The James Deale House and Marina is a small marina property located in the heart of Deale, Maryland, located on Rockhold Creek. The history of this property dates back into the 1700's when ancestors named "Deale" owned over 200 acres along the shorline, including this 2 acre parcel. The abundant history surrounding this property will surely carry it through it's next life with new caretakers of the land. Watermen still occupy the marina and come back to shore every morning with their bushel baskets of Maryland Blue Crabs. One crabber predicts a "good year for crabs" in 2016. Great news for his father who sheds soft shell crabs right on the property. The future of this quaint marina includes the restoration of both transient and permanent boat slips with the vision of a permaculture based concept plan. This includes stabilizing the shoreline with gardens of indigenous edible, fruit and nut bearing plants, trees, and shrubs. In the future, the grounds will be available for intimate, tented, waterfront events. Long term future plans could allow for on site overnight stays. Stay tuned for a natural, evolutionary process that honors the history and natural beauty of this little gem in the waterman's town of Deale, Maryland.
