About This Home
Tucked away in the exclusive waterfront enclave of Fox Hole Estates, this serene retreat offers an exceptional blend of luxury, privacy, and natural beauty. Overlooking the beautiful Sassafras River, this beautifully renovated residence is designed to impress the discerning buyer seeking peace without compromise.
The home’s inviting interior features rich hardwood floors, vaulted ceilings, and expansive windows that frame sweeping views of woodlands and water. The open-concept layout flows from the dramatic entryway into multiple refined living and dining spaces—perfect for both quiet relaxation and elegant entertaining.
A chef’s kitchen, beautifully updated with generous prep space and an eat-in layout, anchors the heart of the home. It opens to a gracious living area with a wood-burning fireplace and panoramic views that bring the outside in.
Step outdoors to discover a private oasis: a spacious deck ideal for summer gatherings, a screened-in porch perfect for cool evenings, and a hot tub for year-round enjoyment—all surrounded by a rolling lawn and mature landscaping that bursts with color each spring and fall.
The adjacent, lightly used community dock offers approximately 4+ MLW and direct access to the Chesapeake Bay, ideal for boating enthusiasts. Though the property is separated from the riverbank by a 100-foot HOA-owned greenbelt, your waterfront experience is seamless thanks to the dock being located next to the property.
Fox Hole Estates enhances the lifestyle with community amenities including a shared dock, picnic area, and outdoor boat storage. Optional turnkey furnishings are available to make your transition seamless.
This is more than a home—it’s a destination. Discover your Eastern Shore legacy, tour this home while it's available!
