Build Your Dream Retreat in Scenic Forest Hill, Maryland. More photos to come! Discover the perfect blend of privacy, natural beauty, and convenience on this exceptional 9.65-acre wooded lot in sought-after Forest Hill. Tucked away from the road and surrounded by mature hardwoods, this property offers the opportunity to build a custom home nestled over 1,000 feet from MD Route 543—providing both seclusion and sweeping pastoral views. The land features gently rolling terrain, a natural spring, abundant wildlife, and maintained trails for hiking or peaceful strolls through your own private woodland. Bordering a preserved 129-acre farm and backing up to a tranquil wetland with views of a small creek, the setting offers unmatched serenity and a connection to nature. The lot has one development right and is accessed via a common driveway easement. A successful percolation test was completed and recertified in May 2024, streamlining the building process for your future home. Located just 5–10 minutes from downtown Bel Air, Forest Hill offers the best of both worlds: rural charm and modern convenience. The nearby Ma & Pa Trail, local farms, and Harford County parks offer endless outdoor activities, while easy access to I-95 makes commuting to Baltimore or Philadelphia a breeze. Don't miss this rare opportunity to create your own private sanctuary in one of Harford County’s most desirable locations. Buyers should confirm all plans and usage with Harford County Government.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
