Colonial-Era Estate in Maryland Horse Country

Welcome to Walnut Hill, a living piece of American history nestled in the horse country of western Howard County. One of the earliest surviving 18th-century homes in Howard County, this is a rare opportunity to own a piece of Maryland’s Colonial heritage. The home, partially clad in locally quarried stone, exhibits its original log-cabin structure in the main room on the ground floor. Additionally, most of the antique and semi-antique furnishings may be included with the property.

Perched gently above the surrounding countryside, Walnut Hill overlooks a patchwork of farm fields and the heirloom walnut trees that inspired the estate’s name. Upon entering the home, you are greeted by an enchanting living room showcasing original log cabin construction, remarkable beamed ceilings, and stacked and notched log walls. The grand dining room features crown molding, rich wood wainscoting, a brass chandelier with a ceiling medallion, and an impressive fireplace accented by brass sconces. The main level is complete with a kitchen, a full bathroom, and a cedar closet. Upstairs, three bright bedrooms are served by a remodeled full bathroom finished with porcelain tile and all-new fixtures. A large upper-level den centered around a beautifully framed period fireplace offers flexible living space ideal for a library, study, or sitting room. Situated on a 43,342 square foot lot with heirloom walnut trees and sweeping countryside vistas, this one-of-a-kind property is a peaceful retreat steeped in history. Located in the scenic countryside of western Howard County, Woodbine is known for its rolling farmland, equestrian estates, and serene rural setting with convenient access to Baltimore and Washington, D. C. Nearby are local restaurants, farm markets, parks, and outdoor recreation, including Western Regional Park and Piney Run Park. The property is served by highly regarded Howard County schools.
