Lolly and Lindley purchased this House in 2003
Why Lolly and Lindley chose Tall Timbers
Tall Timbers is a sleepy waterfront community. It is where people pass slow summer days; and huge Rockfish are caught in the creeks, crabs from docks. There are more places to paddle than you will have time available to visit: *Historic Old Mill Gift Store, *Historic St. Mary’s City *One Room Little red schoolhouse *Drayden Afro-American school house. *Piney Point Light House and Museum *German U-Boat Underwater Park *The Patuxent River Naval Air Museum (PAX) *Point Lookout State Park and Civil War Museum *Sotterley Plantation, *St. Clement's Island-Potomac River Museum *Calvert Maritime Museum. *Anna Marie Gardens and Sculpture Forest. During the winter the community is magical and can be winter wonderland. Fall colors are magnificent, especially when you realize you are not the one to rake the leaves. Just watch them fall. Be on the look out for deep discounts of midweek - midwinter visits.
What makes this House unique
The National Potomac Heritage Scenic Trail is at our front door, there is a wide variety of wildlife and beautiful vistas of Herring Creek and the Potomac River can be seen along this trail. Experienced paddlers may continue onto the open waters of the Potomac River. Bird watchers may love in love with the creeks. Explore the many nearby historic parks such Colonial St. Mary's City, Light Houses at Point Look Out and Piney Point, the Maritime Museums at Soloman's Island and Piney Point. Chose from several wonderful local watering holes with fabulous views and docks. Toast to First Friday wine tasting at local wineries.
