ESSENCE
Live authentically. Sapphira Farm - Phoenix. Take the road less traveled. A nestled 14 acre perch surrounded by woodland, teaming with wildlife. Distinctive blue standing-seam roofs catch the light. Cheerful pop yellow doors greet you, inviting you in. The doors electrify against the Icelandic aesthetic black barns. Two amazing Amish-built barns punctuate the landscape. Stained in a traditional linseed oil and pine tar finish offering a plethora of possibilities: the ultimate collector space, art studio, horse stalls, a climate-controlled office/lounge awaiting your vision. Propane, well, and septic systems are separately run to support the upper barn's independent use. The grounds invite exploration... a fenced dog pasture bordered by woods, a nine-hole disc golf course with regulation baskets. Embrace the farm to table lifestyle. The sellers are beekeepers with vibrant herb and veg raised beds. Whole house lovingly renovated. Vaulted ceilings crown the sun-washed living spaces, where a dual-sided fireplace connects the sitting room and sunroom. Walls of windows frame your compound and scenic vistas in the distance. A second wood-burning fireplace anchors the gathering space. Newly planted hillside of 150 native Maryland trees (redbud, loblolly pine, black locust, bald cypress) planted in partnership with the MD Forestry Service, ensuring the landscape only grows richer with time. A rare offering. Feel worlds away while being proximate to conveniences. Generator transfer switch. Upper barn 50'x70', 11' high doors, L barn 40'x28' and 54'x28', 12' high doors. Xfinity internet. See sellers amenity list for details. Cultivate your existence. The art of uniting human and home.
