4800 CHURCHEY RD Sharpsburg, MD 21782

Motivated seller. This property is a double-header: First, it has beautiful, active farmland with approximately 130 tillable acres, plus pastures, valuable cedar grove, creek, pond, and many outbuildings. Secondly, there is a seriously historic house dating back to the early/mid 1800's. Updates over the years did not, by and large, damage the original features. This is an Historian's dream, and a delight for those who love a truly original period house. NUMEROUS historians and park/state officials have been through, and this house is completely restorable to it's original historic glory, because so little has changed. Updates over the years did not, by and large, damage or remove the original features. It has a long Antietem-era history, it was once known as the Jacob Miller Farm, also used as a civil war hospital for both sides; you can find info in local history books on the property. From the upper fields, you can see the Antietem battlefield area - very close by! Main level is occupied by a family member, lower level has a cellar, HVAC area, butchering room with huge fireplace, storage area. One of the basement rooms was actually an old log-cabin , the original home, with stone floors, walls, and stone steps that now lead up to the kitchen. Fascinating details throughout. Upper 2 levels have 4 *HUGE* bedrooms, all with original fireplaces and mantels, main level has 2 BR, also large with fireplaces also. Back to the farm: There is currently a farming tenant, lives off site, who can stay or go as buyer wishes. This property has grown corn, wheat, oats, sorghum, and many other crops; land is suitable for just about anything. Pasture/meadows are great for polinization endeavors. Land here is far cheaper than Frederick or Montgomery county. FULL extensive soil reports available. Pastures are beautiful, gently rolling land with outstanding views! About 30 head of cattle are currently on the property, they belong to the tenant and do NOT convey. Outbuildings offer a wide variety of options. Property is Agriculture Protected. Must remain Ag and cannot be subdivided. Stream is fenced to keep cattle out, and owner is paid $780 every October for maintaining this fencing. Hunting is plentiful, and the property includes about 17-20 acres of wooded land on the side of the mountain. Anything is possible here. EXCELLENT per-acre pricing! Buyers can have a comprehensive riding tour of the property with the seller. Seller requires Signature Settlement for closing, as they have already done work and gathered info on this property and will be a great source for any questions the buyer may have.
