Welcome to The Haven at Hills Point Farm. Our 86-acre farm is nestled in a south facing cove with open views of the Chesapeake Bay. The original home dates back to 1850. There are approximately 32 wooded acres and 54 acres of tillable/agricultural land.
We raise Huacaya Alpacas. Our heard consists of six females and three males.
We raise chickens for fresh eggs. The chickens are penned, but you're welcome to the daily egg yield during your stay. In the past we have cultivated corn, soybean, wheat and sorghum. There are four ponds on the property that serve as a fresh water source for American bald eagle, brown eagle and osprey. In the fall and winter our ponds are visited by flocks of migratory birds who feed on leftover corn in our fields. We have resident Canadian geese and wood ducks inhabiting the tidal pond and the occasional visit from the neighbor's peacocks. Other common wildlife sightings: Deer, Turkey, Fox, Blue Heron, Egret & various species of waterfowl. The Haven is a special place all year round, but harvest time, Thanksgiving and Christmas is really wonderful.
One of our most treasured past times is life on our 600' pier. We fish for Striped Bass (Rockfish), dip for crabs on the pilings, catch crabs in traps and store them in our live well before we steam them for dinner. Our family and guests enjoy watching crabs shed their hard shell while going through the malting process. Time it right and you may be eating a soft-shell crab sandwich for lunch and steamed crab for dinner! Our farm has 600'+ of white sand beach coastline and 600'+ of stone rip rap. We fish from the shore & pier, set up beach chairs and bathe in the sun. We love having picnics on the beach. Everyone loves to wade in the shallow water and seine for bait fish and baby crabs. Our children love to find animal & bird tracks in the sand, build sandcastles, driftwood shelters and search for cool stuff that the tide brings in. The water is shallow so taking the kayaks and paddleboards out often results in the kids using them as a launch pad to jump into the water.
Main house offers a gourmet kitchen, stainless steel appliances including Wolf gas cooktop w/6 burners and gas griddle, double electric oven, dishwasher, warming drawer and microwave. Kitchen is generously equipped for entertaining. Some of the small appliances we have available are Nespresso coffee maker, Keurig, drip coffee maker, pour over, electric kettle, coffee press, bean grinder, shaved ice maker, Panini maker, various types of blenders, kitchen aid mixer, toaster, electric skillets, 2 crock pots and more.
The kitchen is the main gathering place with counter seating for 4 and/or highchairs. We primarily use our 15’ x 31’ screened in porch for sit down meals, morning coffee, afternoon naps and evening gatherings. In the late afternoon the sun pours into these rooms during the sunset. Formal dining room, 8 comfortably/10 with insert. The breakfast area in the great room is surrounded by windows and morning sun, seats 8 comfortably. Massive family room with 42" wood burning fireplace and 60” Smart TV, Blue Ray DVD player, Apple TV and wet bar. The children’s play area if off the family room. House is setup with board games, some crafts and toys. When our kids need a break from the sun they love sitting on the window seat while creating art and chasing their imaginations in play.
Playing hard will work up an appetite! Enjoy cooking/entertaining guests or prefer to sit it out? From time to time we call in the professionals so we can stay engaged in all the fun. In-home chef services and catering are available. You must experience a crab and oyster fest! We like to set up in the yard or screened porch, cover the tables with brown paper and gather around for a few hours of picking crab. In the fall we add fresh oysters to the menu. Sometimes we catch and steam our own crab! But we have a local secret. When you get tired of picking crab but still want more, fry up a jumbo lump crab cake from Soft & Salty Seafood only .8 miles down the road. You can also buy live or cooked & seasoned hard crab, soft shell crabs, peelers for bait/fishing, crab cakes, cold salads, Smith Island dessert cakes and homemade ice cream from Soft & Salty Seafood.
For grilling enthusiast, take a stab at the XL Green Egg smoker/grill or the Weber propane grill. Call ahead and have fresh meat delivered to the house from Simmons Center Market in Downtown Cambridge.
Other favorite pass times for kids: swing from the tree, hunt for dragon flies, fireflies, praying mantis, grasshoppers, cicadas, frogs, toads and turtles. At night set up lawn chairs around the fire pit for conversations, singing, music and s'mores! Step a few feet away from the fire and be amazed by the stars in the sky. Kids enjoy chasing each other and playing hide and seek in the dark with flashlights and headlamps.
We stock firewood in the shed for the family room fireplace and backyard fire pit. Yard games, bikes and toys can be found in the shed. Enjoy easy bike rides, walks or runs on flat scenic roads.
Bring your boat, sailboat or jet skis! Ragged Point public marina with a boat launch less than 2 miles down the road. After you launch, bring them out of the Little Choptank River to our beach. 2' MLW at the end of our pier.
Take a swim in our bayside heated in-ground saltwater pool, 19’ wide x 39’ long x 7’ deep end. Pool is open mid-late May and closed at mid-late September. Pool is not heated during July, August & September. Contact owner with special requests.

Disclaimers:
1.) Boat lifts not available for use by guests.
2.) Jet ski lifts not available for use by guests.
3.) Beach is kept clean however; the tides, storms and winds can bring in large amounts of seagrass in late summer and early fall. There are times when it is not practical to remove it all from the beach. This makes entering the water a bit messy because the seagrass collects at the water line.
4.) The Haven is an active farm. Guests may experience farming activities in early spring and early fall. This is a favorite time, but you may not be expecting it.
5.) Lawn maintenance activities are weather dependent. Guests will be asked to accommodate crews while cutting and edging occurs. This usually takes less than 90 minutes.
6.) The immediate areas around the house are treated for ticks. However, guests should take precaution to apply repellant and perform a tick check in the evenings. This is normal when living outdoors on a farm.
7.) The property is treated for mosquitos, but only so much can be done. Guests should take measures to apply repellant if necessary. Eventually you get used to life on the Eastern Shore and sometimes it means the mosquitos come out.
8.) Jelly fish come in late August when the water temperature peaks but can be sooner.
