Historic. Stately. Unique. The John Payne Farm is located about 3 miles west of Hampstead, Maryland and is set on 23.38 gently rolling acres in the rural countryside of Carroll County. The land was purchased by Mr. Payne c.1854 and a substantial stone house was constructed c.1858-1868. The farm remained in Payne’s name until his death in 1899. Each subsequent owner has done their part to improve and maintain the character and historic elements that make this property such a treasured place. The property is protected under the Maryland Agricultural Land Preservation Foundation (MALPF) and is zoned Agricultural. Today, the farm consists of the main c.1858-1868 stone residence, a 1940 guest cottage, 2 one-story outbuildings, a large heavy timber-framed bank barn, 2 additional barns, and a sparkling heated saltwater pool and bluestone terrace. These structures are framed by beautiful fenced paddocks and a riding ring, and the setting is splendid! The John Payne Farm is being offered publicly for the first time in over 45 years. This is a rare opportunity to become the next steward of this beautiful historic property!
