South East Real Estate and Home issued the following announcement on Sept. 9.
A former monastery on 22 riverfront acres is Maryland’s most expensive listing, at $24.9 million. This price is actually a steep discount from the $32 million it was listed for in 2012, when it initially came on the market.
The 22,000-square-foot home on Winchester Road in Annapolis, MD, has sheltered monks, a smuggler, and now a leader in the seafood industry.
“It’s a pretty spectacular estate just in terms of the finishes and features, and is a very interesting house from the perspective of history,” explains listing agent Dave DeSantis. “It was originally built for an industrialist in Baltimore who manufactured weapons for wars but was also a pretty notorious smuggler who apparently made moonshine in the basement of the house.”
