Property Description
Welcome to Timerity, a natural sanctuary tucked away on an 189-acre waterfront estate where Southern Maryland history, productive farmland, mature woods and protected tidal waters come together in one extraordinary property. Documented by the Maryland Historical Trust as Timerity Farm, the property reflects the agricultural and maritime heritage of the Drayden area and the historic St. Georges Hundred landscape of St. Marys County. The Trust identifies the residence as a mid-19th-century historic resource, while an earlier survey records an owner tradition suggesting 1790. At the heart of the farm stands a distinctive one-and-one-half-story frame residence with a traditional side-passage/double-parlor plan, hardwood floors, separate fireplaces, painted moldings and a rare historic brick pent chimney. The home offers three bedrooms, including one on the main level and two upstairs, along with two full baths. A working country kitchen opens to a generous gathering space, while the side porch provides a relaxed setting for entertaining, crab feasts and enjoying the surrounding waterfront views. The property unfolds across approximately 189 acres of open farmland, mature woodland and secluded shoreline, creating an exceptional sense of privacy. Roughly rectangular in shape, the land occupies the end of a peninsula and is surrounded on three sides by water, with the public road coming to an end at the entrance to the property. The 189 acres have approximately 1/3 open farmland and 2/3 mature woodland and secluded shoreline. The agricultural fields are presently leased to a local farmer, while the wooded portions provide habitat for the abundant wildlife for which Southern Marylands tidewater country is known. Approximately 5,000 linear feet of protected shoreline extend along School House Creek, with boating access through St. George Creek to the Potomac River. A private pier and a grandfathered previous pier depicted by the remaining pilings serves the residence with water depth estimated at approximately 6 feet at Mean Low Water further up School House Creek. The Schoolhouse Creek shore is historically protected waterfront sheltered from severe storms and is well suited for boating, fishing, kayaking and paddleboarding. In addition to the historic residence, the property includes three modest cottages and three barns/outbuildings, adding flexibility for agricultural use, storage, workshops, guest accommodations or future restoration. Transferable Development Rights TDR have not been exercised and remain available. Few properties combine this degree of acreage, waterfront, privacy and documented history in one setting. Whether envisioned as a private family estate, working farm, sporting retreat, waterfront sanctuary or legacy property to be preserved for generations, Timerity, offers a rare opportunity to own an exceptional piece of Southern Marylands Chesapeake tidewater landscape. This estate has seen a diverse history. Ownership allows you to write the next chapter adding to the growing legacy of this waterfront retreat.
