BELLA VISTA | Turnkey Waterfront Estate | Patuxent River | 90 Minutes from DC —Arrive with your suitcase. Everything else is already here Just your waterfront life — ready on Day One. 90 minutes from Washington DC and Northern Virginia and no Bay Bridge traffic. Bella Vista on the Patuxent River is the waterfront escape DC Metro buyers have been searching for — without the Bay Bridge bottleneck. Located in Esperanza Farms with direct river access to the Chesapeake Bay, this fully renovated five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath estate has been designed and curated for the way waterfront life is actually lived. For the buyer seeking a truly effortless transition, an exceptional furnishings package is available for separate negotiation — encompassing everything from original artwork and designer furniture to kayaks, canoes, a paddleboard, yard games, entertaining supplies, extra tables and linens, and every piece of equipment that makes a waterfront weekend unforgettable. Arrive. Unpack. Start living. With a proven 5-star short-term rental history, Bella Vista is both a premier personal retreat and a high-performing income-producing asset — rare at this level of finish. Thoughtfully reimagined with a complete interior renovation in 2023 and an exterior transformation in 2024, the multilevel home offers a fully accessible main level — ideal for multigenerational living, aging in place, or welcoming guests of all abilities. The main-level primary suite features a zero-threshold shower, designer grab bars, and elevated design that makes accessibility feel luxurious. At the heart of the home, a chef's kitchen with premium appliances and a gas fireplace flows into a welcoming living room anchored by its own gas fireplace. Four additional spa-inspired bedroom suites are distributed throughout the home — waterfront rooms with automatic remote-control shades, and a private suite complete with fireplace and a coffee bar with sink and beverage refrigerator. A light-filled all-season sunroom, private gym with sauna, custom entertainer's closet, and an exceptional laundry room featuring two washers, two dryers, and a marble dog shower complete the interior picture. The custom entertainer's closet and garage beach-day rinse station signal a home designed to be truly lived in. Outside, Bella Vista unfolds as a private waterfront resort: a heated saltwater pool with elevated hot tub, two exterior gas firepits, a wood-burning waterside fireplace, and expansive patios built for golden-hour entertaining. A private pier with Jet Ski lift provides direct access to the Patuxent River — kayak, canoe, and fish from your own backyard, with the Chesapeake Bay just beyond. Bella Vista is not just a home. It is a refined, operational waterfront retreat — designed to be lived fully, shared generously, or performing as an asset from the very first weekend.
