Welcome to Transquaking Lodge, a truly one-of-a-kind property nestled on the banks of the Transquaking River in Cambridge, Maryland, right next to the iconic Blackwater National Wildlife Refuge. Situated on 4 scenic acres, this fully renovated waterfront lodge offers unobstructed views and direct access to one of the most celebrated wilderness destinations in the United States, as recognized by National Geographic. With over 30,000 acres of protected lands at your doorstep, you'll enjoy unmatched access to Fishing Bay and Blackwater without the burden of private refuge ownership. This rare waterfront location cannot be duplicated under today's development regulations, making it an extraordinary find for outdoor enthusiasts, hunters, and conservation-minded investors. Step inside the expansive 6-bedroom, 3-bath lodge featuring 2,900 square feet of open-concept living space, plus an additional 2,900 square feet of climate-controlled lower-level storage. The heart of the home is a grand stone fireplace anchoring the spacious family room-perfect for gathering after a day in the field or on the water. The open kitchen and dining area create a warm, inviting atmosphere ideal for entertaining. Originally built in the 1950s, the home was structurally elevated over 6 feet in 2011 to accommodate waterfront conditions and future-proof the property. A comprehensive renovation in 2021-2022 brought modern upgrades including a new kitchen, bathrooms, HVAC systems, insulation, well and purification system, lighting, and more, while carefully preserving the lodge's rustic character. Outdoors, your private boat ramp provides quick and easy access to world-class hunting and fishing. Dorchester County is home to the elusive Sika deer, diverse waterfowl, wild turkey, striped bass, snakeheads, and blue crabs, all thriving in this unique ecosystem. The lower-level offers over 2,900 square feet of concrete-floor, heated storage, perfect for boats, ATVs, kayaks, and gear. Most furnishings convey with the sale (excluding select family heirlooms, taxidermy and boats), making this a turnkey opportunity for a family retreat, hunting club, or income-generating rental. Don't miss your chance to own this rare waterfront sanctuary on Maryland's Eastern Shore.
