927 BUCKHORN Rd

Creating a rare live/work/play opportunity in Carroll County, 927 Buckhorn Road offers an extraordinary approximately 3,000 sq. ft. heated and cooled detached studio/workshop as the defining feature of this one-of-a-kind property. Ideal for artists, collectors, makers, woodworkers, car enthusiasts, hobbyists, remote professionals, or anyone seeking serious creative, workspace, or lifestyle flexibility at home, this exceptional structure includes soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, a 12' x 9' high bay door, an attached two-car garage, air compressor and airline connections throughout multiple workshop areas, a powder room, a private upper-level office/gallery with its own high-speed Wi-Fi connection, and lower-level walkout access to the greenhouse.

Set on nearly four private acres, the property also includes an architecturally distinctive residence thoughtfully designed by artist/designer owners Julie and Ken Girardini. This private woodland retreat brings together architecture, nature, and creativity in a truly memorable setting, with a gentle stream winding through mature forest, curated gardens, a greenhouse for year-round growing, and a peaceful approach along a wisteria-covered walkway leading to a koi pond, fountain, and Japanese rock garden.

Inside the main residence, a bright open floor plan is framed by dramatic corner windows, Andersen awning windows with fixed upper panels, and Andersen sliders that fill the home with natural light and capture views of the surrounding landscape. Oak hardwood flooring and calm interior tones flow throughout the home, creating a warm and refined atmosphere.

A striking floating staircase with solid cherry treads, steel monorail design, and copper handrail serves as a sculptural centerpiece. Artistic details continue in the living room, where a one-of-a-kind gas fireplace clad in steel and custom concrete relief artwork add character and depth. A wall of windows and dual sliders open to the deck, while a curved steel door to the powder room adds another unique architectural touch.

The gourmet kitchen is designed for both everyday living and entertaining, featuring a gas cooktop, stainless steel appliances, sleek custom European cabinetry, and a dedicated scullery for additional prep and storage. The dining area connects easily with the open-concept living space, enhancing the home’s flow and function.

The upper level offers a spacious primary suite with a spa-like bath and custom handmade cherry cabinetry, along with three additional bedrooms and a full bath. A full basement provides ample storage and future finishing potential. Geothermal heating and air conditioning offer efficient year-round comfort.

Outdoor living is equally inviting, with an expansive deck overlooking the woods, a hot tub for relaxation, and a welcoming front terrace with a gas fire pit for gathering and enjoying the natural surroundings.

This home exceeds expectations in quality and attention to detail, with many creative features the artist/designer owners handcrafted in their studio. Every aspect of the property feels carefully curated, with a keen eye for visual harmony from every angle.

This one-of-a-kind property offers far more than a traditional luxury home. It is a full lifestyle opportunity — private, peaceful, highly functional, and unusually versatile — all within convenient reach of everyday amenities.
