19416 GUNPOWDER ROAD, MANCHESTER, MD 21102

This farm offers a piece of Heaven on 26.32 acres of majestic beauty in Northern Baltimore County. In addition to being enthralled with the A-lister views of rolling pastures and mature woods, you will feel like you won the lottery from the "often sought after but rarely found" level of privacy and protection from development afforded with this one. As the last driveway, only reachable by an off-the-beaten-path roadway (granted by your covenant easement), your property is additionally, in part, buffered (and even greater enhanced) by the Prettyboy Watershed. It also, out the gate, will provide you with some enviable choices. You can move into the main house immediately, as-is, or, do updates and/or renovations to the main house, or entirely remake it into the family compound getaway of your dreams. It would even be possible, with a few updates to operate out of a cozy “tiny home” like building on the property to oversee the process of any pre-move-in improvements. The existing main A-frame house is reminiscent of a modern, clean-lined Colorado Ski chalet. It offers generous sized living areas, along with four bedrooms and three full baths. There are decks and balconies on both the first and second floors. The house itself is set on a hilltop, perfectly positioned, like the pearl in an oyster, near the center of the property. The value proposition for your family and your guests is the ever-present opportunity to immerse, refresh, and restore yourselves from the natural beauty inherent with this land. In fact, reveling in the ever-morphing landscape through the seasons will surely become one of your favorite pastimes! The 2993 sq. ft. house has a huge1995 sq. ft. walk-in basement - Total square footage is 4,988 sq. ft And yes, whether or not you already have them, if you aspire to have horses, this property, and the eight stall oak horse barn (pending repairs) allows for that. During the 1980s and 1990s, this farm was registered and operated as “Holly Ridge Appaloosas”. In its heyday, it was home to 26 Appaloosas, including a nationally recognized champion. In addition to the two-car detached garage and eight stall horse barn, there are two “tiny house” type buildings on the farm, two axillary barns and three large storage sheds. The location is perfect for commuters to Hunt Valley, Baltimore and PA to the north. This home is within one mile of the Prettyboy Reservoir which offers many miles of hiking and riding trails, fishing, and more. The present owner has been comfortable commuting to long time position in Washington D.C., since he acquired the property in 2004. Please book your appointment now.
