Accepting backup offers. This lovely farm with cottage-style home on 5.2 acres is located in the heart of the rural tier. The sun porch on the rear overlooks the pastures, fruit trees, berry patches, and gardens. The home has an open floor plan complete with an eat-in kitchen and cathedral ceiling in the family room and dining room. A glass door leads to the perfect home office with lots of windows and a separate door to the outside. The hall bath serves two bedrooms while the good size master bedroom has a private bath and ample closet space. New adorable metal roofs on the house and barn. As any horse lover knows, the extra value is in the 3 outbuildings and fully fenced pastures complete with an access lane. The three-car garage has an IN-LAW SUITE over top with a beautiful full bathroom, a wet bar, and space to add a stove and fridge. A deck wraps around an above-ground pool and jacuzzi off the back of the garage. The barn has previously been used for alpaca but can easily be converted to a 5 stall horse barn. There is also a run-in big enough for 3 more enclosed stalls. The tractor barn/work shed is approx 25x40' and has a tractor bay and a wonderful workshop area. Raise your own free-range chickens and tuck them in their coop at night. All outbuildings have electricity. FENCES galore! The 5.2 acres are fully cleared with 8 separate pastures for excellent horse grazing rotation. This farm is a five-minute drive to the 6000 acre Patuxent River Park with miles and miles of excellent horse riding trails. Just a ten-minute drive is the 900-acre Rosayrville Park also filled with riding trails. The Equestrian Center is just up the road in Upper Marlboro. As you can tell, this is horse country and yet just 20-40 minutes drive or metro commute to DC, Baltimore, Annapolis, Andrew's Airforce Base, Fort Meade, and Goddard Space Flight Center. Take a look at the taxes- $3401/year as this is classified as agriculture. Those of us who live here in Croom (as us locals call it) consider this to be a heavenly secret. Come and take a look and I'll introduce you to this wonderful area.
