READY FOR THE SUMMER SEASON + MOVE-IN READY, this very special waterfront cottage on 21.9 acres will delight you. The 2300+ ft of shoreline on Jutland Creek provides incredible hiking and kayaking experiences, deep water for other boating. Part of the shoreline meanders along a very beautiful marsh and so this setting invites wildlife into view every day. Wild turkey, osprey, eagles and more are your neighbors, blue crabs and fish are ready to catch, oysters can be grown off of the private pier. Each year, this part of the creek hosts a carp spawn! This cottage is a hand-crafted gem, carefully designed and built with efficiency and high-grade materials. You'll understand the quality of all improvements by the grade of the entrance gates. The Pella windows and doors are a special grade, many with removable screens and glass panels, which cater to the season. Brazilian mahogany, fir, white oak and red cedar are the predominant woods used in the structure. Red cedar exterior siding in tongue-and-groove, #2 grade. Exterior trim is #1 grade red cedar. The ceilings, counters and interior walls and trim are all British Colombia fir, #1 grade. The interior built-ins are #1 Brazilian mahogany, the floors are heart pine on main level and white oak in upper level. The Pennsylvania fieldstone chimney and interior fireplace surround is unique and memorable. The indoor-outdoor living flow and easy walk to the water is perfection. This property is nearby to St. Mary's College and St. Mary's City, Leonardtown, multiple marinas and restaurants by land or sea. When you leave this property, you'll be planning your return. It's that special. FURNISHINGS CONVEY, other than personal items. Extensive Agent notes, documents available.

RPD
Rural Preservation District
The regulations of Rural Preservation Districts are intended to foster agricultural, forestry, mineral resource extraction, and aquacultural uses and protect the land base necessary to support these activities. Low density residential development in this type of district is permitted subject to performance standards that maintain the rural character of the district in recognition of the fact that a full range of public facilities is not provided or planned. The farmer has the right to farm without being restricted by neighboring residential areas. Restricted hours of operation for farm equipment, restricted odor-producing fertilizers, or mandatory noise reductions may not be imposed on farmers in an RPD zoning district. The general intent of the district is to encourage farming without undue burden on the landowner. In accordance with these intentions, the following provisions for the protection of agricultural uses will apply: (1) Any farm use of land is permitted. (2) Operation, at any time, of machinery used in farm production or the primary processing of agricultural products is permitted. (3) Normal agricultural activities and operations in accordance with good husbandry practices, which do not cause bodily injury or directly endanger human health, are permitted and preferred activities, including activities that may produce normal agriculture related noise and odors. (4) The sale of farm products produced on the farm where the sales are made is permitted.
