Located off Tanyard Road, this 81-acre waterfront farm offers a rare blend of charm, seclusion, and natural beauty. The property features a delightful cottage, circa 1900, renovated in 2014 with additional upgrades including new HVAC in 2019. Set among mature trees and outside the floodplain, the home includes two bedrooms, two and a half baths, a waterside living room with wood stove, a waterside porch, and an open-concept kitchen/family/dining area—also with a wood stove. Heart pine floors run throughout, and a partial basement houses mechanical systems. A carport adds practical convenience. Approximately 24 acres are covered in mature hardwoods (select cut 15 years ago), with 38 acres under active cultivation. The property boasts extensive waterfront along Mitchell’s Run and the Choptank River. An ideal setting for the outdoors enthusiast, it offers existing wildlife habitat and significant potential for enhanced waterfowl and upland game environments. Directly across the river lies Nature Conservancy marshland—an undisturbed sanctuary for waterfowl. Situated just 7 miles from Easton and 15 miles from Denton, this exceptional Eastern Shore retreat combines rural tranquility with easy access to town.
