Overview
Welcome to one of Carroll County’s Hidden Gems – 25 Acres of Peaceful Country Living
This stunning 25-acre property is a rare find—nestled among mature woodlands and farmland, offering absolute privacy with no neighboring homes in sight. Beautiful old-growth trees border the land, creating a serene and scenic backdrop year-round.
The property includes several outbuildings, such as:
A large hay barn
A metal building with two oversized garage doors
A lean-to for equipment storage
A remarkable all-stone building dating back to the mid-to-late 1800s
The original root cellar, still intact and full of charm
A tranquil stream meanders through the land, enhancing the peaceful atmosphere and adding to the natural beauty of the surroundings.
The home itself blends historic farmhouse character with modern comfort. It features a dual heating system: an oil-fired radiator setup integrated with an exterior wood-burning furnace—providing abundant, cost-effective heating with the ample free wood available on-site.
Recent updates include a beautifully renovated master suite and a variety of upgrades throughout the home, offering the best of both timeless appeal and contemporary convenience.
This is truly one of the most unique and secluded properties in Carroll County—ideal for those seeking space, privacy, and a connection to nature.
