Overview

Welcome to Messongo Farm, a rare 41± acre Eastern Shore retreat offering the perfect blend of rural privacy, modern comfort, and multi-structure versatility. Ideally located near Route 13, this beautifully improved farm compound is designed for relaxed country living, entertaining, guest accommodations, recreation, and everyday enjoyment. From the moment you arrive, the setting feels special—open fields, mature landscaping, peaceful views, and thoughtfully updated spaces create a private sanctuary with room to spread out.

The renovated farmhouse is filled with warmth and character, featuring gorgeous hickory flooring, a welcoming living room with fireplace, an elegant dining area, and a bright sunroom that invites you to slow down and enjoy the natural surroundings. The modern kitchen offers granite countertops, stainless steel GE Profile appliances, an ice maker, vaulted ceiling detail, and a comfortable layout for gathering. The main level also includes a full bath, while the upper level offers a spacious bedroom, loft area, and walk-in closet, creating a charming and functional retreat.

Extensive improvements add comfort, efficiency, and peace of mind, including new air conditioning in 2025, new 200-amp electric service, full rewiring, replumbing, Silverline/Andersen tilt-out windows with new screens, solid-core Masonite doors, blown-in cellulose insulation, architectural 30-year shingles, propane heat, underground electric and Wi-Fi to the house, and a 500-gallon buried propane tank serving the house, screen house, and Lodge.

A standout feature of the property is the incredible screened pavilion, built for entertaining with 6x6 posts, engineered trusses, a hand-laid brick fireplace, propane burners, grill, charcoal grill, ceiling fans, lighting, and plenty of space for memorable gatherings. Nearby, the climate-controlled “Corn-crib” offers additional conditioned flex space with heat and A/C, making it ideal for hobbies, storage, overflow space, or creative use.

The detached Lodge/MIL suite adds exceptional flexibility with an open-concept living room, dining area, and kitchen, soaring cathedral ceilings, two bedrooms, a full bath, and an attached garage with laundry area. The large screened porch with hot tub creates the perfect place to unwind after a day outdoors. The Lodge also features propane heat, Andersen/Silverline windows, architectural shingles, vinyl/shake-style siding, insulation, and an on/off generator connection.

Outdoors, Messongo Farm continues to impress with beautifully landscaped grounds featuring 16 river birches, 35 crepe myrtles, a 90+ year-old basswood tree, Nellie Stevens hollies, a fig tree, Concord grape vine, loblolly pines, knockout roses, and numerous boxwoods. Two elevated wildlife stands, including one with electric, offer added recreational value.

Additional storage and utility space include a large equipment shed with metal sliding doors, plus another shed for tools, equipment, and property maintenance needs. A riding lawn mower, miscellaneous tools, hot tub, appliances, beds, select furnishings, kitchen items, linens, ceiling fans, blinds, attached light fixtures, and more convey, making this an especially appealing opportunity for buyers seeking a well-equipped rural escape.

With 41± acres, two living spaces, multiple outbuildings, entertaining areas, modern upgrades, new septic and well upon construction in 2010, and a peaceful Eastern Shore setting, Messongo Farm is more than a property—it is a private retreat, multi-generational living opportunity, recreational getaway, and country lifestyle opportunity all in one.
