Set within the established Chesapeake Ranch Estates community of Lusby, this 0.88-acre property at 12428 Catalina Dr offers a rare blend of privacy, space, and access to one of Maryland's most beautiful natural regions. Large parcels in planned communities are increasingly hard to find, especially those surrounded by mature trees and located minutes from the Chesapeake Bay, Solomons Island, and major commuter routes. If you've been searching for land where you can build a home that feels like an escape without being isolated, this is the kind of opportunity buyers wait for. The setting here is what draws people to Southern Maryland. Lusby is known for its wooded landscapes, rolling terrain, quiet roads, and proximity to water. The Chesapeake Ranch Estates community is especially popular because it offers a lifestyle centered around nature, recreation, and breathing room. Residents enjoy private beaches, lake access, trails, playgrounds, and community amenities while still being close to everyday conveniences. The area feels peaceful and tucked away, yet practical for full-time living. From the property, you're approximately 15 minutes to Solomons Island, one of Maryland's most beloved waterfront destinations known for marinas, seafood dining, boardwalk views, and boating culture. You're around 20 minutes to Prince Frederick, 35 minutes to Lexington Park / Patuxent River Naval Air Station, 1 hour to Annapolis, and roughly 75-90 minutes to Washington D.C. depending on traffic. That makes this location attractive for military personnel, remote workers, retirees, second-home buyers, and anyone wanting a slower pace without giving up access to jobs and city amenities.
