There is a particular kind of freedom that comes with land. Not just the acreage, but what it represents: space to breathe, room to build something lasting, and the privacy to live entirely on your own terms. This is that place.
Set on 14.18 acres across two parcels in the quietly established agricultural corridor of Brandywine, Maryland, this four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath residence offers over 2,900 square feet of thoughtfully renovated interior space alongside working agricultural infrastructure ready from day one. An assumable VA mortgage at 4.99% with an $808K remaining balance through United Wholesale Mortgage makes the opportunity even more compelling.
Freshly clad in James Hardie board and batten cement fiber siding with new gutters, downspouts, and exterior lighting, the home opens through a solid double entry door onto brushed marble floors, with wide plank maple hardwood running through the main living areas and three of the four bedrooms. New solid shaker doors, premium trim, and recessed smart lighting define a renovation executed with precision.
The kitchen is built for the kind of cooking and hosting that happens when people genuinely love where they live: custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a fired clay farmhouse sink with Kohler touchless faucet, live edge shelving, tile backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, and a dedicated beverage station with wine fridge. The primary suite matches this standard, with hexagonal marble tile floors, a new double vanity, and a curb-less shower with Kohler multi-spray system.
The infrastructure is equally considered. Dual HVAC systems and dual water heaters serve the original home and addition independently. Two laundry setups, a whole-home water softener installed in 2026, Ecobee smart thermostats, an interior fire sprinkler system inspected in 2023, and a septic pumped and cleaned in March 2024 complete a home maintained with serious intention.
Outside, the residence opens onto something genuinely uncommon. A 40x30-foot barn with three permanent bays, installed gates configurable into nine sections, overhead lighting, tack room, and office is built for daily use with cattle, sheep, goats, or horses. Nine paddocks, pens, and fields are supported by watering points throughout and an electric perimeter fence across both parcels. A 30x40-foot heated workshop with compressed air lines and a half bath, a three-bay hay and tractor shed, two powered 40-foot containers, a 30-bird chicken coop, hog housing with automated watering, and four field run-in sheds complete an infrastructure that rivals working farms many times this size. A gazebo with hot tub and a natural stream winding through partially wooded acreage round out an outdoor environment without compromise.
Patuxent River Park, Merkle Wildlife Sanctuary, and Mt. Calvert Historical and Archaeological Park are all within easy reach, offering trails, river access, and boat launches.
Pastures on both parcels have been improved and contain horse friendly forage:
Bird's foot trefoil
Clover
Chicory
Kentucky bluegrass
Kentucky 32 Novel fescue endophyte free
Orchard grass
Plantain
