**2.49% Assumable Mortgage offered!** Step into a piece of history at 7456 Eylers Valley Flint Road—an enchanting 1875 farmhouse nestled on 10.21 peaceful acres in the heart of the Catoctin Mountains. This rare retreat beautifully blends old-world character with modern comfort, offering a sanctuary for nature lovers, history buffs, and anyone craving a slower, more scenic pace of life.

The stunning family room addition is the crown jewel of the home, with vaulted ceilings, abundant windows, and a skylight that floods the space with natural light.

The kitchen is both functional and full of character, sure to delight the home chef with its layout and authentic touches. Three bedrooms and two bathrooms provide comfortable accommodations, while an additional septic system on the property offers future expansion potential. Modern upgrades include an efficient HVAC system, a ductless mini-split, and a leased solar system—bringing 21st-century efficiency to this 19th-century gem. Outside, enjoy the calming sounds of Little Owens Creek right next to your land just steps away from your own springhouse or sit back and take in the wildlife—woodpeckers, wild turkeys, and deer regularly stop by. Relax with your morning coffee on the front porch or savor golden hour on the rear deck that is fenced for your dogs and grill area to enjoy the summer barbeques. Whether you're seeking serenity or inspiration, this property delivers both.
