11201 OLD ANNAPOLIS ROAD

NEW MARKET, MD 21774

Some properties ask you to live with someone else’s choices. This one invites you to imagine what comes next. This remarkable assemblage of five contiguous parcels offers an extraordinary combination of natural beauty, environmental diversity, recreational amenities, and subdivision potential. Across 324 acres in the heart of Frederick County, there is no residence to renovate, no collection of buildings to work around, and no inherited vision to constrain your own. Instead, this exceptional property offers a rare blank canvas for creating a principal estate, a private family compound, or a subdivision of estate lots. Linganore Creek and its tributaries wind through the landscape, providing more than two miles of water frontage. The diverse terrain encompasses 90 acres of productive cropland and 220 acres of mature hardwood forest. More than ten miles of wide, established trails traverse the property, crossing creeks and following the natural contours of the land. Ideal for horseback riding, e-bikes, ATV/motorcycle recreation, or leisurely walks, the trails range from gently sloping paths to more challenging terrain. Dramatic rock bluffs and elevated promontories overlook the flowing creeks, creating a landscape of unusual character and visual interest. Whitetail deer, wild turkey, foxes, eagles, hawks, and beavers inhabit and grace the property, while small mouth bass and catfish swim the creek, which underscore its remarkable natural character. Fieldstone ruins add a sense of history and discovery to the landscape. For those who value privacy, outdoor recreation, and a meaningful connection to the land, these are amenities that cannot easily be replicated. The property offers the potential for up to 23 lots under an agricultural cluster plan or 17 lots without a specified lot-size restriction; eight septic areas have been field approved. Alternatively, the acreage presents an opportunity to participate in conservation programs that could preserve its natural and agricultural character for future generations while still allowing residential development. While privacy and natural beauty are defining attributes of this property, conveniences are within easy reach. Historic, vibrant downtown Frederick is just 15 minutes away; Baltimore and Washington, D.C., are approximately one hour away. Whether envisioned as a private estate, a multigenerational family compound, a carefully planned subdivision, or a land preservation opportunity, this is a rare offering in a highly desirable mid-Maryland location.
