About this home
Waterfront homes are common on Kent Island. Waterfront acreage is not. The difference is the land -- and at 1.65 acres with 205 feet of protected shoreline, this property belongs in a conversation with the finest waterfront offerings on Kent Island, not the most common. Waterfront properties with this combination of acreage, waterfront footage, and finishes are rare at this price point.
The locals called it Keister's Folly. In the mid-1940s, Dr. Keister built a cinder block barn on Kent Island overlooking Cox Creek, hoping to raise Black Angus cattle on 25 acres. The acreage was too small for the endeavor -- but the barn he built was extraordinary. In the early 1960s, the developer of the Harbor View community converted it into a residence. The current owners' family purchased it in 1965 and has invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in improvements across sixty years of devoted stewardship. This property has never been publicly offered for sale -- until now.
Situated on 1.65 acres with 205 feet of protected waterfront on Cox Creek, this is one of the largest privately held waterfront parcels remaining in Harbor View. The 75-foot private pier extends into navigable tidal water with approximately 3.5 feet at mean low tide and two boat slips. Shoreline reinforced with professional rip-rap. Flood Zone X -- outside 100-year and 500-year floodplains.
The home offers approximately 2,700 sq ft of living space across two levels with an additional 700 sq ft of unfinished second & third-level expansion space. Five bedrooms, two full baths. The upper-level primary suite features hardwood floors, panoramic water views, attached full bath, walk-in closet, private coffee bar with refrigerator, and a deck overlooking the creek. Updated kitchen with granite countertops, upgraded cabinetry, and high-end appliances. 9'+ ceilings throughout. Solid cinder block construction. 200-amp electrical. Well water, public sewer.
The locals once called it Keister's Folly. The next owner will call it home.
Ideal for those who are seeking genuine Chesapeake waterfront with privacy, deep water access, and a property unlike anything else on the market.
