Panoramic Southwest views over Broad Creek to the Choptank River with colorful sunsets, the perfect backdrop for this rare waterfront estate. One cannot help but think James Michener, a former owner and author, might have been inspired by the views when writing his famous novel 'Chesapeake'. 10+/- acres with pine forests make for a private and serene getaway all while being just a short bike ride to historic downtown St Michaels. 484+/- ft of rip-rapped shoreline, 100 ft dock with 10,000 lb. boat lift. In addition, there is a 16x36 heated in-ground pool with stone, covered side porch, several stone patios, deck with hot tub, lighted putting green, and 2 gazebos. The current owner custom designed and built the 5,000+/- sq ft main residence, The Tuck Box, with one-level living with dramatic high ceilings and large banks of windows to maximize the water views. Formal living, dining room, river room and billiard rooms all feature custom fireplaces. Master suite is complete with walk-in closet, luxurious spa-like bath with jetted tub, waterfront sitting area, and access to one of several waterfront patios. Covered side porch overlooking waterside pool. Private patio off of the billiard room with pergola and stacked stone gas firepit. Adorable 2-story guest house, The Friar's Cottage, has 2 garage spaces to accommodate boats or cars features 2 bedrooms, waterfront exercise room, and terrific water views from the balcony of the pool, wooden gazebo, putting green. Car enthusiasts will immediately fall in love with The Toy Barn that is so much more!
