About this home
Set on 5.18 private acres in Ellicott City's Triadelphia Ridge / Folly Quarter / Glenelg school district, this is a rare, fully-realized homestead property — the kind of land and infrastructure that would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to replicate today, paired with a solid home ready for your personal touch. The 2,680 sq ft residence features exposed-beam architecture, a finished walkout lower level, three bedrooms, two and a half baths, and a fireplace. The home is a blank canvas — bring your own paint, flooring, and finishes to make it your own. What sets this property apart is everything around the house. A spring-fed pond anchors the grounds. Over 4 acres are fully fenced and divided into separate pastures, ready for livestock, rotational grazing, or animal management of your choosing — including horses, if that's part of your plans. A 3-stall barn, a dedicated woodshop, and a separate equipment shed give you real working infrastructure to support whatever your homestead needs. A professional high tunnel greenhouse supports year-round growing, and a premium Carolina Chicken Coop rounds out the setup for self-sufficient living. The mechanical bones are sound: HVAC fully serviced and certified (June 2026), a termite inspection with zero issues (June 2026), an architectural roof under 10 years old, and a major electrical overhaul including dedicated sub-panels run out to the barn and workshop. Recent investment also includes a new well injection system, water softener, full well pump replacement, and a new water heater. This is a property for someone who wants land, water, and working infrastructure already in place — with the opportunity to customize the home itself to their taste. Schedule your private tour today.

Rural Residential-Density Exchange Option Overlay District
The Rural Residential District is established to allow low density residential development within a rural environment. The Rural Residential District is intended for an area of the County which is already largely committed to low density residential subdivisions. Within the RR District, agriculture is permitted as well as residential development in both cluster and non-cluster forms. Cluster development is permitted in order to protect environmental and landscape resources and to preserve agricultural land.; The DEO Overlay District is established to provide land owners in the RC and RR Districts with opportunity and incentive to preserve significant blocks of farmland in the rural area of the county. This district is also intended to encourage the clustering of residential development in areas where the development will not have an adverse impact on farm operations. To accomplish this, the DEO District allows residential density in the RC and RR Districts to be exchanged between parcels. Density exchanges in the District should result in large parcels being preserved in perpetuity, while residential development is directed toward parcels which are able to absorb the additional dwellings.
