Oh my! Double Take Farm is waiting to call home for you and your equestrian friends! You will absolutely love this charming cape cod set on the most beautiful 6.63 acres with a 3-stall stable and 200' x 90' lighted riding ring. This is truly a rare offering in the heart of Olney and Southern Montgomery County and is one of the last remaining large parcels in this coveted, upscale community. It's a hidden gem tucked away in a landscape of protected forest, open pasture, and big-sky views, yet remarkably close to everything. Here, mornings begin with sunrises over gently rolling fields, and evenings end with horses grazing against glowing sunsets. Adjacent to a 1,150-foot forest conservation easement with direct access to public trails, the property offers enduring privacy, natural beauty, and a setting that will remain protected for generations. Enjoy the agricultural tax exemption and the possibility of leasing the 3 stalls for $1,500/month!

Equestrian amenities include an Amish-built 3-stall barn with tack room, hot and cold water, and electric service; an FEI regulation-size outdoor riding ring with night lighting; and an additional storage barn. The gently sloping, well-drained pastureland, along with 2.8 acres of additional open space, offers exceptional flexibility, to expand the existing home, create outdoor living spaces, add a pool, or build a luxury residence that fully embraces the sweeping views and protected surroundings. Located on a designated Rural Rustic Road, the property offers a peaceful country feel while being just minutes from Olney’s extensive amenities; top public and private schools, athletic facilities, Starbucks, Roots Market, restaurants, breweries, multiple grocery stores, and Montgomery General Hospital. With immediate access to Georgia Avenue and the ICC, the property is less than 34 miles to Downtown Washington, approximately 7 miles to the nearest Metro station, and under 40 minutes to three major airports.
