Quietly situated at the top of Walnut Hill, just outside La Plata’s town limits, this classic Southern Maryland farmhouse offers nearly eight acres of mostly wooded land, providing space, privacy, and versatility. It’s a rare chance to own a La Plata home with acreage that combines historic charm, modern comfort, and potential for future growth. Built in the 1930s, the home has been carefully maintained and updated to suit modern lifestyles. Inside, spacious rooms feature wood floors, plenty of natural light, and ample storage. The layout includes four bedrooms and two and a half baths, suitable for daily living, hosting guests, or multigenerational living. An additional room works perfectly as a home office, library, or creative space, with high-speed Fios internet ensuring reliable, easy remote work in Southern Maryland. The primary bathroom has a heated floor, adding quiet comfort that harmonizes with the home’s character. Above the main level, a large unfinished attic offers promising potential for expansion—whether as extra bedrooms, a studio, or private quarters—giving valuable space for future growth. The land around the house truly distinguishes this property. With nearly eight acres, it’s ideal for gardens, small-scale farming, outdoor projects, or keeping chickens, goats, or engaging in hobby farming. The privacy and quiet offer a tranquil lifestyle, with the possibility of adding another home site or family compound, subject to due diligence. This flexibility is rare among La Plata properties and adds long-term value beyond the home. The setting beautifully changes through all four seasons: winter’s snowfall creates a peaceful scene; spring’s blooming trees soften the view from the wraparound porch; summer’s mature trees provide shade; and fall’s vibrant colors turn the woods into a seasonal spectacle. The porch extends around the front and sides, serving as an outdoor extension of the living space, perfect for coffee, relaxing afternoons, or evening gatherings. Ceiling fans keep outdoor spaces comfortable year-round. Despite its privacy and spacious land, the property is conveniently located only minutes from Target, grocery stores, Starbucks, and local coffee shops—combining country serenity with easy access to amenities. It’s a secluded retreat that remains connected to town. More than just a farmhouse on land, this four-season Southern Maryland property is ideal for those valuing space, privacy, and long-term flexibility. Whether you envision homesteading, working remotely, expanding in the future, or simply enjoying a peaceful setting near town, this La Plata acreage offers an increasingly rare opportunity.
