Charleston Point Farm is a premier property situated in a spectacular secluded waterfront setting located approximately one hour south of Washington, DC in Charles County, MD on the banks of the Wicomico River. This gated, very private 22+ acre compound features unobstructed, sweeping water views and includes a main residence, pool with guest house, private pier with boat lift, play lawn, barn and equipment shed, gated garden with raised beds, farmed acreage and additional acreage. The truly distinctive six bedroom, four full bath & two half-bath residence was thoughtfully designed by Merle Thorpe Architects in close coordination with the current owners. Inspiration for the design came from the original circa 1825 home of Daniel Jennifer - founder of Charleston Plantation, a US Congressman, Ambassador and contemporary of Daniel Webster and Henry Clay who were frequent house guests. Private and secluded, Charleston Point Farm is still surrounded by broad fields, meadows, woodland, creeks and marshland, just as it was in the 1800's. Built in 2009, the main residence consists of three wings: a central two-story portion and two one-and-one-half-story wings connected by glass hyphens and a wraparound porch. Every room showcases beautiful views of the grounds, magnificent bird life and the river setting. The result is a uniquely inviting retreat. Boasting both grand entertaining space and smaller living rooms, the home accommodates large groups and intimate gatherings with equal ease. The most discerning purchaser will appreciate the 1,500 bottle climate controlled wine room, private movie theatre and home gymnasium. Complementing a generous gourmet eat-in kitchen is a covered area for outdoor cooking. A heated, in-ground salt water pool & spa and adjacent guest house are perfect for relaxing after a day on the river. Only the finest materials were used to construct this masterfully articulated estate. Luxurious finishes and impeccable details abound: South American mahogany entrance doors, old growth white oak flooring, solid mahogany handrails and zinc-coated stainless steel roofing are a few examples. Practical considerations were not overlooked. The home is protected by a fire suppression system and a 25KW backup generator. Agricultural enthusiasts and serious gardeners will appreciate the 46x53 barn with its heated caretaker shop and large equipment shed. The property also includes more than 2600 feet of shoreline. Boaters will delight in a 120-foot private pier with a 16,000-pound boat lift and 4-foot MLW depth. Presenting a unique blend of modern finishes and integrated rustic touches, Charleston Point Farm can serve as a year-round sanctuary or delightful weekend retreat.
