Property Description
The main residence is distinctive in both design and setting, with a playful modern aesthetic, soaring ceilings reaching nearly 18 feet, and an open floor plan oriented toward the water. Two bedroom suites occupy the main level, each with an ensuite bath and its own exceptional outlook, one overlooking the Wye River, the other facing a private cove. Upstairs, two additional bedrooms share a Jack-and-Jill bath, with each opening to its own private deck.
Designed for both everyday living and memorable family gatherings, the property embraces the natural beauty of its surroundings. An outdoor kitchen creates an inviting setting for entertaining, while the approximately 90-foot pier, with an estimated 5'+ mean low water, provides direct access to the river and the Chesapeake beyond. A private duck blind and abundant wildlife further connect the property to the land and water.
A charming guest house provides comfortable accommodations for extended family and friends, with a kitchenette, bedroom, full bath, and sweeping water views. A second-floor loft, with exceptional views across the river and surrounding farmland, provides an ideal setting for a home office, studio, or quiet retreat.
Life on Wye Island is defined by its unspoiled landscape and enduring connection to the outdoors. The island is celebrated for its quiet coves, abundant wildlife, and sporting traditions, with opportunities for boating, crabbing, fishing, waterfowl hunting, and deer hunting. Here, days can be spent on the river, along the shoreline, in the surrounding woods and fields, or simply enjoying the remarkable sense of privacy that comes with living in such a protected setting.
Meticulously maintained and ready for its next chapter, The Point represents an increasingly rare opportunity to own a private waterfront estate in one of the Eastern Shore's most pristine and unspoiled settings. A place for family and friends to gather, enjoy the water, and experience all that Wye Island and Eastern Shore have to offer. Agent related to Owner.
