Welcome to your dream retreat nestled on 26 acres of pristine farmland near the base of Sugarloaf Mountain. Situated on a dead-end road, the property feels private and secluded but is only 40 miles from Washington DC. From the moment you arrive, you'll be captivated by the very rare opportunity this extraordinarily beautiful property provides. The expansive custom-built brick home is the epitome of solid craftsmanship —with high ceilings, custom woodwork, oversized light-soaked rooms, and stunning vistas. The entire interior has been newly painted and is move-in ready. Designed for single-floor living if desired, the main floor boasts hardwood floors throughout, and 2 separate owner's suites, each with large bedroom, en-suite bathroom, and separate entrance. At the center of the main floor is a large family/living room with a wood-burning fireplace and a beamed cathedral ceiling, creating an atmosphere both cozy and elegant. Off the family room is the large country kitchen, featuring custom solid walnut cabinets hand-crafted from trees on the property. Enjoy your coffee and meals in the dining nook surrounded by windows overlooking the backyard. The formal dining space features double crown molding and offers a beautiful setting for special occasions and family gatherings. The main floor also boasts a large office, with floor-to-ceiling solid walnut cabinets and wainscoting, all custom crafted from trees on the property. The office is perfect for remote work, with high speed internet service available from local providers or Starlink. Off the kitchen is a half-bath for guests, and convenience is key with a large main-level laundry room that includes a washer, dryer, sink, and additional cabinets for organization and storage. A stunning, sunroom, with custom cherry woodwork, tile floor, and panoramic windows invitesi the outdoors in and provides a serene space to relax and enjoy the beauty of the surrounding landscape. Off the sunroom and running along the back of the house is an expansive patio, great for barbecues, bird-watching, sunning, and relaxing. Upstairs, the second level boasts new carpeting and two additional bedrooms — each with its own bathroom — and a large bonus room ideal for a variety of uses, whether as an additional bedroom, playroom, media room, or hobby space. Walk-in attic space provides abundant storage throughout the second floor. The lower-level finished basement is an enormous 2488 square feet, consisting primarily of one gigantic room suitable for in-home business, playroom, meeting room, or retreat. The basement also boasts an office and full bathroom which could possibly be used as an in-law suite one day, as well as a gas log stove for additional warmth in the winter. Walkout double doors provide easy access to the expansive yard. The two-car attached garage offers secure storage for your vehicles. The property boasts a large private gated pool; a level and protected recreation area large enough for a tennis or pickleball court; a storage shed; a pergola covered with wisteria; and an old chicken house. Over the past four decades, the owners planted thousands of trees including specimen evergreens, oak, walnut, cherry, maple, hickory, redbud, dogwood, persimmon, fruit trees, and many others, so that the property today is a mix of forest, park-like landscaping, and rolling open fields. Privacy is paramount on this sprawling 26-acre estate, allowing you to escape the hustle and bustle of daily life and experience the serenity of country living. Yet it is in the highly-rated Urbana School district, and if you are interested in commuting to downtown DC, the MARC commuter train at Dickerson is only 8 minutes away with service to Union Station. Beautiful downtown Frederick is only 20 minutes by car, and for the outdoor set, the property is close to hiking trails and recreation on Sugarloaf Mountain, hiking and biking on the C&O Canal, and numerous historical sites.
