Property Description

Nestled on 28 private wooded acres, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom split-level home offers a rare chance to create your ultimate country homestead. While the home itself is in need of some TLC and cosmetic updates, it’s packed with solid bones, authentic character, and a layout full of promise. Inside, you'll find plank flooring running through the living/dining room, a functional kitchen space with views of the expansive backyard, and a large gathering room anchored with exquisite wood built-in shelving and a white-washed brick centerfold that once housed a wood stove. Upstairs you'll find the bedrooms and bathrooms, all with decent closet storage and scenic views. A convenient rear walkout basement features a wood burning fireplace and leads to the yard, and an extra storage room provides great utility. Step out onto the covered deck to take in the peaceful views of your private acreage—a true haven for nature lovers, hunters, or anyone wanting to start a garden or small hobby farm. The real standout is the incredible infrastructure outside, featuring multiple outbuildings: a tool and lawn equipment shed, a large oversized drive-in shed, a dedicated workshop, and a large open-air wooden carport ready to shelter boats, trailers, or farm vehicles. Plenty of room for parking and projects. Located just 10-12 minutes from La Plata and Indian Head, with an easy commute down Route 210 toward Alexandria and D.C. Sold as-is—bring your vision and make this rustic retreat your own! No Town Taxes, No HOA, No School Excise Taxes!
