Most homes are built. This one was crafted. 2311 Acacia Rd in Port Republic, MD 20676 is now active and listed at $575,000 in the private waterfront community of Scientists' Cliffs in Calvert County. This 3-bedroom, 1.1-bath log home offers 1,558 square feet of living space on a .14-acre lot, with a fully finished walkout basement. Built in 1955, the home was later transformed by a former owner, an artist and woodcarver, into a living showcase of intricately carved woodwork, hand-painted ceilings, and cabinetry carved to resemble a library of books. It's the kind of property that tells a story in every room, and a rooftop deck delivers sweeping views of the Chesapeake Bay, including frequent visits from the neighborhood bald eagle. Scientists' Cliffs itself is one of Southern Maryland's best-kept secrets, with two miles of private Chesapeake Bay beach, a boat ramp, a swimming pool, tennis and basketball courts, community gardens, and more than 20 miles of hiking trails through land managed by the American Chestnut Land Trust. This stretch of Port Republic in Calvert County, Maryland, gives buyers waterfront living with an easy reach to Prince Frederick, Solomons Island, Annapolis, and Washington, D.C., making it a strong fit for professionals who need flexibility along with their water view.
