The work of finding land like this is the hard part. Here, it is already done. Two acres of buildable wooded land in one of Anne Arundel County's most remarkable locations. This parcel in Edgewater is tucked within the footprint of the Smithsonian Environmental Research Center, bordered by SERC conservation land to the South and East. Your backyard borders 2,650 acres of protected forest, wetland, and Chesapeake watershed research land. That natural setting is protected and permanent. The land is flat, perc-approved, and ready for a single-family home with an accessory dwelling unit. Anne Arundel County permits one ADU per lot with no minimum lot size requirement, giving you flexibility for family, guests, a rental, or a studio. A feasibility study confirming site suitability is complete. The site sits outside the Chesapeake Bay Critical Area as well as the 100-year flood plain. Old Muddy Creek Road is fully improved. This is a rare find in a historic, tight-knit community near the Rhodes River and West River, along the western shore of the Chesapeake Bay. The road is quiet and the setting feels like a getaway, and yet everything is nearby. There are extensive shopping and dining choices just five minutes away. For the water and boating enthusiast, there are nine marinas just minutes from your door. Mayo Beach Park and Beverly Triton Nature Park are 7 miles away, Quiet Waters Park 10 miles, and Annapolis City Dock just 11. Washington, D.C. is 30 miles away, Baltimore 36 miles. Fort Meade, NSA, and Joint Base Andrews are all an easy commute. Some land just feels different. This is one. Bring your dreams & your builder! Plat, perc approval, and feasibility study available for review.
