Aldendale house holds a storied past, ranging from tales of Civil War era buried silver in Horn Harbor to a rumored safe house for former members of the clandestine services. The features of this river hideaway are as exciting as its past, whether you’re looking for a cozy fisherman’s cottage or family compound. Situated on a picturesque waterfront lot, this property offers incredibly peaceful views of Horn Harbor. Morning sunrises meet an expansive porch, while your own saltwater pool (3ft-6ft depth) makes for a refreshing afternoon swim. The pool house is perfect for entertaining or a potential primary suite, w/ wood burning FP, parquet floors, & vaulted ceiling. Hidden behind a secret door, you’ll find a massive vintage safe (which will remain with the property). The original farmhouse is connected by a greenhouse & courtyard, w/ potential to expand the kitchen or a primary addition with water views. Architectural charm stretches back to the early 19th c., including pieces of the original wallpaper that were salvaged & framed in the living room. Buyers looking to renovate or expand will find some TLC has already been done for you (a newer kitchen & vinyl siding, mini splits, fresh landscaping & paint, new pvc pipes in the crawl, water filtration system, repaired brick walkway, replaced pier platform, wood repair & new gutters on the porch). An easement across the expansive lawn leads to a huge 2 car garage, w/ water & electricity, a perfect hobby barn or extra storage. Running water & electricity extend to the largest platform in the area (20x40), deep-water (6ftMLW) pier, complete with a vintage fish-hook & TWO boat lifts, perfect for the most serious of fishermen, a 2nd small dock & private creek access, the perfect kayak or canoe put-in. Tucked away off of the main road, a custom wrought iron gate bearing the home’s name welcomes you to the property, where a rare opportunity awaits. For those seeking something beyond the ordinary, Aldendale delivers. **This home is being SOLD AS-IS**

Tucked at the very end of a quiet cul-de-sac and reached by a long, hidden gravel drive, this renovated home sits on 2.62 secluded acres you cannot see from the road. The setting feels like a private compound, yet you’re only a minute from Put-In Creek and the East River ~ easy access to Mobjack Bay without the flood-insurance bill. Step inside and the house feels fresh and ready. Gleaming hardwoods run through the main living areas, bedrooms have soft new carpet, and a full coat of paint makes everything bright. The kitchen is the showpiece: stylish new cabinets, high-end granite, and quality appliances that make cooking and entertaining easy. Updated baths complete the refreshed interior. Practical extras buyers notice immediately: a newer 50-year roof with gutters, a Generac generator for peace of mind, and a two-car garage. Above the garage is a private fourth bedroom with new flooring and its own half bath, ideal as a guest suite, office, or quiet getaway. Out back, a large deck overlooks mature landscaping. Sit, grill, or gather while the trees give you real privacy. Historic Mathews (founded 1791) still offers the slower, water-oriented life people come here for—shipbuilding roots, Chesapeake closeness, and a small-town rhythm that hasn’t been paved over. Move-in ready, no flood insurance required, generous acreage, and genuine seclusion just moments from the water. This is the kind of property that doesn’t come along often in East River Estates. Seller offers a one-year home warranty with the purchase of the home.
