This expansive partially wooded lot is part of the Grove Hill Farm Estates subdivision that backs up to the Patuxent River State Park. The original Grove Hill Farm dates back to within a decade of the signing of the Constitution, and is associated with an impressive lineage of families like the Brookes, Tysons, Ellicotts, Clarks and Hopkinses. These families had great influence in shaping both Montgomery and Howard counties, and their names are still relevant today. Brookeville, Ellicott City and Johns Hopkins University are some notable examples. This 5.94 acre lot was once part of the original Grove Hill Farm, and epitomizes the perfect combination of cleared area, green space and woods with a deep setback from the main road. With wooded areas separating all lots in the subdivision of no less than 2.07 acres, privacy is abundant. In addition, the 6700 acre adjacent park contains stunning natural habitat, vast varieties of plant and animal life, as well as numerous activities for outdoor enjoyment. These include miles of hiking, horseback riding, fishing, hunting, kayaking and canoeing to name a few. Together, the rural nature of the area is captivating and should be preserved in perpetuity. But don’t let all that nature make you think civilization is far away. The property is in close proximity to restaurants, shopping, entertainment, music and other public venues. It’s also just minutes away from of the MD200 Intercounty Connector and Maryland Route 650 ramp, providing convenient access to Washington, DC, Baltimore, BWI.
