Main House

80 private acres beautifully situated on the highly prized Langford Creek, this light filled custom built home and property capture the essence of serene living on Maryland's Eastern Shore. One of only 4 properties on Orchard Point and sited to take advantage of the natural landscape with expansive views of the river, the owners' goal was to retain the feel and function of a working farm, but to add a modern house inspired by Maryland's historic heritage. The residence succeeds as a home for family comfort, entertaining, relaxing, gardening, hunting, fishing, birding and appreciating wildlife. Its east/west orientation highlights sunrises and sunsets that can be enjoyed from every room in the house. A real retreat. The five bedroom and 7 fireplace (woodburning) home was designed with 12-foot ceilings on the first floor to accentuate the views and the light. A main floor primary suite includes two separate en-suite dressing rooms and bathrooms along with a wood burning fireplace. The second floor has four bedrooms, three with fireplaces, and all with en-suite bathrooms. One bedroom has a separate sitting room. A wide hall runs along the width of the house providing access to all of the rooms.

Exterior Features

The property features landscape design by acclaimed D.C.-based Oehme, van Sweden. Hardscapes and plantings were carefully planned and include a walled garden filled with flowering trees and shrubs, along with a sea of peonies in spring. Three ponds attract active wildlife, including a stunning blue heron. Fifty acres of fields are currently being organically farmed by a neighboring farmer. An additional 3-bedroom, 2-bath cottage (circa 2012), adjacent to a barn and silo, is currently occupied by a caretaker and is located near the property entrance. Two covered structures within the walled garden offer a peaceful spot for reading or meditation. Bluestone and brick terraces along the entire river-facing side of the house lead to a pool and pool pagoda.
