Kent County is unique with its many diverse real estate options including historic homes, rural farms, secluded waterfront homes, waterfront cottages, residential communities and condos. Residents enjoy access to the Chesapeake Bay, Chester River and other waterways. A drive out of Chestertown through the countryside leads to Betterton Beach where Barbaras on the Bay Restaurant offers breathtaking Chesapeake Bay views.

Primarily rural, Kent County's population has changed little over the last 100 years, and there remains a strong sense of community. Chestertown is the county seat and principal municipality with a population of just over 4,000. Kent County, Maryland was previously honored by Progressive Farmer by being selected as #1 in Best Rural Places to Live in America. The county of 20,000 residents was chosen in part because of its commitment to preserving the county's rural roots, despite being about 90-minutes from Washington, D.C., Baltimore and Philadelphia.

Currently for sale and pictured below is Historic Brampton Inn, c. 1860, one of the most impressive of the Antebellum dwellings in Kent County. A "Select Registry" property, Brampton is currently offered for sale. Set on 20 acres, the beautifully restored 1860 Eastern Shore manor house offers gracious hospitality and 13 ensuite refined lodgings near downtown Chestertown.
