If life on the water is your idea of paradise, then this is the listing for you.

You're just a short sail away from the Chesapeake Bay at this beautiful home in Ridge, Maryland. Anything you could want to live the good life is yours for the taking.

The property is located at 50051 Airedele Road in Ridge and is currently listed for $2,190,000 by Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices McNelis Group Properties. This 6-bedroom, 6.5-bath home was built in 2005 on over 15 acres of prime waterfront land. It is situated on the St. Jerome's Creek inlet, just minutes from the Chesapeake Bay.  

This is no ordinary beach house. The design is open and airy, with an emphasis on elegant entertaining on a grand scale.

A gourmet kitchen is neatly tucked away with its own eat-in breakfast nook. Off to the side, there's an elevator that makes unloading your groceries a breeze.

The incredible water views are a major feature of this home. Enjoy them from the back porch or the upper level balconies, as well as most of the rooms upstairs.

Your out-of-town visitors will love having their own space in the detached guest house. If they don't feel like heading up to the big house for meals, it has its own kitchenette!

With over 15 acres to play with, you have plenty of room to add on to your heart's content. Want an organic garden with a greenhouse? No problem!
