Available for the first time in more than 70 years, this extraordinary riverfront estate presents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to own approximately 138 acres along one of the most scenic stretches of the Potomac River.
Set in the heart of historic Washington County, Maryland, the property features more than 2,000 feet of frontage along both the Potomac River and the iconic C&O Canal Towpath, creating a rare combination of waterfront living, agricultural heritage, recreational access, and long-term investment potential.
The established homesite includes a well-maintained brick ranch residence, detached garage, and multiple outbuildings. A centerpiece of the property is the historic circa-1820 bank barn, a remarkable architectural landmark that reflects the rich farming history of the Potomac Valley.
Open fields, mature woodlands, and gently rolling terrain lead to breathtaking riverfront scenery. Direct access to the C&O Canal Towpath places miles of hiking, biking, horseback riding, fishing, and birdwatching right outside your door, while extensive Potomac River frontage offers year-round opportunities to enjoy the region's natural beauty.
Whether envisioned as a working farm, private family compound, recreational retreat, agritourism destination, wellness retreat, or legacy investment, the scale and setting of this property offer endless possibilities. Protected scenic easements along portions of the riverfront help preserve the property's extraordinary views, ecological value, and natural character for generations to come.
Just minutes from downtown Sharpsburg, Antietam National Battlefield, Shepherdstown, and within easy reach of Washington, D.C., Northern Virginia, and Baltimore, this is a rare opportunity to own a significant piece of the Mid-Atlantic's natural and historic landscape.
