This lot of land is located in Owings, MD within Calvert County, offering a semi-rural residential setting with a mix of homes, wooded land, and small local businesses. The area is known for its quiet suburban–country feel, while still providing convenient access to nearby Chesapeake Bay communities. Residents can enjoy close proximity to outdoor destinations such as Hutchins Pond and Chesapeake Beach / North Beach, along with easy access to major traffic arteries including Solomons Island Road (MD-2). Offering approximately 2 acres, this property presents a great opportunity for those looking to build or invest in a growing area. The existing mobile home on site is possibly in need of removal, allowing for a fresh start and the flexibility to bring your own plans to life. Whether for a future residence or long-term investment, the value here is in the land and its potential.
The Rural Community District RCD is intended to maintain a mix of farms, forests, and residential uses, retain historic and scenic areas, and protect watersheds, fish, and wildlife. These goals are to be achieved in part through the mandatory clustering of subdivisions on parcels 30 acres or greater in size, with a minimum of 60 percent of the subdivision to be permanently preserved as open space. It is the intent to maintain a low residential density within this district while still allowing for some use of Transferable Development Rights TDRs. To avoid drawing traffic onto rural roads commercial uses are limited.
