Is acreage, privacy, unlimited building potential or family compound/family development land on your checklist? This property may be it! Located in Allegany County near Oldtown, Maryland just 2.5 miles from the South Branch of the Potomac River and the storied C&O Canal, you’ll find this rolling, improved, wooded 218 acres. Turning off of Lower Town Creek Road, you’ll pass through the security gate and enter Borrowed Time Lane. This private, well maintained gravel road (with erosion control berms) will eventually lead you about one mile through gradual hills, valleys, gentle turns, and beautiful views back to the main dwelling. The first stop along the way is the previous in-law dwelling which is an 1,146 square foot manufactured home on its own well and septic with NEW METAL & SHINGLE ROOF. Here you’ll find a primary bedroom, en-suite bath, guest bedroom, another full bathroom, inviting living room area, combination kitchen/dining area, screened rear deck area, bonus room and laundry closet. Once updated, this dwelling could continue to be used as an in-law residence, au-pair residence, guest residence or combination/consolidation family residence. Continuing on, your next stop will be the 1,400 square foot poultry/animal pen offering beautiful valley views and plenty of room for expansion. The next stop along the way features a 24x16 equine/animal barn as well as a 1.5 acre fenced corral. If horses or animals are on your checklist, this is set up and ready to go. How does one maintain all of this beautiful land? With the 1,176 square foot pull-through pole barn/maintenance building offering plenty of room for your maintenance equipment, four-wheelers, loaders, etc. Last but certainly not least is the 1,980 square foot main residence. This was intended to be the owner’s temporary residence as he built his dream home but as sometimes happens, circumstances change and that was never started. This can now be your opportunity to pick up where he left off and select the location, size and attributes of your dream home on this beautiful property. Whether you build an additional home or are happy living here, you’ll find that this dwelling offers an open kitchen/dining/flex space area, wood stove, sunken living room area, office area, laundry/utility room, 2 full bathrooms, 4 bedrooms, well and septic as well as a NEW METAL ROOF. Note that room counts and square footage are for both dwellings. Currently in Agriculture/Forestry Conservation Program. Can be subdivided into 10 (1) acre parcels if taken out or 6 acres if left in.
