NEW! Gorgeous Waterfront Estate with Saltwater pool, beach and dock

Treat yourself to this unique waterfront retreat where you’ll enjoy stunning ocean liner views of the Choptank River from nearly every room and the waterfront pool, and you and your dearest ones can't help but make lifetime memories. This sumptuous home and extensive grounds are part of an historic Maryland estate that also boasts more than 4400 square feet of living space. Here, on land that was once part of the DuPont family’s Chesapeake Bay retreat, you’ll find ample room to spread out, fun activities to engage everyone in your party, and plenty of modern creature comforts.



Most of the amenities at Blue Water Farm are oversized and overlook the mighty Choptank River, starting with the manor house on the water’s edge that boasts 7 bedrooms, 4 ½ baths, a large living room with fireplace, formal dining room and two kitchens.



Bedrooms:

Manor House’s Main Wing: A massive master bedroom suite with its own fireplace and full bath also has picture windows on three sides, so you can choose to watch the morning waves, oystermen and osprey from bed or a corner chaise lounge. Two more spacious bedrooms are down the hall - the Riverview Room with king-sized brass bed and the Great Blue Heron room with queen bed.



South wing: The Palm Suite has a queen bed, its own full bath and a 100-year-old magnolia tree outside. Upstairs, the Cedar Room resembles a roomy captain’s quarters with a queen-sized bed, and the sunny Bunk Room has beds for six. A full laundry and mudroom is down the hall.



Guest house/party room:

To add to your options for fun, a large guest house is perched on the waterfront just steps away from the main house, with its own large billiards room, separate party room, bar, kitchen and the property’s 7th bedroom suite with full bath. Perfect for an informal dance party, karaoke night, a place to gather for the big game, or a separate teen hang-out space.



Outside:

Dip in the oversized pool or just take in the views from lounge chairs on the sunny brick deck. Grill on the outdoor patio, then dine alfresco, with seating for 20. Gather a dozen of your closest pals for cocktails on the comfy sofas on the extended three-sided screen porch, or at the end of the new 120-foot pier. Explore the private beach, perfect for bonfires, river swims and sunbathing, as well as a boat launch that's ideal for the kayaks we have on hand. On the spacious grounds, read a book in the hammock while the kids enjoy the private playset nearby. Feeling more ambitious? Hike through the 143-acre estate, along the shoreline or through the farm fields of our own Horns’ Point, the site of one the earliest English settlements on the Eastern Shore.
