Description
A Rare Legacy Property with Water, Wildlife, and Mountain Views — Held in the Same Family Since 1954
Opportunities like this are becoming increasingly rare. This remarkable property has not changed hands since 1954, offering a once-in-a-generation chance to own a large acreage just on the outskirts of the city limits—where privacy, natural beauty, and convenience come together seamlessly.
The land is easily accessed via two state-maintained paved roads, with multiple internal roads cutting through the property, making travel across the acreage simple and efficient. Whether you’re exploring, managing land, or planning future development, accessibility is a standout feature. Throughout the property, you’ll find ample build sites with mountain views, providing endless possibilities for estate homes, cabins, or a multi-home layout.
At the heart of the land lies a stunning two-acre pond, complete with the capability of being drained for cleanup and maintenance. Over the years, countless successful fishing stories have been created along its banks, making it a cherished centerpiece of the property and a gathering place for family and friends.
Adding to the property’s natural allure is over 1,000 feet of Sir Johns Run, which flows through the land year-round, offering the soothing sound of moving water and enhancing the recreational and aesthetic value of the property.
The land was select cut, and the resulting early successional growth has created prime wildlife habitat. As a result, extensive wildlife live on and travel through the property, making it ideal for nature lovers, hunters, and outdoor enthusiasts alike.
A significant advantage of this property is its direct access to public water, supported by a letter confirming six available connection taps, offering exceptional potential for future homes or development.
Despite its peaceful setting, the property is strategically located within easy reach of major destinations:
6 miles to Hancock, Maryland
37 miles to Winchester, Virginia
105 miles to Washington, D.C.
Whether you envision a private estate, recreational retreat, family compound, or long-term investment, this extraordinary property delivers on every level—history, water features, wildlife, accessibility, and location. Don’t miss the opportunity to own a truly special piece of land that blends legacy, beauty, and potential in one unforgettable offering.
