Escape to the "Costello Property", a majestic 3.7 acre waterfront property with over 300 feet of water frontage on Leadenham Creek. This enchanting waterfront cottage located in Bozman just 7 miles from the village of St Michaels is surrounded by water, shady trees and wildlife. Enjoy glorious sunsets from this tranquil serene private setting. The charming 3 bedroom, 3 bath home is totally turn-key with simple decor and wonderful access to water activities. The private pier on the protected Bobby Owl Cove offers 5 ft water depth plus a boat lift, the perfect setup for the boating enthusiast. The living room is cozy in winter months with a wood burning fireplace and water views. One can dine outside either on the screened-in porch or the outside terrace during three seasons of the year. There is a full laundry room and storage/mudroom with outside access. An attached two-bay garage can double as storage for water toys and bikes. The area offers great biking as well. Alternatively, this site could also be a fabulous location to build a new custom home or property investment as it demonstrates an extremely successful Airbnb rental history (https://www. airbnb.com/rooms/16617423). Just minutes down the road, one can enjoy fine dining in the historic village of St Michaels, interesting eclectic shops, sailboat cruises, or spend some time at the famous Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum. Easton and Oxford are also well worth exploring and they are just 25 minutes from the house. Don't let this once in a lifetime opportunity slip away!
