4018 Evergreen Rd, Port Republic, MD 20676

This waterfront home is set back off of the 80 foot cliffs looking out over sweeping ravines to the Chesapeake Bay in sought after Scientists' Cliffs. It is the northernmost property in the community and borders Maryland DNR forested land to the north that won't be developed. From the deck, look east out to the bay, or look north to thousands of acres of forest. A short kayak/canoe ride or walk on the beach will take you to The Parkers Creek Preserve and Wildlife Management Area. It is a 4 bedroom 2 bath home with a large deck on the side for picking crabs, enjoying the view or watching the deer on the ravines and eagles soar by. The open concept main floor is full of windows and light. The second floor has a sliding glass door that walks out to smaller deck overlooking the bay. On the second floor there is also a unique custom stained glass panel that sends light patterns all over the house throughout the day. Or nap in the hammock out front while the breeze comes off the bay. Scientists' Cliffs was a community established in the 1930s as a weekend location for explorers and scientists to discover the history of the Chesapeake Bay including prehistoric fossils in the cliffs. Today, a walk on the beach likely will fetch a handful of fossilized shark and ray teeth. The community has 5 'gates' A-E connected by walking paths and now has many full-time residents. The community has amenities throughout including a private beach, summer outdoor pool, tennis and pickle ball courts, shared garden, boat ramp and storage, hiking trails, open space and a community center with a constant calendar of events and activities. It is a unique place and only an hour from DC or Baltimore. Buyer must join Scientists' Cliffs HOA.
