Bohemia Manor Farm is a Chesapeake City, Maryland farm with a long history. The story begins with Augustine Herman, First Lord of Bohemia Manor, who was a Czech explorer, and cartographer who lived in New Amsterdam and Cecil County, Maryland. For his work in mapping for Lord Baltimore he was granted land that he called 'Bohemia Manor' after his homeland. The original manor house was built in 1660. Bohemia Manor Farm remained in the family for many generations until it was sold it in 2003. The current Manor House was built in 1920 and was completely restored in 2004 - 2005 in a classically formal style. There are 11 bedrooms total in the large home which sits on 368 acres. It is listed at $12.995 million.

beautiful old estate, but the lack of landscaping around the main house is odd, makes it seem more like a recent McMansion. And what's that big ugly black thing about 1/2 way between the house and the water? A tree? Stands out against all that green.

ITA, one would expect a formal English or cutting garden of some sort on a property like this. BTW, where are the horses? The listing says it has a stable.
