Your Private Oasis on the Wye River Awaits

Imagine life on 10 acres of pure tranquility, overlooking the pristine Wye River and the beautiful, partially developed Wye Island.

This New England-inspired waterfront estate is an incredible retreat, with 811 feet of riverfront and 5,100 sq ft of stunning living space. Built in 2019, every inch of this home — from the gourmet chef’s kitchen to the light-filled living room and vaulted main-level primary suite — showcases the perfect blend of timeless design and modern luxury.

Step outside to enjoy the saltwater pool and charming pool house, or entertain under the stars in the rustic barn by the water’s edge. With a private pier already equipped with multiple boat and jet ski lifts, water adventures are only steps away.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity for peaceful, luxurious living on Maryland’s gorgeous Eastern Shore. Schedule a private tour with Brad Kappel today!

Fish For a Cure Reels Donations In 🎣

The Chesapeake Bay will be busy this weekend with the sound of boat motors and fundraising, as Fish For a Cure rolls out the rigging for their annual tournament benefitting cancer research. The catch-and-release tournament supporting the Cancer Survivorship Program at Luminis Heath and the DeCesaris Cancer Institute by asking anglers to catch striped bass, perch, and invasive species; measure them; and then release them for prizes.

“What could be better than raising money for cancer and going fishing at the same time?” says Lenny Rudow of Team Fishtalk/Proptalk, who won the Grand Slam fishing category in 2023 and have raised over $75,000 since 2017. Registration is closed, and shore party tickets are sold out. But you can still donate by clicking here.
