Welcome to your private waterfront paradise on the Elk River! In a stunning setting on 30+ acres, the home beckons those seeking serenity and an abundance of land to call their own. A former Christmas tree farm, the property ranges from mature forest with towering trees, to sprawling, tillable meadows, to marshland, a beach area with huge potential, and the Elk River a short distance from the expanse of the Chesapeake. Not in an HOA, and has the potential to be an amazing vacation rental. You'll love the house, designed with an abundance of glass to maximize the views of the sprawling landscape and the bay beyond. It's an Acorn Deck House (learn more at deckhouse.com), which has it's own well-deserved fan base. Entering the front doors, you'll be greeted by a wide open living space with vaulted ceilings and the wall of windows. In this space is the large fireplace, and next to it the spacious, custom kitchen, designed thoughtfully with entertaining in mind. The spacious deck wraps around the rear of the home overlooking the pool, a wonderful place to unwind and take in the views. Also on the main floor is a large space overlooking the water that's been cleared out to make way for what is begging to be a gorgeous primary suite, with large windows overlooking the water. Downstairs, you'll find four spacious, daylight bedrooms, with 3 of them having bay views and patio doors opening at ground level, with the pool just beyond. One features a private bath of its own, along with a second full bath that serves the remaining guest rooms. This level also features a spacious laundry area and the utility room. Note that a major upgrade completed by the owners is the installation of a geothermal system for efficiency of heating and cooling. Back outside, you'll find the pool an incredibly beautiful space; custom designed by the owners, it's practically brand new, a concrete pool build with only the best in mind. Roaming the outdoors, you'll find wildlife to be a part of life here with bald eagles having a nest on the property (imagine being able to say that!), a thriving deer herd, along with lots of other creatures. Fish in the creek and the Elk River, and the bay beyond, or hunt, or just soak it all in. A floating dock is in place for smaller boats, and a new dock can be build for larger boats, and to access to the beautiful beach area beyond the marshland. With your finishing touches, this home can become the haven of your dreams, or a stunning vacation rental. Homes in a setting like this don't come along often, schedule your private tour today and experience the glory of waterfront living!
