Chesapeake Ranch Estates and Drum Point are two distinctly separate and unique communities that combine together as a census designated location. The communities are located in Southern Calvert County and nearby Solomons, MD, a popular resort town. Calvert Cliffs state park and fossil grounds, the Calvert Cliffs nuclear power plant, and a liquefied natural gas terminal are all in close proximity, as well. The Solomon Islands and the Patuxent Naval Air Station are other attractions that residents like to frequent. Home to over 11,000 residents, the Chesapeake Ranch Estates is a community of about 4,000 homes affectionately called the “Ranch Club.” Water attractions abound as within the community is one manmade lake, Lake Lariat, and two private Chesapeake Bay beaches, Driftwood and Seashore. There are also horse stables, horseshoe fields, a duck pond, and a camp ground. Much of the population is made up of families with young children who attend any of the several excellent choices of schools within a ten mile radius. Drum Point is a charming waterfront community famous for its historic lighthouse that was first built in the 1850s. The homes in both the communities range greatly and consist of single-family homes, reasonably priced beach homes, stunning cliff top waterfront homes, modest log cabins and huts. Chesapeake Ranch Estates and Drum Point are truly special and warm places for you and your whole family to live, learn, and grow.
