Horse enthusiasts will appreciate the south-facing four-stall shed row barn that includes a tack room and generous equipment storage areas. The property features two lighted riding rings, one with a grass surface and the other with sand and rubber footing for year-round training. Rolling organic pastures provide excellent grazing for horses, while 20 acres of preserved open space border the property and offer trail riding and hunting opportunities. The property is just 25 minutes from Fair Hill's premier equestrian events and training facilities.

The open, expansive main level features natural pine flooring throughout, with 9-foot ceilings that enhance the sense of space. The large living area centers around a stone-faced wood-burning masonry heater and provides plenty of room for gathering with family and friends. This main level flows seamlessly between the kitchen, formal dining room, living room, private study, powder room, and convenient laundry facilities. The second floor houses the primary suite with a year-round view of the ships sailing to and from the Baltimore Harbor, with a walk-in closet and private bathroom, along with three additional bedrooms that share a full bathroom. The third floor provides valuable flexible space with skylights, a half bath, and a separate room that easily adapts as a home office, guest suite, or media room. The lower level showcases an authentic Finnish sauna complete with shower and changing room, creating the perfect opportunity to warm up before taking a refreshing plunge in the pool. The remaining basement space offers extensive recreation and storage areas to accommodate country living needs. Outdoor amenities center around the recently renovated 45-foot swimming pool with its center lane stripe and a new deck with beautiful pasture views. The three-car detached garage includes ample storage space, while mature landscaping creates park-like grounds featuring a productive orchard and garden. The property has community access to the Elk River for boating, fishing, and various water recreation activities.
