About this home
Calling all horse lovers, tennis & pickleball fanatics and those who love to entertain! Discover a unique hidden gem with a combination of country charm and modern functionality on 3 acres tucked into a secluded wooded setting. At the end of a private driveway, you are greeted by a newly refinished massive front porch where you can sit and enjoy a morning cup of coffee or an evening cocktail and watch the horses play across the field. Step inside to the newly refinished hardwood floors and you will discover a home that is equally adept at hosting a party or accommodating a favorite hobby. There are rooms for gathering, gaming, reading, recitals, cooking and canning - through every door you will find a new space for easy living. There is a family room off the kitchen that opens to a large deck, perfect for outdoor dining. The dining area at the other end of the kitchen overlooks the huge, light-filled, two-plus story great room with massive windows looking out onto the surrounding wooded beauty that envelopes the backyard. This room serves as the focal point of the house and is the perfect place to watch a game or a movie, or challenge a family member or friend to a game of foosball, ping pong or pool. Off the great room is a den with a fireplace and full bath with a walk-in shower. This room could easily be converted to an au pair or in-law suite if needed. French doors from the dining area to the main living room reveal the perfect music room. There is a primary bedroom and bath on the main level. You will also find access to the other part of the lower level which features a full kitchen and family room that opens onto the pool deck. This area would be a caterer's dream for outdoor pool parties. The upper level contains a second primary bedroom and bath with two additional bedrooms and a hall bath. The attic has been converted into the perfect teen homework hangout or additional bedroom. The rear of the property features an in-ground pool with newly renovated hardscape and concrete aprons. Below the pool is a multi-sport court for tennis, pickleball or a game of basketball. A spacious parking area separates the main house from the horse barn & stables which also serves as a garage and storage area. Inside the barn, there are two stables, a tack room, a grooming area and plenty of storage for outdoor equipment. The barn opens to a fenced paddock area which also provides easy access to wooded horse trails surrounding the property. This amenity-filled oasis in the River Hill school district provides the perfect setting for active lifestyles and diverse interests. There is a little of everything for everyone tucked into this peaceful, private setting. Come explore the possibilities!

Rural Residential-Density Exchange Option Overlay District
The Rural Residential District is established to allow low density residential development within a rural environment. The Rural Residential District is intended for an area of the County which is already largely committed to low density residential subdivisions. Within the RR District, agriculture is permitted as well as residential development in both cluster and non-cluster forms. Cluster development is permitted in order to protect environmental and landscape resources and to preserve agricultural land.; The DEO Overlay District is established to provide land owners in the RC and RR Districts with opportunity and incentive to preserve significant blocks of farmland in the rural area of the county. This district is also intended to encourage the clustering of residential development in areas where the development will not have an adverse impact on farm operations. To accomplish this, the DEO District allows residential density in the RC and RR Districts to be exchanged between parcels. Density exchanges in the District should result in large parcels being preserved in perpetuity, while residential development is directed toward parcels which are able to absorb the additional dwellings.
