80 private acres beautifully situated on the highly prized Langford Creek, this light filled custom built home and property capture the essence of serene living on Maryland's Eastern Shore. One of only 4 properties on Orchard Point and sited to take advantage of the natural landscape with expansive views of the river, the owners' goal was to retain the feel and function of a working farm, but to add a modern house inspired by Maryland's historic heritage. The residence succeeds as a home for family comfort, entertaining, relaxing, gardening, hunting, fishing, birding and appreciating wildlife. Its east/west orientation highlights sunrises and sunsets that can be enjoyed from every room in the house. A real retreat.

The five bedroom and 7 fireplace (woodburning) home was designed with 12-foot ceilings on the first floor to accentuate the views and the light. A main floor primary suite includes two separate en-suite dressing rooms and bathrooms along with a wood burning fireplace. The second floor has four bedrooms, three with fireplaces, and all with en-suite bathrooms. One bedroom has a separate sitting room. A wide hall runs along the width of the house providing access to all of the rooms.

The property features the landscape design of acclaimed D. C. based Oehme, van Sweden. Hardscapes and plantings were strategically orchestrated and include a walled garden filled with flowering trees and shrubs along with a sweep of peonies in the spring. Three ponds invite active wildlife, including a beautiful blue heron. 50 acres of fields are currently being organically farmed by a neighboring farmer. An additional 3 bedroom and 2 bath cottage (c 2012), adjacent to a barn and silo, currently occupied by a caretaker, is situated near the property entrance. Two covered structures within the walled garden provide a relaxing reading or meditation venue. Bluestone and brick terraces along the entire river facing side of the house lead to a pool and pool pagoda.

The property is uniquely designed to capture the feeling of the land while being welcoming and inviting to all who live there or visit. It has been lived in and loved by the original owner for over two decades. Family hunting and fishing are exceptional. Rock Fish is plentiful. The main residence has recently benefited from a new cedar shake roof and updated energy efficient French doors and windows throughout. The unfinished basement is approx. 2900 square feet with 9' ceilings, inviting the next steward to introduce additional lifestyle enhancements.

Less than 10 miles to downtown Chestertown, with its restaurants, coffee shops, food stores, bookstore and vibrant music and art scene, this property combines riverfront tranquility with easy access to town.
