Set on 5.18 private acres in Ellicott City's Triadelphia Ridge / Folly Quarter / Glenelg school district, this is a rare, fully-realized homestead property — the kind of land and infrastructure that would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to replicate today, paired with a solid home ready for your personal touch. The 2,680 sq ft residence features exposed-beam architecture, a finished walkout lower level, three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and a fireplace. The home is a blank canvas — bring your own paint, flooring, and finishes to make it your own. What sets this property apart is everything around the house. A spring-fed pond anchors the grounds. Over 4 acres are fully fenced and divided into separate pastures, ready for livestock, rotational grazing, or animal management of your choosing — including horses, if that's part of your plans. A 3-stall barn, a dedicated woodshop, and a separate equipment shed give you real working infrastructure to support whatever your homestead needs. A professional high tunnel greenhouse supports year-round growing, and a premium Carolina Chicken Coop rounds out the setup for self-sufficient living. The mechanical bones are sound: HVAC fully serviced and certified (June 2026), a termite inspection with zero issues (June 2026), an architectural roof under 10 years old, and a major electrical overhaul including dedicated sub-panels run out to the barn and workshop. Recent investment also includes a new well injection system, water softener, full well pump replacement, and a new water heater. This is a property for someone who wants land, water, and working infrastructure already in place — with the opportunity to customize the home itself to their taste.
