Waterfront Rivah Home with EV Charger and Gourmet Kitchen

The house is located on a quiet creek off of the Great Wicomico River, just a few miles from the Chesapeake Bay.

This home is located on a private point of land with water on three sides. There are water views from all rooms in the home. The property includes 16 acres surrounded by rural farmland, water and woods. Wildlife include deer, ducks, ospreys, and bald eagles. Rivah Home is perfect for a quiet family retreat, romantic weekend, reunion or nature lovers adventure.



Many guests bring their own boat - plenty of room both at dock, and to store trailer.

The Rivah Home has also become a destination for kayaking and paddle boarding.

Three kayaks are provided. These are recreational kayaks. If you would like to bring a sea kayak, etc. there is plenty of space to park between outings.

Explore creeks with lots of wildlife including Barretts Creek, Horn Harbor Creek, and Ball Creek.

More experienced kayakers may want to paddle to Reedville or Dameron Marsh Natural Area Preserve. Both are about seven miles away from the Rivah Home.
