Description
Some Places Witness History. Others Become Part of It. As America celebrates its 250th Anniversary, few properties offer the chance to own a tangible connection to the past. Tucked away on one of Maryland's most historic corridors, 1116 & 1118 Gumbottom Road encompasses nearly 45 acres of history, legend, and possibility. Once a farm and steeped in local lore with ties to Maryland's colonial and Revolutionary-era heritage, this is more than a home—it's a rare opportunity to become part of the American story.Set on a quiet no-through road, the property includes approximately 40 acres plus a separate 5-acre parcel with a 1997 perc test on file (county approval required; buyers to verify). Whether envisioned as a private estate, equestrian retreat, homestead/hobby farm, or multi-generational compound, the possibilities are as expansive as the landscape itself.Rolling pastures, mature trees, ATV trails, and multiple outbuildings—including a barn and former horse corral—create a setting that feels worlds away, yet remains convenient to Annapolis, Baltimore, Washington, D.C., golf courses, marinas, dining, and shopping.The thoughtfully updated farmhouse blends modern comfort with timeless character. Recent improvements include updates to the roof, barn, electrical and plumbing systems, flooring, paint, and bathrooms, preserving the home's charm while making it move-in ready. Inside, six bedrooms and six bathrooms offer exceptional flexibility. The heart of the home is a welcoming kitchen with quartz countertops that opens to a warm family room with exposed beams and a fireplace. A formal dining room, sun-filled office/parlor overlooking magnolia trees, and a main-level primary suite with private entrance, ensuite bath, and sweeping pasture views complete the first floor.Upstairs, three additional bedrooms include a private ensuite and two connected by a charming secret passageway, along with a beautifully renovated full bath.The lower level features a spacious recreation room, workshop, half bath, and direct access to the three-car garage.Outdoors, the lifestyle opportunities are endless. Explore wooded trails, gather around the secluded campsite and fire pit, practice your golf swing, relax by the pool, or simply enjoy the peace and privacy of your own historic countryside retreat.Rarely does a property offer this combination of acreage, character, history, and future potential. More than a home, this is a legacy property—one that has witnessed generations of Maryland history and is ready for its next chapter.Sale includes the separate 5-acre parcel known as 1118 Gumbottom Road. A perc test was completed in 1997; buyers are responsible for independently verifying all development potential with Anne Arundel County.Conveniently located near golf courses, dining, shopping, and boating, this is more than a home—it’s a rare opportunity to enjoy a turnkey property with room to grow. Sale includes the 5-acre parcel known as 1118 Gumbottom Rd.(a previous perc was done in 1997).*Per the county, buyers must verify independently. Agents please see remarks.
