Bella Vista on the Patuxent River – An Elevated Waterfront Retreat
Nestled on the banks of the Patuxent River in Esperanza Farms, Bella Vista is a five-bedroom, five-and-a-half-bath waterfront retreat where intentional design meets resort-style living. Thoughtfully reimagined with a full interior renovation in 2023 and an exterior transformation in 2024, this multilevel home offers the rare advantage of a fully accessible main level—ideal for multigenerational living, aging in place, or welcoming loved ones with ease.
The main level features a thoughtfully designed, fully accessible primary suite with a curb-less, zero-threshold shower, designer grab bars, and a spacious layout that blends elevated design with universal comfort. This level allows for everyday living without stairs while maintaining the flexibility and privacy of a larger home. Four additional spa-inspired bedroom suites are located throughout the home, including waterfront bedrooms with automatic remote-control shades and a private suite featuring a fireplace and coffee bar with sink and beverage refrigerator.
At the heart of the home, the chef’s kitchen showcases high-end appliances, generous workspace, and a gas fireplace, flowing effortlessly into a welcoming living area anchored by its own gas fireplace. A light-filled all-season sunroom, private gym with sauna, custom entertainer’s closet, and an exceptional laundry room with two washers, two dryers, and a marble dog shower elevate everyday living. The garage adds a second dog and beach-day rinse station for ultimate convenience.
Outdoors, Bella Vista unfolds as a private waterfront resort: a heated saltwater pool with elevated hot tub, two exterior gas firepits, expansive patios for golden-hour gatherings, and a wood-burning fireplace for cozy evenings by the water. A private pier with Jet Ski lift offers direct access for kayaking and canoeing along the Patuxent River.
With a proven 5-star short-term rental history, turnkey design, and the option to purchase fully furnished, Bella Vista is more than a home—it’s a refined, move-in-ready experience, designed to be lived, shared, or enjoyed from the very first sunset.
