A Private Wye River Sanctuary! Some properties offer a home. Others offer a lifestyle. This exceptional Wye River retreat offers both.Set along one of the Eastern Shore’s most beautiful waterways, this beautifully updated ranch home is an invitation to slow down, entertain effortlessly, and enjoy waterfront living at its finest. From morning coffee on the screened porch to sunset swims in the Gunite pool, every day here feels like a getaway.The light-filled, open interior provides an inviting backdrop for relaxed gatherings and everyday living, while a versatile additional living area offers the flexibility for an in-law suite, private home office, game room, or guest retreat. The serene primary bedroom enjoys direct access to the screened porch, creating a private connection to the tranquil waterfront setting.The extensive improvements provide peace of mind while enhancing the home's appeal, including an architectural roof, vinyl siding, gutters, sophisticated hybrid heat pump/propane HVAC system, select updated flooring, and an updated BAT septic system.Outside is where this property truly shines. The Gunite pool features strategically placed bench seating, creating the perfect vantage point for unforgettable Wye River sunsets. The screened porch captures the river breezes and provides an ideal setting for morning coffee, afternoon cocktails, or long evenings with friends and family.For the boating enthusiast, the private dock features two electric boat lifts—8,000 and 12,000 pounds—and 2+ feet of mean low water, providing excellent access for boating and watersports. Spend the day on the river, catch crabs from the dock, or simply let the water set the pace.This is more than a waterfront home—it is a place to create traditions, host unforgettable gatherings, escape the ordinary, and experience the Wye River in a deeply personal way.Private waterfront. Private dock. Gunite pool. Sunset views. Exceptional outdoor living. A rare opportunity to make the Wye River your everyday retreat.
