Description

Explore this impressive 260+/- acre agricultural property offering organic hay production, recreational opportunities, and buildable potential. This property is four contiguous parcels, with no leases or conservation limitations. With 64+/- acres of tillable, between 100–125 round bales of Timothy, clover, Crown vetch, and brome grasses are produced annually—ideal for organic farming or small-scale agricultural pursuits.

Access comes via a recorded easement agreement and begins at a gated entrance along a gravel and dirt drive. Upon reaching the location of the old farmhouse and outbuildings, you’re welcomed with a stunning panoramic view! The property is partially fenced and also has miles of historic rock walls that stretch across the landscape, lending character and charm. Stony Run winds through the acreage for about ½ mile, and there are also a couple of frog ponds—an excellent setting for early morning coffee and peaceful wildlife observation. A portion of the tract was logged in the spring of 2025, opening up scenic views. The acreage that was logged had previously been tillable and, with further clearing, could be returned to pasture or hay production. While cattle haven’t grazed here since 2008, the layout supports future livestock use. The mineral rights do convey, except for tract 1, which have been reserved and can be redeemed in the year 2031.

At the heart of the property sits an uninhabitable five bedroom farmhouse, which could be considered for renovation or repurposing. The location provides privacy and remarkable views, electricity is available, the water is spring fed, and no sewer or septic. Nearby is the barn that could use some repair, but still showcases the original beams. Additional outbuildings offer storage or workshop potential. Included equipment (two balers, two mowers, a rake, a tractor) plus a couple of hunting blinds come with the sale, enabling immediate use of the land.

With agricultural zoning, the property offers flexibility—continue organic hay production, raise livestock, or recreate this land as a private retreat. The landowners say they’ll miss strolling through the hay fields while witnessing the private sunset views. Located within Allegany County’s rustic charm, it's minutes from Westernport and just a short drive to Cumberland via scenic MD 36. This property blends functional farmland, natural beauty, and opportunity for a lifestyle rooted in nature and local Appalachian character.
