Site and View: It is not easy to locate a special building site at Deep Creek Lake – one that has nearly 350’ of lakefront instead of 100’…one that has 5.29 acres instead of ½ – 1 acre and especially…one that has an unobstructed view of Deep Creek Lake. Six parcels make-up this one-of-a-kind gem, which includes a vacant lakefront lot for added privacy or future expansion. The detached 24 x 26 two-story garage sits on one of the rear sites and is great for storage.

It took a special person, one who was a real estate developer and as astute a purchaser, to assemble this estate with all of these special features.

As you walk through Emerald Oaks and admire the use of native wood species utilized in the finishing of this home, it is easy to understand that only a timber baron could have assembled such a variety of local and rare hardwoods. Now you can enjoy the natural warmth and beauty of wood in each room, while gaining a continual appreciation of these natural resources. Some of the extravagant and beautiful woods used in the interior finishing include: oak, curly maple, sourwood, butternut, ash, wormy chestnut, hickory and cherry. Each bedroom is dressed in a different species to showcase the unique wood grains and give them their own special feel.

Stop for a moment and enjoy the kitchen cabinetry, built from curly maple and understand what you’re seeing. Curly maple is not a species of wood, but rather a rare phenomenon that occurs in only 2% of maple trees. The ripples in the grain pattern create the three-dimensional effect. This wood is so special that you will usually find it in works of art or in the construction of guitars and violins. In fact, one of its nicknames (fiddleback maple) originates from the fact that the backs and sides of violins were made from it.

Energy efficiency: Although the size and uniqueness of the property makes it appear as though no expense was spared in the construction, it is amazing to understand the original owner’s frugality when it came to recurring energy costs. The geothermal heating system and “in floor” heat distribution were all designed to make annual energy consumption as low as possible. As an auxiliary system, the whole house generator runs on propane and serves as a wonderful back-up alternative.

Greeting from Deep Creek Lake-Paddleboard for PAW-Wisp Real Estate

Greeting from Deep Creek Lake-Paddleboarding PAW-Wisp Real Estate. I’ve been blown away by the wind this week, literally. The lake has rivaled the ocean this week as whitecaps slammed the shoreline for the last 10 or so days. I am itching to get out on some patented DCL glass on my paddleboard sessions early in the morning before too long. But on a positive note, the ramps have ripened perfectly over the last few days and I had the opportunity to fry some up in beer batter and tried fusing them into a scalloped potatoes recipe. They turned out excellent.

Here’s a cell phone photo I snapped while hunting for ramps…

I am very excited to bring you news about the Paddling for Paws Paddleboard Race at Deep Creek Lake State Park this weekend. Get up to Deep Creek Lake this weekend and come participate in the Paddling for Paws Paddleboard Race at the Deep Creek State Park. Bring the wife, kiddos and friends and get stoked on paddleboarding while helping a great cause.

Racing this weekend!

Paddleboarding is the hottest sport worldwide at the moment and the great thing about it is that you don’t have to be a world class athlete to enjoy and compete. It all gets started on Friday afternoon (May 10^th) with a local paddle from 3pm – 5pm. This is your chance if you have never been on a stand up paddle board (SUP) to experience a chill paddle around the lake with locals and out-of-towners. You don’t have a paddle board you say? No problem! Wisp will be renting boards for the local paddle and for the race for a mere $10! Here is much more information.

SUP Yoga Friday 5/20/13 @ 6pm

Real Estate/Wisp/Lot information talk on the streets is that National Land Partners is possibly planning to staff their new office during the Olympic Time Trials in May or the middle to end of June.

Deep Creek Lake 2012 Year End Market Statistics

Betsy Spiker Holcomb Nominated for Realtor of the Year!

This year has been fantastic for many, many reasons. My wife Betsy and I are expecting a little boy, due on New Years Eve of 2012. It’s hard to top that with anything else, but I can tell you that I am very proud of my wonderful wife,Betsy SpikerHolcomb, for being nominated for the State of Maryland’s Realtor of the Year award.

Betsy has learned a lot growing up with a Mom that has had her hands deeply submerged in the real estate business for over 35 years. That being said, Betsy has developed her own vast understanding of every specific part of this complex business, like a horologist who masterfully puts together thousands on tiny pieces to make something that runs with surgical precision. I can tell you, having been in this business less than five years, that it will take me many more years to become as knowledgeable about the intricate details that need to be understood to make clients feel secure spending large amounts of money on an investment here at Deep Creek Lake.

Betsy has served the Garrett County Board of REALTORS® (GCBR) in various capacities over the years, including secretary and director of their Board. “Her dedication and commitment in serving on the committee of Public Relations, Task Force, and Builder Liaisons have been instrumental in others becoming involved,” said a spokesperson of GCBR. Holcomb just finished a second term as the chair of the Realtors Action Committee and as a 3-year Director.

Real Estate is only a piece to a puzzle that led her to be dearly respected by her peers. She leads the county in her volunteer work and continually works selflessly as a leader in fund raising to acquire more modern equipment with the Garrett County Memorial Hospital Foundation board. She is also dedicated to the Hospital’s Board of Governors, the GCMH Life Savers Club, as a volunteer for Partners of Animal Welfare and Safety, and as a Garrett Lakes Arts Festival & Dancing Classrooms sponsor.

She is an 11^th generation resident ofGarrettCounty, which is something you do not hear as much in the country anymore. She has “deep roots” here in the county and community and is respected by friends, family, colleagues, peers, and mostly by her husband. I am a bit partial to this wonderful woman, who’s a fantastic wife and soon to be the mother of our first child, but she posses a quality of well rounded perfection that makes this entire community proud of her nomination for Realtor of the Year!
