A rare opportunity to acquire an important part of colonial history. These 14 Acres are part of the Chesapeake Bay region, mapped initially by Captain John Smith in 1608. His reports of "a land of pleasant living" and the promise of Religious Tolerance with land grants led 300 (mostly Catholic) Englishmen and women to risk the journey to America and establish the third permanent English settlement. This 14 Acre Homesite (named Tolerance) is part of the original 30 square miles that Lord Calvert and Leonard Calvert purchased in 1633 from the Yaocomaco Indians. The land, already cleared and planted, gave the settlers a significant advantage. The Port City of St. Mary's became the Capital of the English Province of Maryland. In 1694, as part of the reestablishment of an Official Religion in England, the Capital was moved to Annapolis to reduce Catholic influence. The original home was constructed in 1934 in the Colonial Style. Repairs and improvements have been true to the architectural theme. The property enjoys unusual privacy, with approximately 350 feet of protected shoreline, a private pier, a wetland buffer on the right, and a wooded buffer on the opposite side. The detached garage features a 1-bedroom apartment with a living room, a kitchenette, and a screened-in porch overlooking St. Mary's River—ideal space for your guest, au pair, or groundskeeper. The previous owner built a massive chicken coop with power and water. It's currently being used for storage. There is plenty of space to install a pool on the street side of the house. It's located close to St. Mary's College of MD, PAX River Naval Air Station, Point Lookout, and several state parks throughout the county. There are endless opportunities! Please take a look at the photos, which include descriptions of the house.
