For Realtors & Buyers Considering Saefern

Welcome to Saefern!

Saefern Saddle and Yacht Club (SSYC) is a waterfront woodland community off Anne Arundel County’s scenic Severn River. SSYC owns the waterfront shoreline for all Members to enjoy though some Saefern homes do front the water with non-riparian rights.

Developed in 1966, Saefern is beloved. Nearly 25% of our owners have lived here 45+ years or are second generation Saefernites! 97% of residents are members of our voluntary Club.

SSYC membership is highly encouraged by the community. Membership provides residents access to Saefern’s many feature assets: community docks with available slips, swimming and wading pools, fishing pond, tennis and pickle ball courts, dog park, walking trails and stables.

Saefern’s strong volunteer spirit is another asset. SSYC maintains the community grounds and feature assets preserving homeowner property values and assuring sustainability for future residents. Our members work together to maintain and beautify Saefern. This community spirit benefits all by keeping our annual dues the lowest in the area.
