Charming Gibson Island Cottage with Private Woodland Views Nestled on a serene 1.33-acre lot (58,016 square feet), this charming 1928 Gibson Island cottage offers timeless character and exceptional privacy in one of the Island’s most tranquil settings. Set back from the road along a gently winding gravel drive, the home is surrounded by mature trees and natural landscaping, creating a peaceful woodland retreat. Inside, the residence offers nearly 3,000 square feet across three levels, with five bedrooms, five full bathrooms, and comfortable living spaces designed for relaxed year-round living or as an ideal island getaway. The main level allows for convenient single-level living, while the lower level provides flexible space for guests, a recreational room, studio, or a home office. Large windows throughout fill the home with natural light and frame picturesque woodland views. The property presents a rare opportunity to renovate, expand, or reimagine a classic Gibson Island cottage on a generous 1.33-acre setting above Otter Pond. Whether thoughtfully restoring its historic character or creating a new vision for island living, the possibilities are exceptional—all within the unique and private community of Gibson Island, known for its natural beauty and timeless lifestyle. A covered two-car carport with additional space for storage provides sheltered parking and convenient access to the home. Information on Gibson Island: Gibson Island is a private island within one hour of Washington, D. C. and Baltimore offering an absolutely extraordinary setting. The Island comprises 1000 acres with seven miles of shoreline. Two thirds of the Island is undeveloped and is owned by the Gibson Island Corporation, the homeowners' association. The remaining third is residential home sites. Gibson Island is located on the western shore of Maryland, so there is no need to cross the Bay Bridge. On the Island is a 43-acre spring fed freshwater lake in which one may enjoy non-motorized watercraft activities such as paddleboarding, canoeing, kayaking, fishing and swimming. The Island offers enormous privacy and security--there is an entry gatehouse staffed 24+Hours, and the Island is patrolled by the Gibson Island Police Force (GIPD). The Gibson Island Corporation Service Department offers yard maintenance and landscaping and other services for homeowners. There is a full-service yacht yard. From the Island, it is just a 20-minute drive to BWI Airport and the neighboring Amtrak train station. The Island houses a private country club (membership by invitation) offering yachting, fine dining year-round, tennis, an award-winning Charles Blair Macdonald designed 9-hole golf course, swimming, croquet, skeet shooting, and more.
