Welcome to 3770 Ambrosia Rd, a breathtaking water-view cabin nestled in Calvert County’s exclusive Scientists’ Cliffs community. This is more than just a home—it’s a sanctuary where the beauty of nature meets modern comfort, offering a rare opportunity to own a slice of paradise in one of Maryland’s most sought-after communities. A cabin built in 1938 was demolished and this house was rebuilt. Step inside this beautiful cabin built in 2010 and feel an immediate sense of warmth and serenity. The open floor plan allows natural light to flood in, highlighting the gleaming wood floors and framing the stunning panoramic water views from nearly every room. Whether you're sipping coffee in the morning or unwinding by the fire at night, the Chesapeake Bay becomes the backdrop to your everyday life. Designed for both cozy retreats and entertaining, this home boasts an upgraded kitchen featuring custom Alder wood cabinets, Quartz countertops, and a built-in wine fridge—perfect for hosting or simply unwinding with a glass of your favorite vintage. A fireplace in the living room creates a warm and inviting atmosphere, while an art studio provides a creative escape with breathtaking views. Imagine painting with a view of the water, writing your next novel, working in your home office, or simply relaxing in a space that inspires you daily. A lighted paver driveway leads directly to the home, offering both beauty and convenience. At the top of the driveway, a private entrance to the beach allows for effortless access to the water—perfect for early morning walks along the shore or launching your kayak for a peaceful paddle. Expanding your living space to the outdoors, this home features multi-level decking with a see-through railing, designed to maximize the breathtaking views of the bay. The back deck is a true retreat, complete with a pergola-covered seating area and an outdoor kitchen, making it the perfect spot to entertain guests or enjoy quiet evenings under the stars. For year-round comfort, the primary bathroom features heated floors, providing a spa-like experience every morning. Additionally, an automatic generator ensures that you'll never be without power, offering peace of mind and convenience no matter the season. Whether you’re looking for a full-time residence or a weekend escape, this cabin offers the perfect balance of seclusion and community. Wake up to the sound of waves crashing against the cliffs, spend your afternoons hiking the 30 miles of American Chestnut Land Trust (ACLT) trails, or enjoy exclusive access to two miles of private beaches—all just steps from your door. This private, amenity-rich community is like no other. From the pristine beaches and boat ramp to the swimming pool, tennis courts, basketball courts, clubhouse, and year-round community events, there is something for everyone. Whether you prefer an active lifestyle with hiking and water sports or peaceful moments soaking in the natural beauty, Scientists’ Cliffs offers an unparalleled way of life. With HOA dues covering essential services such as public water, trash pickup, road maintenance, and even a children’s summer camp, you can focus on what truly matters—enjoying every moment in this remarkable retreat. Homes in Scientists' Cliffs are highly coveted and rarely come available—and one with views like this is even more rare! Whether you’re searching for a charming second home or the perfect primary residence, 3770 Ambrosia Rd is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live where others vacation. Custom Drainage System and Riprap Installation to prevent erosion and runoff. Schedule your private tour today and experience the magic of this exceptional home for yourself!
