Showell, Maryland

Apple Precision.

Showell is a small unincorporated community in northern Worcester County, sitting at a key crossroads on US Route 113. It's classic Eastern Shore agriculture · poultry houses, cornfields, and Showell Elementary as the community anchor. For buyers seeking authentic rural Maryland with a 15-minute beach drive, Showell offers what neighboring Berlin's prices have squeezed out.

Showell properties skew rural · acreage, farmsteads, and modest new subdivisions. Land use and septic perc-test results matter as much as the house itself.
