or those who yearn to get away from it all, this 44acre Talbot County property, known as Stillwater, is the idyllic setting to do just that. The traditional two-story brick colonial on Island Creek is not just a home but part of an estate perfect the sportsman or woman and those who enjoy the equestrian lifestyle.
Inside, the spacious home has many of the features prized by families who love to entertain. A spacious, two-story foyer welcomes you the residence’s open living design plan. The kitchen is truly the heart of this home with its warm cherry wood cabinetry, large, granite-topped center island, and seating for six in its cheery breakfast area. This warmth flows through to the home’s family room with its beautiful carved wood hearth and accents of crown molding. An adjacent formal dining area is available on this level for special occasions, as is a formal living room, an exercise room with therapy pool, a lovely screened in sunroom and an age-in-place master bedroom suite. Upstairs, there are four additional bedrooms and a game room that looks more like a totally tricked-out arcade.

“The buyers had been searching for a property that felt like a true Eastern Shore waterfront estate, one that would also allow the privilege of hunting, farming, and caring for horses or sheep on their own land,” said buyers’ agent Brian Petzold of Chesapeake Bay Properties. Location was key, he explained. “The idea of a complete change in lifestyle with the experience of raising a family on a tranquil farm where all members must contribute and work together was appealing and part of their motivation to move here. They look forward to being caring stewards of the land.” Listing Agent: Eddie Mangold; Benson & Mangold Real Estate; o. 410-822-6665; m. 410-310-6867; eddie@bensonandmangold.com; bensonandmangold.com Buyer’s Agent: Brian Petzold; Chesapeake Bay Properties; 102 N.
