About This Home

1 Lavallette Rd

One-of-a-Kind Waterfront Gem in Historic Crisfield, Maryland – Welcome to 1 Lavallette Road! Step into a piece of Maryland’s rich coastal history at this extraordinary 80+ acre waterfront estate, famously known as the “Home of the Terrapin King.” Nestled at the edge of Crisfield where the land meets the Chesapeake Bay, this historic 1925 residence is surrounded by water on three sides, offering panoramic views from every single room. Whether you're sipping your morning coffee or winding down at sunset, the sights and sounds of nature—waves crashing against the rocks and wildlife calling just beyond your windows—create a serene, soul-stirring experience. Boasting 2,921 square feet of updated living space, this 5-bedroom, 2-bathroom home blends timeless coastal charm with modern comfort. Inside, luxury vinyl plank flooring flows throughout, enhancing the home’s bright, airy feel. The large primary suite is a private coastal escape with a pellet stove, double closets, and breathtaking water views that make every morning feel like a vacation. One of the home's most beloved spaces, the Captain’s Room, offers a commanding view through wide bay windows—stand here and it truly feels like you’re steering a grand vessel across the bay. Two spacious screened-in porches and a second-floor balcony allow you to savor the outdoor beauty from multiple vantage points. This rare waterfront estate comprises three separate parcels . The home sits on just over an acre of Peninsula. The water frontage encompasses over 13 acres and you’ll find an additional 67 acres to the east filled with trails and hunting opportunities with approximately 20 acres of Upland. This property doesn't just offer a home—it offers a lifestyle. Enjoy your own personal beach, private dock, and endless waterfront views that shift with the light and seasons. Once the headquarters for Albert Tallmadge LaVallette Jr.’s legendary terrapin soup industry, this storied site blends rich history with modern-day coastal living. Currently operating as a successful Airbnb, 1 Lavallette Road presents strong rental potential for investors or second-home buyers looking to generate income while enjoying the Chesapeake lifestyle. Whether you're looking for a full-time residence, a weekend retreat, or a one-of-a-kind investment, 1 Lavallette Road delivers charm, history, and unmatched waterfront tranquility.
