Escape the pace of city life and discover your own private waterfront retreat on St. John’s Creek—where nature, serenity, and charm come together on 3.5 beautifully secluded acres. Just a scenic drive from Baltimore, Washington, DC, and Northern Virginia, this rare offering invites you to unwind in a true Eastern Shore paradise surrounded by bald eagles, herons, geese, ducks, sika deer, and abundant wildlife.

The charming cottage is filled with warmth and character, featuring a welcoming living room with fireplace, mantle, and pellet stove, a cozy kitchen and dining area, and a versatile first-floor bedroom and laundry room with daybed. A full bath completes the main level. Upstairs, a spacious bedroom with half bath and wood stove creates a peaceful, storybook-like retreat.

Enjoy sweeping water views from the brick-floored screened porch overlooking the creek and private pier—perfect for morning coffee or evening cocktails. Outside, gather around the fire pit under star-filled skies and take in the tranquil sounds of nature.

The property also includes a thoughtfully designed carriage house, ideal for guests or rental income. With a large bunk room featuring six bunk beds, an expansive second-floor bedroom accommodating two queen beds, and a main level with kitchen, dining area, living room, and full bath, there is plenty of space for entertaining. An attached two-car barn-style garage adds both charm and functionality. The property comfortably accommodates up to 15 overnight guests between the main cottage and carriage house.

Offered fully furnished and turnkey, this property has been successfully used as a vacation rental while also enjoyed by its owners—providing flexibility for both personal use and income generation. Kayak and paddleboard storage make it easy to enjoy the waterfront lifestyle, and nearby Boats & Hose Restaurant is a local favorite known for its outstanding cuisine.

Whether you're seeking a weekend escape, a full-time haven, or an investment opportunity, this exceptional property delivers. Enjoy it, share it, and let it help pay for itself—your waterfront dream starts here.
