Annapolis 'WOW' House: $10M For Unmitigated Waterfront Opulence

ANNAPOLIS, MD — If you happen to be in the market for a $10 million home on a 26-acre lot with a private beach nearly a mile long, you might want to check out this offering listed on Realtor.com. If it so happens you're not in the market for a 1908 Georgian mansion that's described as "Annapolis' most spectacular real estate property," you might want to check it out anyway — just for giggles.

Consider for a moment that this property has had all of two owners, owners who apparently went to great lengths in maintaining and cultivating the wonder that is Historic Holly Beach Farm. For the asking price, owner No. 3 will get all that as well as grand English gardens and an interior that certainly befits the phrase, "wow house." Here's a detailed description from Realtor.com:

• Price: $10,000,000
• Square Feet: 11000

Historic Holly Beach Farm with its 1908 Georgian mansion, exquisitely renovated by acclaimed Arlene Critzos and Warnock Studios, is magnificently sited on a 26 acre oasis with 3/4 of a mile of waterfront and private beach. From every exposure of the home and property are breathtaking scenic water vistas. The home itself consists of approximately 11,000 sq. feet of formal and informal rooms providing for both full scale entertaining and comfortable family living. From the dramatic two-story foyer with circular floating staircase, to the exceptional formal living and dining rooms, to the gourmet chef's kitchen and private paneled library, no detail has been compromised in presenting this masterpiece reflecting the pride of ownership. Further enhancing the home's wide appeal are sensational English gardens, rolling yards all the way to the private beach and an fantastic pool house that would delight the most discerning buyers. Ideally located within an hour of Washington DC and only 7 minutes by boat and 10 minutes by car to downtown Annapolis, this one of a kind estate has only had two owners since its construction in the early 1900s.
