Lakefront Living at Deep Creek
Rare real estate investment opportunity in Maryland’s premier four-season resort community. Situated on 0.7 ± acres with public utilities and rare Town Center Zoning, this Deep Creek Lake property combines true lakefront living with unmatched redevelopment and investment potential.
Lakefront living is at the heart of this property, with a large back deck and covered tiki bar overlooking the water. Features include a private sandy beach, lakeside firepit, an additional buydown extending to the lake, and a Class A double boat slip with integrated PWC port. Two storage sheds, dedicated kayak racks, a detached garage, a carport, a handicap access ramp, and a large parking area add convenience and functionality.
Originally built in 1940 as a Deep Creek legacy cabin, the home has been extensively renovated and expanded with modern upgrades. The main home includes two bedrooms, two baths, and approximately 1,730 sq ft with vaulted ceilings, skylights throughout, central air, furnace, and a native stone fireplace with gas insert. The master suite features its own walk-in closet. A detached one-bedroom, one-bath guest house with kitchenette and living space adds flexibility for hosting, rentals, or multi-generational use.
For investors, the property is already approved and inspected by Garrett County for rental use in its current condition, eliminating delays and providing immediate income-generating potential.
This property is more than a home — it is a rare chance to invest in the heart of Maryland’s first-choice four-season resort destination. Deep Creek Lake is the state’s largest freshwater lake and a year-round draw, offering skiing at Wisp Resort, whitewater rafting, hiking, and mountain recreation. The combination of water, mountains, and forests fuels steady tourism demand and strong rental performance, making it Garrett County’s most important economic engine.
With Town Center Zoning and direct frontage on Highway 219, the property offers unmatched visibility and flexibility for commercial, residential, or mixed-use ventures. Its walkable location near restaurants, shops, entertainment, and marinas further strengthens both lifestyle and investment appeal. As a trophy asset with rare zoning, a Class A dock, and panoramic lake and mountain views, this property represents both scarcity-driven value and lifestyle enjoyment.
Whether developed further, repositioned for rental income, or enjoyed as a private retreat, this property stands as one of the most versatile and desirable offerings on Deep Creek Lake.
