Enchanted private enclave in one of the most sought after areas of Howard County. 63+ secluded and preserved acres for the discerning owners. Located off scenic Dorsey Mill Road, tucked away down the tree-lined driveway, a mile off of the road, this rare property offers true refuge from today's harried world. Overlooking the Dorsey Branch of the Cattail River is a custom Colonial with 7,000+ above-grade square footage. The substantial size and 3 levels of this quality-built home accommodates the owner that seeks space for the large family, multi-generational living, nanny suite, and entertaining, with ample options for home offices and studies for remote learning. Many opportunities for private spaces within the home as well as generously-sized common areas. Mostly mature woods, but with 20 +/- acres of pastures and very productive hay fields, this special property is mostly surrounded by other adjacent Agricultural Preservation properties/parcels, and is protected from most any additional residential development - yet it is also conveniently located to Cattail Creek Country Club, not far from hole #5 and the community feel of the Glenwood area. The second home, a traditional frame farmhouse, is also graced by mature trees, allowing each home plenty of privacy. With 4 BD and 2.5 BA, this home can be part of a family compound or provide for a substantial rental income opportunity. Newer roof and water heater. Replacement windows. Heat pump for heat and A/C. Current tenants have interest in staying on or require 90-day notice to vacate. Bank barn has had considerable restoration work and has recently been used for horses. It offers 4+ stalls, hot water, electric, tack room and large grooming area. Several run-in sheds provide shelter in the separate paddock areas. Additional outbuildings remind one of the history of this special property. Much of the property is board fenced. Several pastures are currently hay producing and tenant farmer has interest in continuing that farming if new owner is interested. As long as the buyers continue using the property with approved agricultural activity, Agricultural Transfer Tax will not apply. Trails for walking and riding traverse the wooded acreage. This property calls for the person seeking indoor and outdoor pleasures at home. Flower, fruit and vegetable gardens are welcome to be added to those already in place. Located minutes from Routes 97 and 32, I70, Cattail Creek Country Club, restaurants and shopping. Commutes to DC, Baltimore, Columbia, and Frederick are simple all while having the feel of being miles away from it all. And, of course, is situated within the top rated Howard County School system. This is not a drive-by property and is best appreciated by enjoying a private tour.
