The owners of Prospect Point were pioneers at Wildcat on the Bay, the first to commission a custom-designed waterfront house in the ultimate privacy of this northernmost building site on Chincoteague Bay, a site immediately adjoining the wildlife refuge where no development will ever occur.

To maximize the drama inherent in this sublime setting, the designer placed the building diagonally on the site and anchored it with a spacious screened porch at the very boundary of the refuge. The view to the south down the bay, framed by tall pines and given great depth and perspective by the salt marsh and a succession of coves and points, is the grandest of them all. Up the bay to the north, along the salt marsh, American egrets and great blue herons are nearly always seen, and to see a bald eagle flying out from a tall pine to soar above the bay is not uncommon.

For assured privacy, each of the four bedrooms is reached by a separate hall, each has its own dressing area with private bath, tub and shower, and each has a private balcony overlooking the water. Visitors find that this excellent bedroom arrangement works especially well for groups of adults or extended families traveling together. Everyone has a secluded space for quiet moments. Each of the four bedrooms has its own distinctive art objects and decoration.

The kitchen is ideally located in the Great Room to allowfood service to the connecting screened pavilion, and conversation flows without interruption across the kitchen island. A separate floor-to-ceiling pantry cupboard affords extra convenience.
