About 969 Old Elkton Pike
Rare opportunity to own an extraordinary storybook farmstead on 68 beautiful acres where master craftsmanship, history, and nature converge. The centerpiece is a distinctive 4BR/2.5BA Craftsman-style home inspired by European timber-frame architecture and handcrafted by a master woodworker using timber harvested from the property. Traditional joinery features notched beams secured with oak pegs rather than nails. Inside, a dramatic three-story great room and open-concept design create a warm, impressive gathering space. Exceptional craftsmanship is showcased throughout with custom cherry cabinetry, handcrafted walnut and cedar closets, a built-in oak bookcase, and a magnificent hand-laid stone fireplace. A beautifully renovated bath with modern walk-in shower adds contemporary comfort. Geothermal heating/cooling and passive-solar features, including a Trombe wall and south-facing windows, enhance energy efficiency. The 68-acre property offers a stunning mix of mature hardwoods, open fields, fenced pastures, and abundant wildlife, including deer and wild turkey. A premium 20'x40' timber-frame workshop with large attic space and attached 10'x40' storage area provides exceptional room for hobbies, equipment, or studio use. Existing barns and fenced fields support horses, livestock, or hobby farming. Historic character abounds with an 1800s stone-walled springhouse and Civil War relics discovered on-site. Covered parking is provided by a 3-car carport. A truly special property offering privacy, beauty, history, exceptional craftsmanship, and the freedom to pursue your passions in a peaceful country setting.
