About the host

Hosted by Laurie Eckrod

Host profile image
We bought Holland Point Preserve in 2011 from a former Washington Redskin and his wife who built the house in 1990. My husband is a avid hunter and fisherman and wanted land that he could hunt and fish but also allow the non-hunters in the family to enjoy the Eastern Shore. We also wanted a property that was close to our home in Virginia. Being only 2 hours from DC, this property had everything we wanted and more.

Why they chose this property

We bought this property after looking at many others because HPP has everything. The house was sold completely furnished so all we had to do was bring some groceries and clothes and we were set. The spectacular sunrises, that we can view from the Master Bedroom, the sound of wildlife serenading us to sleep and the abundance of privacy were also factors in our decision to purchase 'this' property. We couldn't have been more happier in our choice.

What makes this property unique

Because the house sits at the end of Hooper's Neck road on 263 acres, there is nothing that can disturb you. We have endless amounts of land that can be explored, wonderful water activities to enjoy or you can just curl up around a roaring fire and hang with friends and family. Everything that is needed to 'stay put' is in the house or can be found within a few miles.
