Why do so many houses built in the country look like they belong in the suburbs? This contemporary interpretation of an old-time farmstead with silo is like nothing else on the market. A work of art designed by award-winning architect Barbara Mullenex, AIA, to bless one particular hilltop in Washington County, Md., "The Oaks" is a hushed retreat for anyone who will never tire of catching glimpses of wildlife from 56 mountain-view windows and listening to rain on the metal roof at night. One decompressing hour's drive from downtown DC, its 40 acres of field and forest and 60-mile view are forever protected against further development by Maryland's "rural legacy" program. Maintenance of all major trees, including more than 50 dogwoods, is chronicled with a data base. A once-productive peach orchard site promises a natural microclimate for grapes. You'll be close to the trains of MARC, the restaurants of Shepherdstown, and the walking paths of Antietam National Battlefield--plus a profusion of Civil War sites. But why go anywhere when the sunset changes every evening from two patios and a balcony? When Eastern Bluebirds swoop low over the stocked pond for dinner on the wing? When the wine cellar cradles climate-controlled vintages? When a neighboring farmer handles outside chores in return for grazing rights. Don't let the deliberately weather-beaten look fool you. Built new to Mennonite standards in 1998-99, all kitchen, bath, laundry and HVAC appliances are modern. Three bedrooms, three baths, private office, 2600 square feet. Two-car garage. From rooftop solar to radon remediation to senior-friendly fixtures to sound system to outdoor shower stall, you'll find almost everything. No bidet. Sorry.

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listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.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.
