Property Description
Zillow’s estimate does not reflect the total acreage of the parcels, or that it is a "1000 year home" with insulated reinforced concrete walls (ICF), designed and built 50% stronger than code and conventional stick homes. See the “mexico beach survivor” on google for an example of how strong and impervious this fortress is. The owners can rest assured they are prepared for global climate change, extreme storm events, and fire.
Surrounded by owners’ parcels so no development can occur nearby expect if the owner decides to use all the road frontage to further develop and/or subdivide.
Because the of the change in character of the surrounding parcels to some commercial which has been allowed, this may be an excellent investment for someone wishing a zoning overlay to allow commercial.
For this owner, this home is like camping in the woods with all the in-home conveniences while still very close to the I-70 freeway ramps and just two hours from the DC/Baltimore area.
The upper back deck has the feel of being up in a treehouse overlooking the valley seeing exquisite landscaping and nature at its best. There are trails from both sides of the lower rear patio that lead around the grounds to the three small ponds where the fish are waiting to be fed. You can see all the seasons change and there is something in bloom every month of the year.
Big enough to handle multiple families with plenty of parking or a vacation home for the whole family to stay comfortably. The C&O national park and Little Pool lake is within 1 mile where there is a paved trail for biking, the C&O trail for hiking, as well as fishing, boating.
A PhD degreed professional engineer designed and built this unique, one of a kind constructed home for himself and his family. This home was built using Insulated concrete forms (ICF) which is much stronger and superior to conventional construction. The walls are 8” think reinforced concrete with over 2 inches of Styrofoam insulation on the inside and outside for a total thickness of 12”. They extend all the way to the roof. Since they are super insulated, energy costs are reduced, and outdoor noise is reduced. They can withstand tornado force winds, and are impervious to termites and insects, moisture, rot, and fire.
7000 SF of total indoor living space. Vaulted ceiling in the Great Room and 9 tall ceilings everywhere else on the main floor.
Upstairs includes: Large master and connected master bath with shower, whirlpool bath, toilet room and 2 large walk-in closets (with a washer/dryer in hers). In law- suite with living room, bedroom, bathroom, and kitchenette, 2 other bedrooms each with a bathroom – Also, a laundry room with a door that leads to a fenced-in side yard and an office than could be used as an additional bedroom.
The walk-out basement offers versatile space with large game room, a kitchenette, 3 additional rooms, a bathroom, a rough in for an additional bathroom, and plenty of additional space and storage rooms.
1000 sf covered rear deck with covered patio below. Solarium room in the basement. Solar panels help reduce energy costs. Extra-large water heater for master suite tub.
The home is a sanctuary for both relaxation and entertainment. It would make a great bed and breakfast with plenty of parking and owner has a field across the street to add anything they desire. This home can also be a vacation home with plenty of surrounding trails, creeks and even a paved trail all just within a few miles.
In environmental conservation zoning and surrounded by platted forest conservation easements that cannot be developed. Directly adjacent to the Western Maryland Sportsmen’s Club preserve which is over 100 acres and is in permanent Forest Conservation Easement.
It's a must see. Too much to list on
