A Rare Gem in Montgomery County’s Agricultural Reserve - Welcome to 22818 Howard Chapel Road, a truly special and rarely available property nestled on over 5 picturesque acres in Brookeville, Maryland. Perfectly situated in Montgomery County’s protected Agricultural Reserve, this active horse farm offers endless possibilities for those seeking a rural lifestyle without sacrificing convenience. The home spans over 2,500 square feet and features 3 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms, offering a spacious and flexible floor plan full of character. Built in 1980 but designed to resemble the timeless craftsmanship of 1600s New England architecture. From rich wood beams to warm, historic details throughout, the home radiates authentic charm and unique craftsmanship rarely found today. The property features a state-of-the-art geothermal heating and cooling system, offering energy efficiency and sustainable year-round comfort. Enjoy reduced utility costs and a smaller carbon footprint with this eco-friendly upgrade. The land is a working horse farm, currently home to two horses, but welcomes all your favorite farm companions—bring your chickens, goats, pigs, llamas, and more. The expansive, open pastures provide plenty of room to roam, stunning sunset views, and the tranquil beauty of country living. Located just minutes from Waredaca Brewing Company, about 10 minutes to Lone Oak Brewing Co. , 2.5 miles from Rachel Carson Conservation Park, 3 miles from Patuxent River State Park and approximately 15 minutes to downtown Olney, MD, you’ll enjoy the perfect blend of peaceful seclusion and vibrant local amenities. Important to note—the land cannot be subdivided, ensuring lasting privacy and the preservation of its rural beauty for generations to come. 2 acres of the property have an invisible fence installed. Septic field is NOT in the backyard so a pool can easily be installed. This is an incredibly rare opportunity and properties like this do not come on the market often. Whether you're dreaming of an equestrian retreat, a sustainable farm, or simply a life surrounded by nature's beauty, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity you don't want to miss.
*Taxable value of land and structures on it ("additions") is determined regularly by local assessors and does not affect market price.

AR
Agricultural Reserve Zone
The intent of the AR zone is to promote agriculture as the primary land use in areas of the County designated for agricultural preservation in the general plan, the Functional Master Plan for Preservation of Agriculture and Rural Open Space, and other current or future master plans. The AR zone accomplishes this intent by providing large areas of generally contiguous properties suitable for agricultural and related uses and permitting the transfer of development rights from properties in this zone to properties in designated receiving areas; Agriculture is the preferred use in the AR zone. All agricultural operations are permitted at any time, including the operation of farm machinery. An agricultural use cannot be restricted on the grounds that it interferes with other uses permitted in the zone but uses that are not exclusively agricultural in nature must satisfy additional use standards or the conditional use approval process; The intent of the child lot option in the AR zone is to facilitate the continuation of the family farming unit and to otherwise meet the purposes of the AR zone.
