Experience elevated coastal living with this exceptional waterfront estate in Fishing Creek, Maryland, perfectly positioned on one of the island’s highest points—outside the AE flood zone—with water views and frontage on both sides of the property. This custom-built home offers approximately 2,400 sq ft of light-filled, thoughtfully designed living space that blends luxury with laid-back charm. Enjoy breathtaking sunrise and sunset views over the Chesapeake Bay from nearly every room, and step outside to your private extended dock with installed utilities, rip-rap shoreline protection, and direct access to boating, crabbing, and kayaking. Inside, the gourmet chef’s kitchen features quartz countertops, stainless steel appliances, and a custom driftwood island, opening to a spacious great room with floor-to-ceiling windows, natural shiplap, exposed beams, and a custom electric fireplace. The home includes three beautifully designed bedrooms—including a serene waterfront primary suite and a one-of-a-kind bunk room with built-in beds and captain’s quarters—plus two spa-inspired bathrooms with heated tile, Jacuzzi tub, custom tilework, and a heated bidet toilet. The outdoor deck and custom instant-hot outdoor shower offer the perfect place to unwind after a day on the water. A massive value add awaits in the temperature-controlled, oversized four-car garage with a built-in office and unfinished space above—ideal for a guest suite, studio, or rental potential. Surrounded by natural beauty and total tranquility, this is more than just a home—it’s a rare opportunity to own one of the Eastern Shore’s premier waterfront locations. Schedule your private showing today and see why this is the ultimate coastal retreat.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
