Only one hour from Washington, D.C., and even closer to Annapolis and Baltimore, lies an exquisite, waterfront, 14,000+ SF Mediterranean villa. With extraordinary craftsmanship throughout, this magnificent property offers spectacular views of the Chesapeake Bay and Magothy River. Located on more t...han three acres of beautifully landscaped land, the villa commands a high promontory as would a villa in the Mediterranean yet is safely ensconced within unique and private Gibson Island. Built in 1929 as one of the early homes on Gibson Island by prominent Marylander Robert Garrett, this historic property was extensively renovated from 2006-2009 to make it consistent with current functional and life-style perspectives, while maintaining the soul and organization of the original house. Precious natural travertines and marbles, sustainable woods, salvaged terracotta, and vintage chandeliers, as well as exquisite Venetian plastering complement the rooms for comfortable day to day living, entertaining large groups, and resort-like family gatherings. Gracing the main house are five bedrooms, all en suite, a total of six full bathrooms, three powder-rooms, a glassed conservatory, a magnificent great room with an enormous fireplace and stunning wet bar, and multiple French doors that open onto a large porticoed terrace overlooking the water. In addition, there is a serene library with fireplace, relaxing family room with fireplace, gourmet kitchen, breakfast room, wine cellar, elevator and sauna. The heated pool and hot tub are enhanced by two pergolas and an outdoor kitchen, all overlooking the gorgeous gardens with incredible water views. An entrancing old-world Coach House features a movie theater with plentiful seating on the main level, a studio apartment on the second level with full kitchen, and one and a half baths, in addition to the number of bathrooms and bedrooms in the main house. This beautifully landscaped property includes a sculpture garden, vineyard and berry rows, native plants, multiple trees, including date and apple trees, hundreds of shrubs, and thousands of perennial flowers. Attached to this listing is a photographic tour and two videos of this very special property. Information on Gibson Island: Gibson Island is an enchanting private island in the Chesapeake Bay within one hour of Washington, D.C., Annapolis and Baltimore. Located by Maryland's western shore, there is no Bay Bridge crossing; a manmade causeway connects the shore to the Island. Offering an absolutely extraordinary setting, the Island comprises two by three miles with seven miles of shoreline. Two thirds of the Island is undeveloped and is owned by the Gibson Island Corporation, the homeowners' association. The remaining third comprises about 200 plus residential home sites and a private country club. On the Island is a 43-acre spring fed freshwater lake in which one may enjoy non-motorized watercraft activities such as paddleboarding, canoeing, kayaking, fishing and swimming. Gibson Island offers enormous privacy and security--an entry gatehouse is staffed around the clock and the Island is patrolled by the Gibson Island Police Force (GIPD). The Gibson Island Corporation Service Department offers yard maintenance and landscaping and other services for homeowners. There is a full-service yacht yard. From the Island, it is just a 20-minute drive to BWI Airport and the neighboring Amtrak/Marc train station. The Island houses a private country club (membership by invitation) offering yachting, both power and sail, year-round fine dining, tennis, pickleball, paddleball, youth programs., an award-winning Charles Blair Macdonald designed 9-hole golf course, swimming, croquet, skeet shooting, and more.
