FOR SALE BY OWNER

HERE’S YOUR PLACE ON THE CHOPTANK – IN CHOPTANK

But you’ll have to build it on this waterfront lot in Caroline County, just beyond the Dorchester County line.

This 1.2 acre lot has about 500 feet of shoreline, where the Choptank River is nearly one-half mile wide, and a nice pier, built several years ago. The existing house is not habitable.

Best part: the view down the river is about 2 miles (see photo), and the village of Choptank is quaint, charming and off the beaten track, but has a marina within easy walking/boating distance

The address is 2635 Choptank Main – tax map 63, parcel 47 – last sold in 2004 for $92,000 (before the pier was built).

It’s "for sale by owner" at a price to be negotiated – call 410-546-8412. An adjacent older home and 1.5 acres with no shoreline (Map 63, Parcels 48, 49 and 86) sold for $200,000 in March.

    Use extreme caution when buying a home/land on the water in the state of Maryland. Because of the Critical Bays laws there are severe restrictions on what you can and can't build, renovate, clear, grade or even plant.

    4:44-

    Looks like there's area outside the Critical Area buffer -- in green on the aerial photo (nearer the street) where the old house is located. It should not be a problem to rebuild.

    True, 4:44, but if the home is torn down, one may rebuild on the original house footprint according to the Bay Act.

    anonymous 5:29, SO WHAT? Are you buying the damn property or just sitting around bitching and complaining?

    532-Joe, it's a legit concern. Many people are completely unaware of the laws that regulate building next to the water. To me, it wouldn't matter since I know the laws; but it certainly maybe the reason the current owner is selling the property.

    8:29 --

    Like that Tommy Hilfiger exec that built those cabins in the marsh on the Nanticoke and the State made him tear them down.

    From various real estate site it looks like the owner wants 150K. Seems like a pretty large profit from 92K in 2004. Maybe the reason it's been on the market for so long is the owner simply doesn't realize what the property is actually worth. Remember, it's only worth what someone will pay for it.
