Description

Steeped in history and surrounded by the timeless beauty of Maryland’s Eastern Shore, 1130 Old Love Point Road presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own an extraordinary family farm in the heart of Kent Island. Spanning approximately 36.73 acres, this remarkable property blends agricultural heritage, historic character, and exceptional future potential in one of the Shore’s most storied locations.At the center of the property sits an historic Victorian farmhouse dating to circa 1896, recognized by the Maryland Historical Trust as a historically contributing structure representative of the classic 19th-century Delmarva farmhouse. The home and grounds reflect generations of stewardship and pride of ownership, offering opportunity and authenticity.Old Love Point Road itself carries a rich and fascinating history. Before the Chesapeake Bay Bridge connected Maryland to the Eastern Shore, Love Point served as one of the principal gateways to the Shore. Ferries, steamships, and rail lines once brought travelers from Baltimore and Annapolis to Kent Island, where they continued eastward across Maryland and Delaware. Love Point became known as a romantic waterfront destination and transportation hub, welcoming visitors arriving by ferry and the historic Queen Anne’s Railroad. The property’s location captures the spirit of that history while offering exceptional convenience to today’s modern traveler. Situated just minutes from Route 50 and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, the farm offers easy access to Annapolis, Washington D.C., Baltimore, and the Delaware beaches while maintaining the peaceful charm of Eastern Shore living.Currently farmed and designated as prime farmland, the property is ideally suited for a gentleman’s farm, equestrian estate, vineyard, winery, agritourism venue, or luxury country retreat. The Development Analysis Report identifies a winery as one of the site’s most favorable and viable uses, noting that agritourism operations such as vineyards and wineries are specifically encouraged within Queen Anne’s County’s future agricultural economy plans.In addition to its agricultural and lifestyle appeal, the property also offers substantial long-term development potential. Located within the County’s Suburban Estate zoning district and designated growth area, the site may support future residential subdivision opportunities, including large-lot estate development, clustered single-family communities, multifamily concepts, or additional residential lots under current moratorium guidelines.Whether envisioned as a private family compound, vineyard and winery destination, legacy investment, or future development opportunity, 1130 Old Love Point Road represents a rare chance to own a meaningful piece of Maryland’s Eastern Shore history — where the past, present, and future converge along one of Kent Island’s most iconic roads.
