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.
