Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage's Anne Harrington Lists 30-Acre Waterfront Severn Side Farm in Annapolis

Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage sales associate, Anne Harrington of the Annapolis Church Circle office, has listed a very rare find in Annapolis – a 30-acre, historical, waterfront estate with more than 883’ feet of water frontage overlooking the Annapolis skyline and the United States Naval Academy. Available for $13.1 million, the estate located at 4 South Winchester Road, also referred to as the “Severn Side Farm,” is a 6,500 square-foot manor home. This six bedroom, five and a half bathroom house is equipped with a swimming pool, tennis court, four car garage with upstairs suite and rolling lawns to the water’s edge. The property offers a serene setting with lots of privacy and is a seven minute drive by boat or car to downtown Annapolis,” said Harrington. “While there are many great waterfront properties that are currently on the market, it is a rarity to find a home in this area with this much acreage this close to Annapolis. The history of the Severn Side Farm is also something you don’t see every day.” The property’s original owner was Charles Ridout, who gifted 1,500 acres to Jacob Winchester in return for his daughter Mary’s hand in marriage in 1831. In the mid-1840s, Jacob and Mary built the Severn Side Farm, which is part of the main house today. The manor house still reflects its history with original flooring, fireplaces and windows. Jacob Winchester, who died during the Civil War, left his legacy in the home. His signature is etched on an original window where the den is currently located. It is documented that Mary Ridout Winchester continued to run the farm until the late 1890s. In the 1900s, additions were made to the original farmhouse, including an entry hall and den. In the 1920s the River Room was added, which was once used as a ballroom, dining room and butler’s pantry. This house has hosted many grand events in its long history including weddings, charity events, holiday balls and Blue Angels viewing parties.
