Property Description
Serene waterfront opportunity with dock, views and subdivision potential. Tucked away in a quiet, one-road enclave, this charming .89-acre waterfront property boasts panoramic views of Burton’s Prong on Herring Creek—an idyllic setting for boating, fishing, kayaking, and year-round outdoor enjoyment. With a private dock and convenient access to a public boat launch, water enthusiasts will find everything they need just steps from the back door. Originally built in 1964, the classic brick ranch home offers well-maintained, single-level living with picturesque water views from nearly every room. Surrounded by mature trees and lush, established landscaping, the home exudes timeless charm and peaceful seclusion. While the interior retains a vintage aesthetic, it presents a fantastic opportunity for renovation—ready to be reimagined into a stunning waterfront retreat. The generously sized lot invites endless possibilities, whether you envision expanding the existing home, adding a pool, guest cottage, or even building a second story to maximize views. Best of all, this parcel qualifies for subdivision under current County code. Preliminary research indicates the potential to create two buildable lots, with an option to retain the existing home on one and develop the other (contact us for conceptual plans and details). With no HOA, minimal traffic, and unparalleled access to nature, 33668 Baylis Drive offers a rare blend of tranquility, flexibility, and long-term value in a truly special waterfront setting.Property Details
