The ever-changing Chester River is the focal point of the house. Watermen called this section of the river “Moon Bay," hence the name The River House on Moon Bay. Thirty feet from the water’s edge, large sliding glass doors open onto a deck and patio, bringing the beauty of the river into the living areas in all seasons.
To the north is an intimate view of a wooded sandbar; to the east and south is a panoramic view of the Chester River. In addition to 400’ of waterfront, the house has direct access to a mooring buoy that offers approximately 3' of water at low tide and handles a boat up to about 4,000 pounds. Two miles away, Quaker Neck Landing is a public boat ramp for smaller boats. For larger boats, Shipyard Landing on Langford Creek works well. The tidewater habitat has abundant bird- and wildlife.
The layout of the house offers several self-contained activity areas suitable for single or two-family vacations. It includes a large patio and deck; gaming room with an 8x4 billiard table and a card table; spacious living-dining-kitchen area; upstairs dorm and playroom; and south bedroom wing. The house is equipped with 3 satellite TVs, internet access, and an outdoor, gas grill. In summer, an NSCA-certified personal trainer is available by appointment for an extra fee.
Complementing the relaxing atmosphere of the house, colonial Chestertown is 10 minutes away. The town has a lovely historic district, an active theater, art galleries, and a summer music-in-the-park program. Washington College, founded in 1782, enlivens the intellectual life of the Upper Shore, and there are also great opportunities for boating, cycling, birdwatching, horseback riding, golf, hunting, fishing, and clay shooting in the area.
Please inquire about golf, swimming pool, and docking privileges at the Chester River Yacht and
Country Club.
