Loads of Potential, this is the best way to describe this 59.34-acre farm in Caroline County, MD. Situated between Federalsburg and Preston, this property is perfect for a hobby farmer, vegetable grower, small hunt club, or just a nature fanatic. Approximately 33.2 acres are already protected in a deeded Conservation Reserve Enhancement Program Easement for perpetuity. The easement is held by the Maryland Department of Natural Resources and the Eastern Shore Land Conservancy. None of the acreage is currently irrigated. The soils should support a vegetable operation or pasture fields for a small livestock operation. With the idea of doing their own organic farm operation the owners already removed the remaining cropfields from conventional agricultural practices with the last commodity crop being harvested in 2019. So, the farm has been idle from crop production for the 3-year transition period required by USDA for organic certification. For the hunter or nature lover, the farm is frequented by white-tailed deer, wild turkey, small game, and the occasional wood duck along Faulkner Branch. In accordance with the easement and a Forest Stewardship Plan written by a MD DNR Forester, there was a timber harvest in 2020 and as of now the owners have chosen natural regeneration as the method of reforestation. If the future owner would like to replant additional trees in the harvested areas, I can guide them through that process. In 2020, the home on the property was destroyed by fire and the owners decided not to rebuild. The remnants of the home have been partially cleaned up, however the septic system has some required repairs for a new residence. The connection to the drain field needs repaired due to being damaged during the fire, but the well is still functioning. An additional perc may be found if the new owner wanted to be off the road some. There has been a 2-acre lot proposed with an approved mound septic system. It has not been surveyed. A new well would be required here. A 2002 camper will also convey with the farm. As stated, this property abounds with possibilities for a future owner to create a small homestead hobby farm or manage it as a wildlife/hunting farm. Potential buyers are responsible for doing their due diligence. The property is being sold As-Is.
