Introducing “Top of the Rock” — Your Ski-Access Mountain Retreat Awaits

Nestled in the exclusive Ridge Run community high atop Wisp Resort, 152 Ridge Run Rd is the epitome of mountain luxury living. Listed at $1,799,900, this 2022-built villa seamlessly blends rustic charm and modern elegance across three levels, offering a rare ski-in / ski-out experience.


A Home That Lives Like a Getaway

  • 6 Bedrooms, 5.5 Baths in ~2,744 sq ft (with over 4,000 sq ft of finished space).

  • Built in 2022, this villa marries contemporary finishes with mountain character — exposed wood beams, walls of glass, and multiple gas fireplaces.

  • The main level features an open layout: gourmet kitchen with a center island, dining area, and great room — perfect for both daily life and entertaining.

  • Head downstairs and discover the recreation room (wet bar, space for a pool table) and additional bedrooms.

  • Outside, the decking, fire pit, and hot tub extend your living space into the mountain air under stunning views.


⛷️ True Ski Access — And So Much More

One of the most compelling features here is direct ski access to Chairlift #7, making winter days effortless. No skiing commute — you’re out your door.
In warmer months, the lifestyle extends: hiking and biking trails, nearby golf, lake activities, and the Adventure Sports Center are all within reach.


Details Buyers Appreciate

  • HOA Fee: $1,126 annually

  • Taxes: Approximately $9,465

  • Style: Villa

  • Utilities: Propane heating, central air conditioning, public water/sewer


Why This Home Stands Out

  • Move-in ready thanks to its recent build and careful finishes

  • Generational appeal — ideal for families, multi-guest stays, or as a luxury rental

  • Lifestyle first — not just a house, but a mountain retreat with convenience and views

  • Turnkey for entertaining — from cozy fireplace evenings to decks under the stars


If you're looking to own a high-end mountain sanctuary with true ski access and year-round appeal, this is an opportunity you won’t want to miss. Location map, pictures and full info sheet: https://www.dclrealestate.com/search/details/2zr/0/

Just Closed at Deep Creek Lake – 130 Wisp Adventure Road


I’m excited to share that I recently closed on 130 Wisp Adventure Road here at Deep Creek Lake! A big congratulations to my sellers, and a heartfelt thank you for trusting me to represent them in the sale of their home. It’s always an honor to help homeowners through such an important milestone.

This mountain-style home was listed at $699,900 and sold for $669,900, which comes in at 95.8% of the asking price. The property’s incredible location—just steps from Wisp Resort and minutes from the lake—made it a great fit for buyers who wanted the best of both lake life and mountain living.

Every sale tells a story, and for me, it’s about more than just numbers. It’s about the people, the memories tied to each home, and helping clients take the next step with confidence.

If you’ve been thinking about buying or selling real estate in the Deep Creek Lake area, I’d love to connect and share what’s happening in the market right now. Whether it’s a vacation home, an investment property, or your full-time residence, I’m here to help make the process smooth and successful.

Just Sold: 793 Marsh Hill Road – Lakefront Living at Deep Creek Lake

I’m excited to share the sale of a truly special property on Deep Creek Lake — 793 Marsh Hill Road in McHenry, Maryland. This beautiful lakefront home closed for $1,650,000, and I was honored to represent the sellers in this successful transaction.

A Journey with Great Clients (and Friends)

One of the best parts of being a real estate agent at Deep Creek Lake is the relationships built along the way. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of helping these sellers with their real estate journey here at the lake — selling two lakefront homes and helping them purchase another.

Through the process, we’ve become friends, which is something I value just as much as the professional side of the work. They may not currently have a place at Deep Creek, but their love for the lake is undeniable. I know they’ll be back, and I look forward to helping them with their next lakefront purchase when the time is right.

Deep Creek isn’t just a destination — it’s a lifestyle. From boating and water sports in the summer to skiing and snowboarding at Wisp Resort in the winter, lakefront living here offers something for every season. It’s no wonder so many people choose to make Deep Creek part of their lives, whether for vacations, second homes, or year-round living.
