148 Acre Town Point Farm is an idyllic Eastern Shore retreat that is impeccably well maintained and appointed. This property provides a wonderful blend of woods, agriculture, waterfront, habitat, and country charm. With 80+ acres under cultivation, 10+/- acres within a CRP program, 40+ acres in woods, and 20+ acres around the residence with pasture and lawn, Town Point Farm has everything to appease the outdoors enthusiast and nature lover. A 1975 tidewater colonial improves the property along with a guest cottage, studio, four-car garage, barn & shed along with two more barns, fenced pasture, loafing sheds, 200' dock with 8' of water at mean low tide on Fishing Creek and over 1400' of stone shoreline revetment. The main house, with 4 bedrooms, including a first-floor primary bedroom suite, enjoys a country kitchen, cozy and inviting den/study, living room, formal dining, utility room with office, and waterside screened porch on the first floor. The second floor has a guest suite on either end of the house and a guest room and office accessing the water-side balcony with southern exposure on a protected cove overlooking Fishing Creek. Off the front circle is a 4-bay carriage barn/garage with a utility shed and an immense amount of storage. Additional stables are complemented by a studio/doghouse, outdoor shower, and whimsical appointments within the utility courtyard, including the outhouse, birdhouses around every corner, and a manicured presence that bespeaks stewardship and care. The 3-bedroom guest cottage was completely rebuilt and represents a stand-alone residence for extended family visits or full-time care. It is located an appropriate remove from the main house and has broad water views. Guesthouse accessories include its own workshop, garage, and screened gazebo. One of the three barns is nearby with finishes to complement an R/V or boat storage, including insulation, heat, 30-amp service, and storage aloft. The property has a sand-lined 190' X 140' dressage ring and approximately 4 acres of fenced pasture. The other utility barn is nearby and houses equipment for farm care and equipment storage. There is no shortage of storage on this property. Southern exposure on Fishing Creek provides a protected anchorage and deep water from the end of a 200' dock. Sounded at low tide, the water depth is 7'+. Additionally, adjacent to the house, a small basin has a second pier with a boat lift. The entire shoreline is rip-rapped, and additional shoreline improvements include a gravel ramp and open water duck blind. Town Point Farm entertains a host of interests. Whether the outdoors, hunting, fishing, horseback riding, boating, or just enjoying it all around you, this farm has something for everyone.
