Set on just over 1 acre in the Village zoning district, this partially wooded property offers a rare mix of flexibility and possibility. This zoning permits a wide range of uses from single-family, multi-family, and/or townhouses, to short-term vacation rentals, and even certain commercial spaces like restaurants (without drive-thru capabilities), you have room to bring your vision to life. The lot is referenced on Plat MLM5/0194 and is not in the critical area, giving you more freedom in how you design and build.

Utility access has already been confirmed with the county: there’s an allocation hookup available. The process includes the $16,200 allocation purchase plus associated paperwork, a $50 application fee, and the cost of the water meter (around $600). Connection to the sewer lateral would be handled directly through a plumber but make sure you call the county to verify.

What makes this property truly special is its location. Life in Worton is about balance, where the quiet of small town living meets the vibrancy of the Chesapeake just minutes away. Dine on fresh flavors at Watershed Alley or Luisa’s Cucina Italiana, enjoy a casual evening at FairLee’s by the marina, or sip wine and small plates at Casa Carmen. On weekends, you can stroll through Chestertown’s Arts & Entertainment District, catch a show at the Garfield Center, or set sail aboard the Schooner Sultana. For outdoor escapes, Betterton Beach, Eastern Neck Wildlife Refuge, and countless parks and trails offer endless ways to explore the Eastern Shore’s natural beauty.

Whether you envision a home, an income property, or a small business, this lot puts you right in the heart of a community that values both tradition and possibility.
