Property Description

A rare opportunity to own nearly 189 acres of historic farmland in the mountains of Western Maryland. Located in Ellerslie, Allegany County, this beautiful property offers approximately 20 acres of cleared pasture and agricultural land, with the remaining 168 acres consisting primarily of mature timberland. The property features a historic four-bedroom, two-bath farmhouse with approximately 1,976 square feet of living space, original hardwood floors, a Vermont Castings wood-burning stove, and a combination of historic character and modern improvements. Recent upgrades include new metal roofs on both the farmhouse and barn, new electrical panels in the house and barn, a whole-house reverse osmosis and UV water filtration system, and newly flued chimneys. The farm is equipped with a large barn, insulated two-car garage, livestock facilities, chicken coop, and a 32' x 72' high tunnel greenhouse with additional water storage. Agricultural improvements include a new well and water infrastructure, a new Timeless Fence system for livestock management, and improvements to the barn and surrounding property. Approximately 168 acres of mature woodland provide opportunities for hunting, recreation, timber management, and enjoying the privacy of the Appalachian Mountains. The property also features natural waterways, including a creek, and is eligible for Maryland's agricultural crop damage permit program, subject to applicable state requirements. With property deeds dating back to the 1850s, this farm has a long agricultural history and plenty of room for its next owners to make it their own. It would be a wonderful place for anyone dreaming of starting a family farm, making improvements over time, and building a homestead of their own. Much of the essential agricultural infrastructure is already in place, while the farmhouse and surrounding land offer opportunities for personal touches and future projects. Farm equipment, including a skid steer and tractor, may be available for purchase separately and is not included in the listing price.
