A Nature Lover’s Retreat
S

erene. Beautiful. Unique. This rare find with its southwesterly exposure on Sawmill Cove is situated just minutes from the Choptank River. An oasis of sorts, the barn-style home can’t be seen from any other properties nearby, so privacy is built-in.
Along with the home’s second level master bedroom suite and loft seating area, the property offers gracious accommodations in its two-bedroom guest cottage and an au pair suite.
Speaking of “built-in,” this open-plan modern farmhouse charmer has many truly custom features starting with an eye-catching catwalk that spans the length of the main living area. The kitchen is an appealing combo of rustic elements and professional-grade appliances that work together to create a light and bright, convenient space, flooded with natural light. Wide plank honey-colored hardwood floors flow into a welcoming living area with a stone fireplace and a step-down into a sunny, all-season room with series of floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding doors. Barn door accents, built-ins, and interesting beam detailing make this room a conversation piece itself. A must-mention feature of the main level is its incredibly well-conceived and generous mudroom perfect for dog lovers with an attached pen feature allowing for convenient outdoor access.
Just outside there’s an open-air deck and grounds that provide expansive views of Trappe Creek. Another attractive water feature is the home’s saltwater pool and an adjacent pavilion perfect for al fresco entertaining. A woodsy and private outdoor shower and bath area is outfitted with a nostalgic bathtub and vanity, and is located just off the home’s billiard room on the interior.

The nature lover will delight in their proximity to nesting eagles, a nearby blue heron rookery, turkey and river otter sightings, as well as sanctuary ponds on the 10plus acres surrounding the home. And getting out on the water is made easy with the property’s boat dock and two boat lifts.
