Fort Hill Getaway
Waterfront home close to everything Southern Maryland has to offer nestled on St. Leonard Creek about 1 hour outside of Washington, DC.
Only 15 minutes to Solomons Island, 7 minutes to Flag Ponds Nature Park and Beach, 5 minutes to Calvert Cliffs Nuclear Power Plant, and 10 minutes to Calvert Cliffs State Park.
Try your luck fishing and/or crabbing or just relax in the sun on our private pier. Take a kayak to Vera's for lunch, or go for a hike at Calvert Cliffs and do some fossil hunting.
Why is the house named Fort Hill?
Our property was the Fort Hill Battery Site during the War of 1812. It was from our backyard that elements of the 36th U.S. Infantry and U.S. Marines established an encampment to protect the U.S. Chesapeake Flotilla’s left flank.
Trees were cleared offering clear sight lines down the creek as far as Vera's sits today and as far up the creek as the Town of St. Leonard. A boom was placed across the creek and cannon anchored either bank of the creek serving as a defensive measure against the British invasion.
