Escape to your own private waterfront retreat! Stunning panoramic views of the Patuxent River will greet you each day at this hilltop property where the water is visible from almost every window. Aptly named "Turtle Watch," this almost 2-acre slice of serenity is tucked away from the hustle and bustle… Read More of daily life. With great spaces for entertaining or quiet contemplation, this desirable location is perfect for large gatherings, or intimate getaways. It's a unique spot to make memories and live life on the water, whether you're in residence year-round, or enjoying occasional weekends. The 350+ feet of water frontage feature deep, protected water on St Thomas Creek, just a stone's throw from the main river. The "Living Shoreline" gives back to the Bay while protecting your water's edge. It naturally reduces storm impact, and provides the habitat for young oysters, and a multitude of marine life, to grow and thrive. The private pier features an upper sun deck that protects a covered boat storage below. When you arrive by land, make note of the shady glade just waiting for a picnic and summer lawn games. Pull up to the large stone patio and take in the great layout of this one-of-a kind property. Hardwood floors and knotty pine walls add rustic charm to the open-concept living-dining-kitchen layout. Andersen windows and sliding glass doors enhance the view from every angle. A propane fireplace and tiled hearth add warmth to the living room. Built-in cabinets adorn the dining room wall. The galley kitchen features Antique White wood cabinets, Corian counters and a gracious view to distract those doing dishes. Head out the sliders to the gorgeous Ipe Wood decking, a Brazilian hardwood, known for its beauty and longevity. Dine al fresco under the shade of the mighty oak tree while the water glistens below. When the sun dips below the branches, employ the shade of the retractable awning. The primary bedroom and a full bath complete the main house, and never run out of hot water with the tankless water heater! Cross the breezeway and enter the charming guest house, that features a main room and 2nd bedroom. The full bath includes the laundry area. Across the patio, the stone path leads to the 3-season studio with great natural light for overnight guests, office space, an art /hobby studio, game room, she-shed/man-cave, you name it! Attached is an over-size 2-car garage with an easy-clean epoxy floor, built-in work bench, and outdoor gear included! All new roofing in 2025 provides decades of peace-of-mind. Head down to the water by either taking the steps, with plenty of flat landings. Or, for easy hauling from the boat, a cleared trail is perfect for ATV's, wagons, and smaller 4-wheel-drive vehicles. The dock includes electric, water, covered boat lift, storage locker, and kayak racks. Enjoy a day of easy paddling, sailing, or rev up the motorboat and jet ski. Catch fish and crabs right from the dock and cook them on your Weber grill. Head down river to a Solomon's Island restaurant, or head out to catch dinner on the Chesapeake Bay! The partially wooded lot provides an abundance of flora and fauna to entertain and delight you. While it will be your "get-away-from-it-all" special place, this home is close to shopping, restaurants, main commuter routes, and just a short drive from D.C. Don't miss your opportunity to live on the water. Request your showing today! Read Less
