Property Description
This expansive 448-acre farm in Williamsport, Maryland, offers a rare blend of rich history, modern amenities, and meticulously maintained agricultural land. With over 300 acres of tillable land and the remainder as fenced pasture, the property is well-suited for large-scale farming or equestrian activities. The farm features two wells, providing water to both sides of the property, and offers easy access to its various farm buildings, making it practical for diverse agricultural operations.
The primary residence is a two-story, 3,640 sq. ft. brick and vinyl home that combines historic charm with modern comforts. Built in 1900 and expanded in 2006, the home includes four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a spacious kitchen, a dining room, a large living room, an office, and a laundry room. It also features updated heating and cooling systems with oil heat, a heat pump, and a wood stove. An unfinished basement adds potential for further expansion. A second dwelling, a 1980 mobile home with two bedrooms and one bath, has its own well and septic system, offering flexibility for additional living space or rental potential.
The property?s infrastructure is well-equipped for farming, with multiple barns and outbuildings, including a 48' x 80' bank barn featuring an 80' x 48' covered feeding area and a 58' x 50' loafing area. Another 80' x 40' bank barn includes a 40' x 40' covered feeding area, a 40' x 60' shop, and a recently built 100' x 50' x 16' storage barn. Additional outbuildings include a 50' x 30' hay shed and a 36' x 28' wagon shed, along with three silos equipped with unloaders. The concrete barnyard and manure holding area make operations efficient and streamlined, while grain storage is ample with three grain bins and a batch dryer. Water needs for livestock are easily met with three automatic waterers.
The farm?s rich history includes its past as a skydiving hub in the 1970s and 1980s, adding a unique character to its story. Today, the property is part of the Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation program, ensuring that it remains dedicated to agricultural use. While the land must stay agricultural, the flexibility allows for various farming activities, including equestrian use, with no restrictions on the number of horses or agricultural buildings. The scenic landscape includes a north-south stream and abundant wildlife like deer and turkey, offering a picturesque setting for rural living or business ventures. Owning this versatile and historically rich property in Williamsport, Maryland, is a unique opportunity to combine the charm of country life with the capacity for large-scale agricultural endeavors.
Additionally, the farm could serve as a unique event or wedding venue, pending the state?s requirements for such a conversion. Whether you?re looking for a peaceful retreat, an operational farm, or a potential venue space, this property offers endless possibilities while honoring its agricultural heritage.
