About This Home

Welcome to this stunning 161-acre estate, nestled in the hills of Carroll County. As you drive down the private driveway, you'll pass two expansive hay fields and lush timber, ensuring the home's seclusion from the road. Perched elegantly on a ridge, the house offers panoramic valley views that will take your breath away. Upon entering, you're greeted by the home's inviting hardwood floors and a spacious entryway that flows seamlessly into the open dining area, kitchen, and living room. The high-end kitchen has an open flow to the living area and is a chef's dream. Equipped with beautiful cabinets, ample storage, granite countertops, a Viking range, and a double oven.
