Located just minutes from the Mount Vernon Harbor & Boat Ramp, you're ideally positioned for days spent fishing, crabbing, and embracing the laid-back lifestyle of Somerset County - with direct boating access to the beautiful Chesapeake Bay right from the Wicomico River, opening the door to endless waterfront adventures. And when you're ready for a change of scenery, you're only about an hour's drive to the beaches of Ocean City, the wild natural beauty of Assateague Island, and the charming coastal town of Chincoteague. Whether you're looking for a full-time home or a weekend escape, this is the kind of place where memories are made the old-fashioned way - barefoot summers, river breezes, and time spent with the people who matter most.
