44 Glendaloch Lane-Immaculate Contemporary Lakeside Home

44 Glendaloch Lane-Immaculate Contemporary Lakeside Home. Hidden off of Deep Creek Drive, where many don’t even know it exists, is 44 Glendaloch Lane. Waiting for a new family to discover the memories just a stone’s throw away from Deep Creek Lake, this immaculate, contemporary home offers five bedrooms and three and half bathrooms for large families or entertaining lots of guests!

Two waterside decks offer great views of the lake. With 50’ of waterfront property and a Type A dock, you can have your choice of two power and one non-power boat right off your own backyard. A walkout finished basement provides a spacious bottom level family room with plenty of room for gaming, watching movies, or just relaxing with friends and family. A hot tub located on the bottom deck is a great place to enjoy the stillness of the night over the lake.

The main level of the house has a beautiful stone fireplace in a second living room that offers a view of the lake. Connected to the living room are the dining room and kitchen giving the entire main level an open floor plan. The dark wood floors complement the cherry finish of the kitchen cabinetry, tying together the area with a simple flow that is calming and welcoming.

While the community part of the house offers spacious living area and room for everyone to gather together, the five bedrooms each provide a quiet retreat that embraces the people who dwell in this lakeside residence when they are ready for a little peace and quiet from the rush of the day.

620 Clark Lohr Road, Swanton, MD

You can almost smell the salt off the ocean as you walk into this tropical paradise. You don’t have to travel to the coast to get the feel of island bliss in this home. The exterior of this three bedroom, two bathroom home graces a quiet cove of DeepCreekLake on Clark Lohr Road with elegance and style. Four decks provide plenty of room for entertaining guests and the outdoor grilling kitchen adds a place where the breeze takes away the heat from cooking on those hot summer nights.

Beautiful wood ceilings cover portions of the decks creating more beauty than the nature surrounding the home already does. Two hot tubs offer relaxation from the stresses of daily life. With 140’ of waterfront associated with this property, it has a Type A dock permit which accommodates two power boats and one non-power boat.

620 Clark Lohr Road, Swanton, MD

Once inside, you are greeted by cathedral ceilings and a spiral staircase that add charm and character to the design of this 2000+ sq ft home. An eat-in bar in the kitchen provides quick serving and clean up. Surrounded by oak cabinets, the built in appliances present a sleek, upscale look. Throughout the rest of the house you will find treasures like the loft giving the kids a perfect hideaway or providing extra sleeping space for your guests. Specialty glass ensures you get the best view of the sun over the lake at any time of the day. And not to be forgotten is the large bar off the lower level family room which contributes to the island feel and provides extra seating for those large parties!

Site and View: It is not easy to locate a special building site at Deep Creek Lake – one that has nearly 350’ of lakefront instead of 100’…one that has 5.29 acres instead of ½ – 1 acre and especially…one that has an unobstructed view of Deep Creek Lake. Six parcels make-up this one-of-a-kind gem, which includes a vacant lakefront lot for added privacy or future expansion. The detached 24 x 26 two-story garage sits on one of the rear sites and is great for storage.

It took a special person, one who was a real estate developer and as astute a purchaser, to assemble this estate with all of these special features.

As you walk through Emerald Oaks and admire the use of native wood species utilized in the finishing of this home, it is easy to understand that only a timber baron could have assembled such a variety of local and rare hardwoods. Now you can enjoy the natural warmth and beauty of wood in each room, while gaining a continual appreciation of these natural resources. Some of the extravagant and beautiful woods used in the interior finishing include: oak, curly maple, sourwood, butternut, ash, wormy chestnut, hickory and cherry. Each bedroom is dressed in a different species to showcase the unique wood grains and give them their own special feel.

Stop for a moment and enjoy the kitchen cabinetry, built from curly maple and understand what you’re seeing. Curly maple is not a species of wood, but rather a rare phenomenon that occurs in only 2% of maple trees. The ripples in the grain pattern create the three-dimensional effect. This wood is so special that you will usually find it in works of art or in the construction of guitars and violins. In fact, one of its nicknames (fiddleback maple) originates from the fact that the backs and sides of violins were made from it.

Energy efficiency: Although the size and uniqueness of the property makes it appear as though no expense was spared in the construction, it is amazing to understand the original owner’s frugality when it came to recurring energy costs. The geothermal heating system and “in floor” heat distribution were all designed to make annual energy consumption as low as possible. As an auxiliary system, the whole house generator runs on propane and serves as a wonderful back-up alternative.

Greetings from Deep Creek Lake-Wisp Labor Day Sale

Greetings from Deep Creek Lake-Wisp Labor Day Sale. The end of the summer is approaching like a freight train and I am very happy to have finally had a chance to get on the lake with family. Our oldest sons, Brendon and Peyton, and their girlfriends came up last week to visit with little brother Griffin. They ziplined, rode the mountain coaster, went for a swim at Swallow Falls, jet skied to the southern end of the lake, enjoyed some Brenda’s Pizza (their favorite DCL pizza), and had ice cream at Huey’s. I had a busy week of appointments but caught up with them to go white water rafting at ASCI, a sunset paddleboard session and an amazing dawn patrol wakeboarding/slalom ski session. We also took little Griffin on his first pontoon boat ride (with the older boys tubing the whole way) to Dutch’s Daughter for lunch on the veranda. I suggest you come visit this weekend and cram it all in. Here are some photos of the 4 days of fun!

Greetings from Deep Creek Lake-Circle R Ranch-Fishing-Tennis

Greetings from Deep Creek Lake-Circle R Ranch-Fishing-Tennis. Are you ready to try something new while visiting Deep Creek Lake? How about venturing to Sand Flat Road and paying The Circle R Ranch a visit. Saddle up with the family (ages 7 and up) and go for a trail ride across a gorgeous ridge line in the heart of DCL. Prices are reasonable, and the experience will penetrate deep memories that will last a life time. Get out and smell the summertime air as you travel on the oldest transportation in the history of the world. You will fall in love with these wonderful animals while having the time of your life!

Check out the fishing report here at the lake as well as any information regarding boat rentals, tackle suppliers and hot spots (If anyone shares their secret spot). I can give you the best fishing tip for the serious angler… Get out there EARLY! As you know fish have a tendency to feed early in the mornings but more importantly you want to get out there before the boat traffic.

Please see the photo below…

Chances are they caught some fish… Early bird gets the worm, which gets the fish:).

It is tennis time again and the 92^nd Annual Western Maryland Tennis Championships will be held August 1-4^th. Played on red clay, the tournament is sanctioned by the USTA.

Dock Dogs McHenry Maryland

Dock Dogs McHenry Maryland. Dock Dogs is leaving positive footprints throughout the world as it currently continues to grow in popularity among all ages, races, and creeds. Deep Creek Lake was very fortunate to once again have these talented canines and dedicated owners display physical talents that would parallel Michael Jordan in human terms. I was lucky enough to catch these wonderful doggies competing in both long and high jump competitions and I can tell you with certainty that these dock dogs rock!

It was absolutely apparent that the dogs were having just as much fun, if not more, than the spectators. The owners of these special pets would get their dogs revved up during the 30-second time limit they had to complete their jump and every one had their own pre-jump ritual. After they set the dogs loose to make the big jump it was fun to watch not only the dogs jump, but also to see the way the owners moved and gyrated. They used body language techniques to “make” their dog sail through the air higher and in some cases defying the laws of physics by moving to the left and right while in the air!

Dogs had fun, owners gained a few grey hairs, and spectators fell in love with every dog as well as getting Dockdogs deeply ingrained in their hearts! Don’t miss it next year!

Greeting from Deep Creek Lake-Gran Fondo-Sailing School

Greeting from Deep Creek Lake-Gran Fondo-Sailing School. This past weekend was the 4^th annual Gran Fondo. Over 1200 riders took to the beautiful back roads of Deep Creek and Garrett County on rides ranging from 22 miles to the infamous Diabolical Double…125 miles. Riders started at 7am and some were still riding at 6pm. Weather was exceptionally hot for the lake in June (low 80’s) making the ride even more difficult. My teammate and Buyer Specialist, Kathy Johnson, has promised her husband she will do the 44 mile ride next year on their tandem bicycle. Stay tuned!

Something to consider next year… I have been spending the week learning the basic sailing fundamentals at Deep Creek Lake Sailing School. On day 3, I am already solo-ing with other students and putting the heat on the veteran sailors on the race courseJ. A lot of the students are on their 3^rd to 5^th year of sailing and they annually take off a week to enjoy the course and brush up on advanced sailing techniques. All kidding aside, you better sign-up in advance as the class is always booked. They hold the school twice each summer at the Deep Creek Lake Yacht Club.

Just a quick hint for your primary home or your vacation home. I’ve had several requests in the last 10 days asking what lockbox I would recommend they use for their home. This is one of the best investments I have made. Combination is very easy to change.

Our featured listing for this week is a great mountain home in the Sunset Ridge community of McHenry close to Wisp. Never been rented; exceptionally clean and new-feeling. http://vt.realbiz360.com/Listing-1304165.html

Our market in DCL is gaining momentum, especially since the interest rate hike. We’ve seen rates go from 3.875% to 4.75% on a 30-year fixed (conforming – under $417,000). Some project that they will come down but I wouldn’t wait to find out! However, there are still some good loan programs. One of our clients was just quoted a 3.175% rate on a 10/1 ARM from a local bank. That’s hard to pass up! The inventory is up with plenty of homes to choose from. Most owners list their properties this time of year in time for the summer selling season. We are still seeing some great deals for buyers. If you’d like for us to do an updated property search for you just shoot us a quick email or call with your search criteria.
