unforgettable sunsets are everyday living. Set in a unique community on the Bohemia River, this custom-built home is a true reflection of thoughtful design, meticulous care, and genuine pride of ownership. Tucked within a quiet, close-knit community of just 29 residences, this home was designed with careful attention given to every detail, from the layout and finishes to how the home captures natural light. Enhanced by private, groomed walking and riding trails that wind through the wooded surroundings and a park-like setting with a gazebo, it offers the perfect blend of refined living and outdoor freedom. The property also allows for up to two horses, a rare opportunity in a private community, lending itself to an elevated equestrian lifestyle. A welcoming 2-story foyer with ceramic tiles opens to gleaming hardwood floors that flow through the living room, dining room, and family room, where classic crown molding, chair rail, recessed lighting, and an abundance of windows create a warm atmosphere. The heart of the home is the large family room, anchored by a beautiful stone wood-burning fireplace and overlooking the surrounding acreage, while French doors lead to a screened porch with ceramic tile and recessed lighting - an ideal place to unwind and take in the peaceful views connecting to a wraparound deck also accessible from the breakfast room. The kitchen is functional and inviting, boasting granite countertops, cherry cabinetry, tile backsplash and ceramic flooring. Additional features include a walk-in pantry, double wall ovens, island prep sink, and spacious breakfast bar. A powder room is tucked just off the foyer. Upstairs, hardwood stairs and hallways lead to an expansive primary suite with a deep tray ceiling, hardwood floors, recessed lighting, windows on multiple sides, an en-suite bath with jetted tub, separate shower and water closet as well as an expansive walk-in closet. Three additional well-sized bedrooms, full bath, and large second-floor laundry room with utility sink provide everyday convenience. The full basement spans the entire footprint of the home and is accessible through the two-car turned garage, which also includes a powder room. Complementing the main residence is a versatile secondary structure featuring a well-equipped workshop with built-in dust collection and HEPA air filtration, ideal for woodworking, creative pursuits, or serious hobbies along with a barn-style storage area that includes additional storage. Perfectly poised for equestrian use, this building can easily be converted into a barn, or a new facility can be built for avid horse lovers. The property is vast and private, bordered by mature trees, woods, and water access. Outdoor enthusiasts will appreciate the landscape alive with natural beauty, including deer and bald eagles. Boating, fishing, and quiet exploration are all part of everyday life here. Horse enthusiasts can enjoy private trails right on the property itself with even more riding opportunities just minutes away, including Bohemia River State Park and Fair Hill Natural Resources Area, known for their expansive trails on thousands of scenic acres. This home has been exceptionally well cared for and is truly move-in ready, supported by a substantial recent investment of over $60K in professionally completed stucco remediation and exterior improvements, undertaken proactively to enhance longevity and peace of mind. Despite its peaceful, tucked-away setting, the property is well-connected with high-speed fiber optic internet and offers convenient access to Philadelphia, Baltimore, and private or regional air travel. Just minutes from Middletown, Delaware and Chesapeake City, you'll find wineries, shopping, and waterfront dining just a short drive away. Don't miss this rare opportunity to own a lovingly built and impeccably maintained Chesapeake Bay retreat. Welcome home!
