Looking for a quaint secluded farm to call your own? You won't want to miss this property! A moved and reconstructed charming 1840's log house with modern additions is the centerpiece of this small farm set on almost 18 acres among the trees in northern Carroll County, Maryland. Main floor living includes a very large bedroom/great room with two-story vaulted ceiling and skylights, full bathroom with laundry facilities, a living room with log and chinking walls, and a brand-new kitchen. Two additional bedrooms and another bath complete the two upper floors of the log cabin, and a basement provides additional living or storage space. Lots of windows all around gives great panoramic views. Enjoy front porch views of yard, pasture, fields and the valley, or side porch seating with a view of the forest. The gravel driveway winds through trees to this secluded property which has a peaceful, tranquil air.
The farm includes a small barn with feed room, two fenced pastures which currently contain sheep, fiber goats and a mini-donkey as their guardian, and the potential for additional pasture in a large grassed area. The current owner has added in a raised bed garden, fruit bushes, lavender and several fruit trees. Wild raspberries and blackberries are abundant on the farm, which is approximately half in trees of both native and other varieties, and half cleared land. Other outbuildings include a detached garage, a structure with renovation potential and a run-in shelter in the pasture. The farm's apiary containing four colonies of bees takes advantage of the farmland and wildflowers in the area. There are two fields currently leased to a neighboring farmer who plants corn and soybeans yearly.
Large number of improvements over the last three years include new kitchen, all PVC plumbing, additional heating and cooling in the form of ductless minisplits, upgraded electrical, new well pump, new well pressure tank, and much, much more.
If you are looking for a small farm to call your own, this is the place. The peace and quiet of the country and your own small farm, but a short drive to all the amenities, with amazing neighbors, this is one of Carroll County's prettiest places to live.
