Nestled on over six acres of pristine land with direct access to the Choptank River, this contemporary waterfront estate offers the ultimate in Eastern Shore luxury living. Designed to impress, the home features four spacious bedrooms, three and a half baths, and soaring cathedral ceilings that crown a dramatic two-story living room with floor-to-ceiling windows—flooding the home with natural light and showcasing stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Perfect for both relaxation and entertaining, the open-concept main living area flows seamlessly into the dining room and a gourmet kitchen equipped with a large center island, custom cabinetry, abundant storage, and a bright breakfast area. Four fireplaces—including one in the cozy family room—add warmth and character throughout the home. A dedicated billiard room with direct outdoor access offers a versatile space that could also serve as an art studio, media room, or more. The expansive primary suite is a true retreat, featuring a private marble bath, separate workout and tanning rooms, and peaceful garden views. Bedroom flexibility, built-in features, and an upstairs suite with en suite bath offer options for multi-generational living or hosting guests with ease. Outdoors, enjoy your private, fenced backyard oasis complete with a sparkling in-ground pool and a deep-water dock—ideal for boating, kayaking, or simply soaking in the tranquil beauty of the riverfront setting. Additional amenities include a detached garage with a second-floor loft perfect for storage, studio space, or a workshop, and a separate shed for tools and equipment. Located just outside the town of Denton, you’re only minutes from charming shops, dining, and state parks, all while enjoying the privacy and serenity of a secluded waterfront lifestyle. This is a rare opportunity to own a truly remarkable Eastern Shore property where luxury meets nature.
