For the discerning buyer, this estate represents a blank canvas — a chance to craft a personal masterpiece without the limitations of existing finishes. Whether imagined as a modern Chesapeake retreat, a timeless classical residence, or a contemporary waterfront showpiece, the foundation has been laid for one of Maryland’s most distinctive homes.

Located in Harwood, Maryland, this estate provides the perfect balance of serenity and accessibility. Nestled along a quiet, prestigious lane, the property offers peace and privacy, while remaining convenient to Annapolis, Baltimore, and Washington D.C. — connecting the best of metropolitan and waterfront lifestyles.

Tucked quietly within the property’s eight-acre waterfront grounds, the guest residence offers charm, privacy, and flexibility — all while preserving its grandfathered status within the estate. This secondary dwelling, perfectly positioned to capture serene views of the surrounding landscape, provides the ideal retreat for family, guests, or private staff quarters. Its classic proportions and intimate setting create a warm counterpoint to the main residence’s grand scale. With thoughtful renovation, the guest house can easily be transformed into a luxury guest cottage, home office suite, or wellness studio, maintaining both its historic appeal and its rare zoning privilege. As part of the property’s legacy layout, it embodies the quiet exclusivity that defines true waterfront living.

An extraordinary opportunity to own a Chesapeake Bay waterfront estate of rare scale and privacy. Set on 8.25 acres of pristine shoreline, this property combines seclusion, grandeur, and vision — anchored by an 11,000 square-foot architectural shell residence, a grandfathered guest house, and a private dock extending into the calm waters of the bay. Just thirty minutes from Annapolis and less than an hour from Washington, D.C., this remarkable property offers both retreat and accessibility, a combination seldom found in Maryland’s most coveted coastal regions. For the discerning buyer, this is more than a home — it is a canvas for legacy. The foundation is set for an estate of timeless sophistication: expansive entertaining spaces, waterfront terraces, and the freedom to finish every detail to personal perfection. The offering, presented as-is in the low $3 million range, invites the visionary to complete what has been started — to create a one-of-a-kind waterfront compound of distinction, with the space, privacy, and pedigree that define the world’s finest estates.
