About This Home

Tucked down a long, tree-lined drive, this one-of-a-kind estate spans 7.92 acres, offering a private country setting with no direct neighbors and a level of peace and seclusion that’s hard to come by. The property is thoughtfully laid out with a stately brick residence, a private pond complete with its own dock, barn, and multiple outbuildings—creating the perfect setup for equestrian use, hobby farming, or simply enjoying wide open space with purpose. Inside, the home offers over 4,600 square feet with a layout that feels both spacious and functional. Rich mahogany walls, original hardwood floors, and detailed millwork—including crown molding, chair rail, and wainscoting—bring warmth and character throughout. Two fireplaces anchor the main living areas, while the main level features a primary suite along with two additional bedrooms. Upstairs, you’ll find three more bedrooms, bonus spaces, and generous storage—flexibility for a variety of living arrangements. Two enclosed three-season sunrooms overlook the water and surrounding landscape, offering a natural extension of the living space—ideal for quiet mornings, evening wind-downs, and taking in the view year-round. The land itself is a standout feature. Open space provides room for pasture, recreation, or future vision, while the pond and dock create a peaceful focal point that truly sets the tone for the property. All of this is just minutes from downtown Salisbury, TidalHealth Peninsula Regional, and Salisbury University, with easy access to Route 50 for travel to the beaches or metro areas. As an added bonus, the property sits directly across from Pemberton Historical Park, offering access to miles of scenic trails, riverfront views along the Wicomico, open green space, and year-round events—all just moments from your front entrance. A setting like this rarely becomes available—private, established, and positioned for both convenience and quiet living.
