Welcome to 8805 Reichard Road, a rare and exceptional 77-acre historic estate nestled in the heart of Washington County, Maryland. This expansive and picturesque property offers a unique blend of rural charm, functional agricultural infrastructure, and extraordinary potential for personal, commercial, or equestrian use.
Originally constructed circa 1867, the stately farmhouse spans over 3,000 square feet and showcases a stone exterior and timeless craftsmanship inside with original hardwood floors, six wood-burning fireplaces, one gas fireplace, and charming details throughout. The traditional layout includes three bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and one half-bath, along with a formal living room, music room, and dining room. The main level floor plan also offers a central kitchen, fully upgraded with cabinetry, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and a gas fireplace. The spacious kitchen is sided by a large family room with a secondary side entrance, and a sun-filled breakfast room with access to an expansive rear dining deck, both ideal spaces for gatherings large and small.
The land is the true crown jewel of this offering—nearly 77 acres of gently rolling pastures, tree-lined boundaries, and panoramic countryside views. A large barn building anchors the agricultural infrastructure, complete with three dedicated horse stalls inside, and ample space for hay storage, equipment, or conversion into a training or event facility. Two additional outbuildings provide versatile use for workshops, livestock, storage, or future guest accommodations.
Whether you envision this estate as a working farm, an equestrian training center, a private vineyard, or a family retreat, the possibilities are endless. The property is ideally suited for equestrian pursuits with abundant pasture and existing infrastructure; it also supports organic farming, livestock grazing, hay production, or horticulture. With plenty of space and a charming backdrop, the property could be transformed into a wedding or event venue, Agri-tourism destination, or glamping site. There's also potential for residential expansion, subject to zoning and perc approvals, making it ideal for a multi-generational compound or future development. Alternatively, it offers the perfect canvas for a peaceful private sanctuary with land for gardens, trails, and self-sufficient living.
Additional features include a 2-car detached garage, a paved driveway with side parking for up to 7 vehicles, and a private well and septic system.
Conveniently located near Devil’s Backbone Park, Antietam Creek, and within minutes of Hagerstown and Shepherdstown, this estate offers both privacy and accessibility. Whether you're dreaming of country living, launching an agricultural venture, or developing a legacy estate, 8805 Reichard Road presents an unmatched opportunity.
