Farms in Montgomery County MD

Are you tired of living in condos or hearing your neighbor’s lawn mower at 7 am on Sunday morning?  Do you want to hear birds singing rather than the horn alarm on the car parked in front of your home on Saturday night?

Many people don’t realize that you can own a horse farm in Montgomery County.  For instance, there is a horse farm for sale right now on Bethesda Church Road in Damascus for $2,000,000 with almost 59 acres. The clients and workers of the boarding business all would like to stay if given the opportunity. The facility consists of 50 stalls on 58.77 acres. The “lower barn” is a 32 stall center aisle barn with an adjoining building that has a heated tack room with lockers, a bathroom for clients and a wash stall. Above this barn is a 4 bedroom apartment and a one bedroom apartment both of which arecurrently occupied by farm employees.

The “upper barn” is a center aisle barn with 18 stalls, a heated tack room and wash stall. There is a 160 x 80 indoor ring with lights and a watering system. There are 2 outdoor rings! The larger of the two outdoor rings is 225 x 120. The smaller outdoor is 80 x 60. The lights on the farm have been replaced with high efficiency LEDs. There is direct access to trails from the farm!

In addition to the two apartments there are 2 detached homes on the property. One home is a traditional farmhouse style with a large welcoming front porch, eat-in kitchen, living room, dining room, 2 bedrooms on the main level and 3 bedrooms upstairs. The second home is a brick cape cod. This home has a living room, dining room, country kitchen, 2 bedrooms on the main level and 2 bedrooms upstairs. The huge loft above the “lower barn” would be an amazing venue and the multiple homes/apartments could be used as B&Bs. The farm is centrally located for many equestrian disciplines with access to Rtes 270 and 70. The total acreage is a combination of 3 parcels totaling 58.77 acres. In the documents section is an aerial picture that shows the outline of each pasture, the fence line and all the buildings.

The property is located in an agricultural reserve, meaning it is designated for agricultural and residential usage, allowing for a unique blend of country living and modern amenities. It offers amazing road frontage, making it easily accessible from Rockville, and the rectangular lot shape provides maximum flexibility for design and use.

One of the highlights of the property is the beautiful creek running through it, which not only adds to the scenic beauty but also provides a source of water for irrigation and other purposes. The fire pits and picnic benches make it an ideal spot for outdoor entertainment and gatherings, while the solar lights set up ensures that the property can be enjoyed even after sunset.

Three acres of the property are fenced, which makes it perfect for keeping animals or other projects. There are also walking trails that allow you to explore the property’s natural beauty and enjoy the wildlife. The majority of the land is wooded, providing a serene and private atmosphere, but three acres have been cleaned up and are ready for development or planting. All due diligence for electricity, water, and permits must be done by the buyer. The land has a clean title and a single owner, ensuring a smooth transaction process. Owning land is a permanent real asset, and this is a rare opportunity to grab a prime piece of real estate at a very low cost.
