BURKITTSVILLE, MD 21718
Description
Resting quietly on the gentle slopes of South Mountain, this circa 1850 log home stands as a timeless sentinel overlooking an endless, breathtaking expanse of protected Maryland farmland. Bounded by 1.18 partially wooded acres where whispering canopy meets open sky, the property captures a rare, romantic spirit of place-a canvas of natural serenity where historical depth and quiet beauty converge...........Beneath the weatherboard siding of this traditional residence lies the sturdy, honest craftsmanship of hand-hewn mid-19th-century log construction. Protected under a classic metal roof, the home awaits a thoughtful hand to reawaken its character. Inside, two to three bedrooms and one and a half bathrooms center around original wood floors that carry the warm patina of past generations. Outside, an weathered frame barn awaits its own resurrection, offering an ideal setting for an artist's studio, rustic workshop, or agricultural sanctuary..........Having silently borne witness to the fierce clash of the Civil War Battle of South Mountain on September 14, 1862, the home is proudly situated within the Crampton's Gap Historic District. Yet, unlike many historic treasures, this haven comes with the rare privilege of zero local historic restrictions, granting complete creative freedom to honor its heritage while modernizing to your exact vision..........An exceptional candidate for conventional, FHA 203(k), or VA renovation loans, this unique listing allows buyers to easily combine the purchase and restoration costs into a single mortgage. Located just moments from the historic village of Burkittsville, Gathland State Park, the Appalachian Trail, and local vineyards, this South Mountain Log House is a poetic invitation to sculpt your own peaceful retreat out of living American history.
