Welcome to 5108 Mountain Road, an exceptionally private 2.5-acre estate just steps from the entrance to exclusive Gibson Island, where timeless craftsmanship, modern luxury, and multi-generational living come together in a setting that is both elegant and unexpectedly serene. Reimagined in 2025 and offering more than 5,000 square feet of combined living space, this property invites you to experience a lifestyle rarely available — one that unfolds with understated grandeur and a sense of quiet retreat that can only be appreciated through a personal tour. Nearly an acre of the property is beautifully cleared and manicured, creating an exquisite foreground for outdoor entertaining, while the remaining land is protected forest conservation, ensuring lasting privacy and a natural backdrop that changes beautifully with the seasons. Soft light filters through the trees, views of a neighboring horse farm add charm and tranquility, and the overall setting feels worlds away, yet effortlessly connected to daily life. Inside the main residence, every detail has been curated with intention. Coffered ceilings, rich hardwoods, architectural millwork, and sun-drenched rooms create a refined warmth that flows throughout the home. The chef’s kitchen, with custom cabinetry, quartz surfaces, professional-grade appliances, and a bright breakfast room overlooking nature, is both a showpiece and a welcoming everyday hub. The living and dining rooms offer gracious spaces for gathering, centered around a fireplace and opening onto the composite deck. Two ensuite bedrooms on the main level provide sought-after flexibility, elevating comfort for guests, extended family, or those who prefer main-level living. The upper level is entirely devoted to a remarkable primary suite — a retreat defined by scale, serenity, and thoughtful design. A spa-inspired bath, expansive walk-in closet, cozy fireplace, sitting room, and private office or gym create a sanctuary that feels both luxurious and deeply personal, while the balcony offers a peaceful perch for quiet mornings or soft, filtered sunsets. The lower level adds an additional bedroom, full bath, spacious den or media room, and access to the oversized garage. Enhancing the property even further is the detached cottage — a fully independent residence that elevates this offering into something truly extraordinary. Complete with its own full kitchen, private bedroom, living room, full bath, and washer/dryer, the cottage is ideal for multi-generational living, long-term guests, an au pair, a caretaker, or a sophisticated home office or studio with absolute privacy. Very few properties in the region offer a secondary dwelling of this caliber, and its presence transforms the estate’s functionality and appeal.
Outdoor living is equally compelling, with a paver patio and built-in grill, lush open lawn, composite decking, and a long private driveway that easily accommodates large gatherings. The location — a quiet, desirable stretch of Mountain Road near Gibson Island and moments from Downs Park — combines prestige, natural beauty, and convenience, complemented by the highly regarded Chesapeake school district.
5108 Mountain Road is a property defined not only by its features, but by the feeling it evokes — a sense of arrival, of calm, of possibility. It is a home that reveals its finest qualities as you move through it, making an in-person tour essential to truly appreciate the craftsmanship, privacy, scale, and livability it offers. This is a rare opportunity to experience a lifestyle of quiet luxury and exceptional versatility in a setting that is undeniably special.
