Yes, it is possible to own river front property at an affordable price. This one-of-a-kind home with a workshop, garages for six cars, three carports, 150 feet of river frontage, a dock and more is in Denton, Maryland, on the bank of the Choptank River on the Eastern Shore.
Here is a view of the dock and the edge of the home. Tie up your boat or launch your canoe or kayak. Sitting on the porch is like being on the water and it's no longer permissible to build this close to the river. Flooding is not a problem!
The view across the river is a preserve - no buildings - just greenery, osprey, blue herons, wood ducks, hawks, owls, and even bald eagles. It's fun to watch the action from the porch.
The river has a deep channel for larger boats. Fishing and cruising boats are best because the bridges on the Choptank do not provide clearance for sailboats with tall masts. Sailors who want to cruise in the Chesapeake Bay may want to keep sailboats in marinas at the mouth of the Bay. There is a nearby public ramp and a marina in town.
