Far Away Point
Discover Far Away Point…..and rediscover yourself.
Imagine your vacation beginning as you turn down the mile long lane, lined with century-old cedars… Far Away Point is a grand Eastern Shore Estate that offers a perfect combination of water and land with activities for every season. From a sandy beach to a well-stocked library, this property is perfect for all ages and interests.

Imagine waking early to a silent pink sunrise over the Miles River, watching great blue herons glide across the water as you carry your steaming coffee to the bench at the Point.

Imagine watching your children – unplugged, tuning into the natural world just as you did as a child.

Imagine stepping out into the bright night of a summer sky, brilliantly lit by the Milky Way and seeing stars burst out across the sky in front of you.

Designed by the well known landscape architects Jo and Eloise Ray, Far Away Point was built in 1928 in the Georgian Revival style by a pioneer in the woman’s suffrage movement and founding President of the League of Women Voters in Pennsylvania.  This 3 story brick manse will take you back to the past, to a time of quiet and of peace. With 6 bedrooms, 6 baths, a large kitchen with a butler’s pantry, a formal dining room, living room, an extensive library and lap pool – Far Away Point offers your family a chance to rediscover, restore and reconnect.

Only minutes from charming St. Michaels, this 100 acre estate is both a wildlife sanctuary and an arboretum, with hundreds of mature specimen trees, and acres of woods, fields, lawns and over ½ mile of waterfront to explore.

Imagine yourself, lying in a hammock at the water’s edge, noticing the sounds of a spring evening, feeling the restorative power of nature on your body, your mind, your soul.

Imagine walking hand in hand down the lane to the secluded boat-dock cove to watch the sunset over the glistening water.

Imagine a shadow crossing the ground ahead of you – you look up and watch a majestic bald eagle soar across the lawn and land in a tree right beside you.

Imagine evening yoga on the private beach, with salty water lapping at your toes.

Imagine spending a rainy day catching up on reading in the warm wood paneled library, surrounded by a century of great literature, in the footsteps of some of our country’s leading citizens.

Imagine spending a lazy summer afternoon with your children on the boathouse dock, dangling hand lines into the water, catching our famous Miles River crabs for a fresh supper on the porch.

Perfect for all seasons, Far Away Point offers activities for all ages.  The lush green of early spring, with scented blooms of magnolias and flowering cherries is extraordinary and delightful.  Summer here, with boating and swimming will be etched in your mind forever. Autumn’s morning mists, vibrant fall leaves, flocks of migrating birds and jumping fish are never forgotten. Winter here offers a quiet solitude, a peaceful retreat, with crackling fires and hearty family meals around the table together, as you always wish to have time to do. Far Away Point is a secret hideaway, untouched by time, where your family will want to return each year.

For a vacation that offers you the space to be, to breathe, to surround yourself with the natural world, to connect with loved ones, choose Far Away Point……..and rediscover yourself.
