Price Improvement!! Welcome to your own exclusive waterfront Eastern Shore paradise at Court House Point. This unique property is nestled along the banks of the Elk River in Chesapeake City, Maryland. This historical site, once home to the Cecil County Court House, provides a unique glimpse into the past. Imagine British ships sailing up the Elk River as you stand on this scenic projection. Court House Point was the site of the second county seat from 1719 to 1782, also serving as the terminal of the Elk Ferry. This exceptional property boasts nearly 2,400 feet of shoreline along the Elk River and the Intracoastal Waterway, offering views of ships from around the world navigating the third busiest canal globally. Spanning approximately 8 acres, the property features a nearly 4,000 square foot Federal Style home that includes the old Court House. Additionally, there are two smaller cottages along the waterfront—one fully restored, the other awaiting restoration. Historically, a dock (Wharf) was present on the property. The main home has been modernized while retaining much of its historical charm and character. The home comprises two bedrooms, two baths, an attached two-car garage, and a walk-up third-floor attic. With its very private setting and 8-acre expanse, this is your own personal paradise. The shoreline is protected with Rip Rap. Come and experience the unique charm and historical wonder of Court House Point! This type of property only comes along once in a lifetime.
