Quintessential 1995 custom-built Timber Frame Dutch Farmhouse country estate, on nearly 4.5 acres offer a rare blend of refined living and endless possibilities. This is a versatile property with many possible uses, centered around a main residence that is a true masterpiece of craftsmanship.
Step inside to discover a breathtaking interior defined by classic timber-frame architecture. Massive exposed posts, horizontal beams, and structural knee braces bring unparalleled warmth and rustic elegance to every room.
The kitchen is beautifully integrated into the home featuring abundant wood cabinetry, a central butcher-block island, two ovens, a prep sink, and a light-filled breakfast bay that provides a peaceful spot for morning coffee surrounded by nature. Flowing seamlessly from the kitchen, the great room serves as the breathtaking core of the home. This massive, open-concept living and dining area is crowned by soaring vaulted ceilings and the home's signature authentic timber framing. Rich, reclaimed wide-plank chestnut floors anchor the expansive space, leading the eye to a magnificent floor-to-ceiling brick fireplace that commands the living room. Along the dining area, a sweeping wall of custom wood built-ins offers incredible storage and display space. To complete the picture, a wall of bright, white-trimmed windows floods the room with natural light and provides uninterrupted views of the lush, equestrian grounds.
The home features an expansive and highly functional layout, offering three bedrooms and two-and-a-half bathrooms on the main level—including a stunning primary suite that overlooks the tranquil pasture and backyard. Upstairs, you will find a private retreat with two additional spacious bedrooms and another full bathroom. This thoughtful floor plan is complemented by an oversized, unfinished basement that serves as a massive blank canvas for a future gym, media room, or personal workshop.
The property’s exterior infrastructure is equally impressive and meticulously designed for the modern hobbyist or equestrian. A detached carriage-style garage features a private, full apartment on the upper level—an ideal solution for a guest suite, rental income, or a secluded home office. This building also includes a separately enclosed workshop on the ground level, complete with its own bathroom and a dedicated washer and dryer. For those with a creative or entrepreneurial spirit, the large detached outbuilding with concrete floors and a loft is a standout feature; it is perfectly suited to function as a professional workshop for a business, a vibrant artist gallery, or a secure space for tractors and heavy equipment.
Equestrians will appreciate the functional barn, which features a run-in area, two stalls, and ample storage for tack and hay. The property boasts three separately fenced pastures, including a nearly level front pasture perfectly suited for schooling horses. Beyond your own gates, Woodland Horse Center and Periwinkle Farm are both just a short hack away, while the local Pony Club practice in Sandy Spring is a quick 10-minute drive
This location offers the best of both worlds, providing seamless access to major commuter routes just 16 miles from DC in Montgomery County, plus the diverse shopping and dining of Olney or Burtonsville, all while ensuring you have expansive privacy and space.
