An established estate on the shores Otsego Lake since the early 1820's, Brookwood Point is home to a 100-year-old Italianate Renaissance garden and is virtually an outdoor classroom.


The 22-acre property is unique in that it hosts a diversified ecosystem: meadows and fields, seasoned and young woods, wetlands, shorefront, lake, creek and historic cultivated gardens and is the starting point for the Captain John Smith Chesapeake National Historic Trail, a water trail extending from Otsego Lake to the Chesapeake Bay. Brookwood Point is open to the public April through November, dawn until dusk.
