22540 HARDCASTLE Lane The Ultimate Harris Creek Retreat-Unrivaled Views. Room to Spread Out. Sunsets You'll Never Forget. Welcome to your family's forever getaway: a fully renovated waterfront estate on 2.4 acres with 240+ feet of direct water frontage. Perfectly positioned for stunning western views over Harris Creek, this exceptional property includes a reimagined main residence, newly constructed three-bay garage with guest suite, and a thoughtfully designed pool house for seamless indoor-outdoor living. Enjoy water views from nearly every room. Inside, a welcoming foyer leads to a dramatic great room with panoramic vistas and open flow ideal for entertaining. The sleek kitchen features an oversized island, 48" fridge, six-burner range, drawer microwave, beverage cooler, and ample cabinetry. A cozy fireside game room and a whimsical nautical-themed powder room add charm. A main-level bedroom with en-suite bath offers comfort for guests or those with mobility needs. Step outside to a large WearDeck composite deck with views of the new 100' pier, 10, 000 lb boat lift, and jet ski lifts. The approx. 3-ft MLW (buyer to verify) allows for a variety of watercraft. Spend your days tubing, water skiing, or fishing from your backyard. Upstairs, the expansive primary suite spans nearly the full width of the home, with tranquil water views, spa-style bath, walk-in closet, and space for a future sixth bedroom (once public sewer arrives, expected in 2026). Two additional bedrooms-one en-suite and one with shared bath-plus laundry complete the upper level. Nearly every bedroom offers views of the water or pool. The brand-new 40' x 20' pool features a sunning ledge, bubbler, automatic cover, and is pre-plumbed for a slide. The pool house adds a full bath, kitchenette, lounge area, and pool equipment/storage room with room for a future heater. The detached garage offers even more flexibility: a finished guest suite with en-suite bath, mini-split HVAC, and wet bar rough-in. The lower garage level-also with water views-makes an ideal workshop, studio, or creative space. With an elevated lot above the floodplain, new 5-bedroom BAT septic system, and anticipated sewer connection, this home is future-ready. All systems have been updated: dual-zone HVAC, electrical, plumbing, and roof. Exterior upgrades include Hardiplank siding, composite trim, and low-maintenance decking. A new tar-and-chip road adds smooth, low-maintenance access, rounding out the property's turnkey appeal. Set along the revitalized shores of Harris Creek-home to the largest oyster restoration project in Chesapeake Bay history-this legacy retreat blends eco-conscious living with timeless waterfront luxury.
