REISTERSTOWN, MD 21136

Beyond a private stone-gated entrance and winding tree-lined drive lies one of Baltimore County's most extraordinary estates. Encompassing more than 61 breathtaking acres bordering the Liberty Reservoir Preserve, this remarkable property offers an exceptional blend of architectural beauty, natural serenity, and modern luxury. Rolling pastures, mature woodlands, tranquil ponds, a picturesque stream, and protected scenery create a setting that feels worlds away, yet is just minutes from Hunt Valley, downtown Baltimore, and BWI Airport. At the heart of the estate is a spectacular residence offering more than 8,000 square feet of beautifully renovated living space. Inspired by timeless post-and-beam architecture, the home masterfully blends rustic character with contemporary elegance. Original stonework, vintage chestnut beams, soaring vaulted and cathedral ceilings, dramatic floor-to-ceiling windows, and handcrafted architectural details define the home's distinctive design. A magnificent central stone hearth and chimney serves as the home's architectural centerpiece, while three impressive stone fireplaces add warmth and timeless charm. Expansive gathering spaces are balanced by intimate living areas, creating an atmosphere that is both grand and welcoming, with natural light filling every room and breathtaking views at every turn. The gourmet country kitchen is designed for both everyday living and effortless entertaining, featuring premium stainless steel appliances, generous island seating, custom cabinetry, abundant prep space, a butler's pantry, and seamless flow into the family room, dining areas, and screened porch overlooking the pool and grounds. The luxurious primary suite offers a private balcony with sweeping views of the ponds, pastures, and surrounding forest. Spacious secondary bedrooms, beautifully updated baths, flexible living spaces, and a separate guest cottage provide exceptional accommodations for family and guests. Designed for recreation, entertaining, and equestrian living, the estate features a resort-style in-ground pool, lighted tennis court, expansive patios and porches, beautifully landscaped grounds, nearly 20 acres of fenced pasture, horse trails, multiple run-in sheds, a beautifully crafted four-stall post-and-beam bank barn, detached garages, and a charming guest cottage. Every element has been thoughtfully designed to embrace the surrounding landscape while providing exceptional opportunities for relaxation, outdoor adventure, and unforgettable gatherings. Backing directly to thousands of protected acres of the Liberty Reservoir Preserve, the property offers immediate access to hiking, horseback riding, fishing, birdwatching, and abundant wildlife. Modern conveniences, including fiber optic internet, a whole-house generator, Andersen windows, HardiePlank siding, and extensive renovations, complement the home's timeless appeal while preserving its exceptional craftsmanship. Whether envisioned as a private family estate, equestrian retreat, weekend escape, or entertainer's paradise, this is a rare opportunity to own a legacy property where remarkable architecture, unmatched privacy, and extraordinary natural surroundings come together to create an unforgettable lifestyle.
