About the Listing REKL3 - 3112954

Merchant Unmatched water views. Over 8,000 sq ft of curated living. A property that doesn’t just stand out—it stands alone. Tucked away in the quiet, rural charm of Shady Side, this architecturally bold residence offers year-round views of the West River and a lifestyle that feels worlds away—yet keeps you close to everything that matters. Step inside and you’re immediately immersed in nearly 8,000 square feet of living space—designed with intention, filled with original art, historical artifacts, and featured in multiple publications for its distinctive character. This, all because this home, this masterpiece, boasts design elements created by one of the world’s most renowned artists. From the banquet-sized dining room to the grand living space that opens to the water, every room delivers scale, flow, and timeless style. The chef’s kitchen anchors the home with form and function, while five spacious bedrooms and 5.5 baths offer more than enough room to retreat away for moments of relaxation and peace. Outside, an acre of manicured gardens and carefully curated sculptures surrounds the home—offering a peaceful backdrop for everything from morning coffee to sunset wine. And with no HOA, this is freedom at its finest. Just off the beaten path, yet only minutes from the dockside restaurants of Deale, the historic charm of Galesville, and the energy of Annapolis—with a surprisingly easy commute to DC and Baltimore—this home offers a balance few properties can match. Offered with the ability for the new owner to keep much of the furnishing and art pieces (to be negotiated with offers), this home isn’t just a place to live—it’s a place to belong. Live bold. Live different. Welcome home.
