Nestled in a prime location on the edge of the Green Ridge State Forest, this historic property offers a unique blend of charm, modern amenities, and outdoor adventure. Originally a 1-room schoolhouse and later a bed and breakfast, this home features a custom kitchen and great room with a 6-burner stove, leathered granite countertops, and live edge maple shelving — perfect for both everyday living and entertaining. The cozy coffee/bourbon bar area off the kitchen adds to the inviting atmosphere. Enjoy breathtaking views of the mountains, stream, and abundant wildlife from the property, with easy access to the Potomac River, C&O Canal, Western MD Rail Trail, and Bill’s Place Tavern. Hikers, bikers, kayakers, hunters, and fishermen will find this location a dream come true. For added income potential, the property includes a glamping tent and suite listed on Hipcamp, with fantastic AirBNB possibilities. The top-floor bedroom boasts a private deck with serene views of 15 Mile Creek, offering a perfect retreat. Outside, the large yard features a fire pit area and a Trex deck — ideal for relaxing and enjoying the natural beauty surrounding you. This one-of-a-kind property seamlessly blends historic charm with modern updates and incredible income potential, all set in a breathtaking location. A new standing seam metal roof was installed in 2021, followed by a major remodel in 2023 that included all-new heating and cooling systems, updated electrical, new flooring, and completely renovated kitchen and bathrooms. In 2024, the home received fresh interior and exterior paint, along with brand new exterior siding, making it truly move-in ready. Don’t miss the chance to own a unique property that offers both comfort and opportunity!
