Back on market due to buyers work situation. Price reduced for quick sale. Appraisal came in at $560K. This 4 bedroom, 3 full bath property shares a boundary with 9400 protected acres offering a rare, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live next to two of Maryland’s most cherished and expansive natural preserves; the 1,670-acre Merkle Wildlife Sanctuary & The Patuxent River Park. The home sits on 5.78 flat, cleared acres at the very end of a quiet private road, offering exceptional privacy and direct access to nature. Merkle is managed by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and is home to extensive trails, educational programs, and thriving habitats for migratory Canada geese and native wildlife. Adjacent to Merkle is the 7,800-acre Patuxent River Park, managed by Maryland-National Capital Park and Planning. Together, these two protected areas create more than 9,400 acres of uninterrupted preserved land TOUCHING YOUR NEW BACKYARD—ensuring lasting privacy, scenic views, and a tranquil, nature-rich environment. The setting is perfect for a horse farm, with the ability to ride directly from your property into miles of natural trails and open space. This 4-bedroom, 3-bath, 2028 Square Foot Colonial home features an open-concept kitchen and family room with a large brick fireplace, perfect for gathering. Two bedrooms and a full bath are conveniently located on the main level, offering flexibility for guests or multi-generational living. Primary suite has soaker jetted tub and separate shower. There’s no carpet—hardwood floors on the upper level and wood/tile on the lower. A newly renovated kitchen includes sliding glass doors to the backyard. For more outside enjoyment, there’s a deck off the second floor with views over the open meadow. The oversized 3-car garage is a major highlight, offering abundant room for vehicles, equipment, storage, or hobbies. A new roof was installed in 2021. Pellet stove for low cost heat. Enjoy the best of quiet country living with convenient access to major destinations: approximately 20 minutes to Joint Base Andrews, 30 minutes to the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., 35 minutes to Fort Meade in Odenton, and 30 minutes to the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis.
