It's always a pleasure to take the back way home and enjoy the scenic drive as you approach this beautiful Colonial, nestled on nearly 8 acres of serene surroundings. Picture yourself relaxing on the front porch or the screened-in back porch, surrounded by the tranquility of nature. The property offers secure storage with two sheds and lovely grounds, that backyard was enhanced by Wentworths’ landscaping. Inside, you'll find a formal living room, a formal dining room, and a spacious family room featuring so much natural lighting. The breakfast area opens directly to the screened-in porch—perfect for enjoying crabs this summer and outdoor gatherings. The kitchen boasts stainless steel appliances and upgraded countertops, while the oversized laundry area provides ample storage space. Upstairs, the owner’s suite offers a peaceful retreat, complemented by three sizable bedrooms. The basement features another large bedroom and a generous flex area—ideal for a home office, workshop, or creative space. The walkout basement leads to a patio, perfect for more outdoor entertaining. Over the years, the owners have made numerous updates, including a new roof, upgraded gutters, some features of the bathrooms, fresh paint, upgraded flooring, and a replaced heat pump—just to name a few. Throughout the home, you'll notice thoughtful touches that make it truly special. While it's tucked away off the beaten path, it's still convenient to all modern amenities, with easy access to routes into St. Mary’s, local parks, and military bases. This charming property offers the perfect blend of privacy and convenience.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.

Agricultural Conservation Zone
The Agricultural Conservation Zone provides a full range of agricultural and farming activities, protects these established uses from encroaching development which might adversely affect the agricultural economy of the County and encourages the right to farm in the County without undue burden on the landowner. The zone is to prevent premature urbanization in areas where public utilities, roads and other public facilities are planned to meet exclusively rural needs and where present public programs do not propose public facility improvements suitable for development at higher densities. This zone provides for certain agriculture-related commercial and industrial uses with special conditions. Such uses are to accommodate flexibility in the use of lands by those persons or organizations that pursue agriculture activities and/or earn their income from agriculture when these uses are not in conflict with the protection of farmland and support protection of the farm economy. The zone protects existing natural resources and scenic values and provides limitations on residential development and encroachment in these areas dominated by agricultural uses. In addition, the zone assists in the implementation of the County's Transferable Development Rights (TDR) Program by providing an appropriate zone to be designated as a sending area.
