Gibson Island MD Real Estate & Homes for Sale

Gibson Island is one of the Chesapeake Bay's crown jewels. Framed by the Chesapeake Bay on one side and a tranquil harbor on the other, the causeway offers truly breathtaking views in every direction. A vision of the Olmsted Brothers in the 1920s, its approximately 200 private residences are dotted along meandering roads. Over two-thirds of the 1000-acre island are tree-covered, a large freshwater pond and nine-hole Charles Blair Macdonald golf course complete the landscape. Miles of scenic shoreline surround this secure gated sanctuary. Round-the-clock gatehouse staffing and a dedicated police force ensure an exceptional level of security and privacy for this close-knit community. One of the most significant estates within this coveted enclave is 622 Magothy Road, a resplendent home that infuses European grandeur into its coastal surroundings. Distinguished and widely recognized for its iconic octagonal turret, the residence sits on over two acres of private, protected waterfront along the broad Magothy River at its inlet to the Chesapeake Bay. A long driveway meanders through wooded surroundings before opening onto a circular motor court at the stately fa ade. Characterized by genuine stucco, a gorgeous graduated slate roof, and dormers integrated at the perimeter of the roofline, the estate evokes a sophisticated Normandy-esque yet coastal ambiance. The grand entrance is nestled beneath a protruding central gable, introducing a palatial floor plan spanning approximately 11,000 square feet of exquisite living space, featuring a solarium and stunning great room . Gut renovated in 1999 with a major renovation completed in 2015, the interiors are supported by contemporary systems while striking a fine balance between modern livability and the preservation of historic elements. Perhaps the most stunning feature within the home is a dramatic pewter staircase railing that serves as a sculptural centerpiece. Formal rooms are generously proportioned and arranged to frame sweeping, 180-degree elevated water views from every large window. Throughout are seven fireplaces, including a large hearth in the great room, which infuse the expansive spaces with a sense of warmth and timeless character. The heart of the informal areas is a chef's kitchen, lined with reclaimed imported stone floors from France and revolving around a stunning 19-foot island that creates a central gathering place. The upper-level primary suite occupies a dedicated wing and showcases elaborate dressing rooms and a lavish bath. Four additional bedrooms, three on the upper level and one on the lower level, are ample in scale and feature ensuite bath. A three-car garage and whole-house backup generator complete the picture. Perched on a hilltop with unparalleled vistas of Magothy sunsets, verdant canopies, and sparkling waters, the manicured grounds are home to towering century-old trees and mature gardens. The covered terrace steps down to a broad patio, off of which branches a walking path leading directly to the water's edge. A private dock with a boat lift enhances the waterfront experience, while a large lap pool is tucked discreetly to the side of the main residence. The Gibson Island Club offers an exceptional array of activities and amenities for residents and guests alike, including boating, tennis, swimming, and championship golf. Access to the Club is offered through a membership process and is not automatically conveyed with the property.
