"Eagles' Rest" is a wonderfully private Chesapeake Bay front estate sited on 20 acres of hardwoods - and offers a four hundred foot shore line with sandy beach and beautiful clay cliffs.
Not often is one able to carve out a piece of history and beauty along the shores of the Chesapeake Bay - Yet in the case of "Eagles' Rest" this was completed beautifully. Offered for the first time, this estate was one of the coveted parcels created from the original Camp Roosevelt Boy Scouts Camp. The Sellers painstakingly selected the ideal location for placement of their home to take maximum advantage of the commanding views across the Chesapeake Bay to Maryland's Eastern Shore as well as the beauty of the architecture of massive native trees along with views of the native fauna.
Starting with your arrival at to the well- established community of luxury properties, you will appreciate how nature has been preserved - not stripped. The long private lane to the residence is lined with native plantings, wild berries and beautiful towering hard wood trees - and every once in a while you see a peek of what is to come - views of the famed Chesapeake Bay. Just before you reach the parking court you crest a small hill, and the pleasant surprise awaits you ~ A beautiful contemporary home with an open, clear view of the water.
First sight of this beautiful custom home will be like seeing a gift for the first time because you want to open the door to see what the inside holds in store for you...
From the first step inside you will be impressed, and not sure just what item of beauty to take in first ~ the clear open views through the home to the Bay, the beauty of the wood work on the hand built multi-level staircase or the expansive living areas.
The plan when designing this home was for it to be just that - a home. It is inviting and warm, with rooms that could serve multiple purposes, granting a small to very large family individual spaces without any feeling of crowding, there is over four thousand square feet of entertaining area - And most every living space has a beautiful view. This home allows your windows to become your artwork, with something to enjoy in every direction, year round. Note the one thing missing? Neighbors! You have the most magnificent trees to observe, if you can pull your vision from the constant activity on the Chesapeake Bay!
Whether you are inside the house, on one of the many balconies, inside the screened porch or even on the water side lawn - the activity to observe is beautiful, peaceful and calming. Huge Schooners gliding by, Wind surfers fighting the white caps or even the large Cruise liners sailing to foreign lands - all are your back drop.
Then we need to remember why this property has been fondly named "Eagles' Rest." The American Bald Eagle frequents the trees between the house and the Bay. In addition, other species native to the Chesapeake Bay region such as Great Blue Heron, Egret, and Osprey and such are often observed resting on this quiet property. Perhaps a watchful eye on the shoreline for something to catch for their meal, or just a respite to feel the bay breezes - either way, this is a common occurrence on the grounds of this estate.
Follow the nature trail established to protect and enjoy the undergrowth and towering shade trees all the way to the shoreline ~ and you will discover a spectacular and most coveted spot on the grounds ~ The sandy beach shoreline of the property! The Owners designed and commissioned a brilliant stair system to the beach - which can easily be hoisted to the platform by any adult, young to elderly. This design was created for erosion protection but also to maintain the privacy of the grounds. Once the stairs are in place, you get the treat of walking your private beach, collecting beautiful pieces of tumbled sea glass and the piece de resistance - Shark's teeth. (It is rumored that the current owners have never left this beach in over a decade without locating one or more specimens ~ and they frequent their beach almost daily!)
So, if you have always been seeking a beautiful setting, a comfortable home for your family and for entertaining, tremendous privacy, and a bit of unique history ~ "Eagles' Rest" is your paradise found.

Welcome to our site, where you will learn a bit more about the Maryland area in order to make your home search a pleasant experience.
At Team Annapoils you will be working with a well-educated Sales Associate who is familiar with all of the different markets that our beautiful Chesapeake Bay area has to offer. We are a group of native Maryland residents. We enjoy sharing our heritage and history with new prospective Marylanders, while proudly representing many high quality locales.
Annapolis and the surrounding area is really a "destination" location for families, retirees, and singles looking for more than just a place to live. The area, while offering an easy and pleasant commute to Washington, D.C. and Baltimore, MD., is selected for the amenities as much as the history and beauty of the area. After a day's work, you can still take a Sail, play a round of golf, horseback ride, or just sit by the waterside and decompress from that business day. Your weekends can be filled with so many activities, you will need to prioritize!
You can also choose from fishing and crabbing at your private or community pier, to shopping the Historic District, touring our many galleries, or our historic sites such as the U.S. Naval Academy or Maryland State House. Many County parks, the B&A Bike/Hike Trail, even bayside Sandy Point Park offer outdoor exploration. Spend a day fishing on the Chesapeake Bay.
Our beautiful location is also a smooth ride to many stunning Ocean resorts, most under two hours drive.
Annapolis is home to the world's largest Power and Sailboat Shows, many festivals throughout the summer and outdoor free concerts from Jazz to Classical. One ride on the water taxi will help you to understand why the "destination" you have fallen in love with, will be your home, too.

Maryland has been called the Old Line State, the Free State and America in Miniature, but – since Massachusetts got to it first – it has never been called the Bay State. This is ironic, since the one geographical feature that has defined its economy and the way of life of most Marylanders is the great Chesapeake Bay, but there you have it.
Still, despite the fact that it isn't the official Bay State, Maryland is primarily famous for the Chesapeake and all the things it can provide, like ports, sailing, and scrumptious Chesapeake Bay blue crabs. All this you can find in abundance in Anne Arundel County, the third oldest among Maryland's 23 counties and seat of its state capital, Annapolis.
Here you will see and feel the deep-seated connection of the Bay to the lives of everyone in the community, and how it has influenced everything about it through the years – from the way the streets were laid out to the kind of food that's usually served on the dinner table. A nautical area with a seemingly endless stretch of coastline, Annapolis and most of the other communities in Anne Arundel County are characterized by waterfront homes, miles and miles of docks, and boats, boats wherever you may look.
Also, as to be expected in one of the oldest communities in one of the country's first states, the past here is still very much a part of the present. A charming blend of the old and the new, Annapolis and Anne Arundel County real estate will tickle your imagination, soothe your weary spirits and inspire you to dream. We at Academy Realty, Inc. bid you welcome and invite you to discover and explore these wonderful bayside communities.
