INCREDIBLE NEW PRICE! Have you ever dreamed of moving away from it all, where you can see the stars in the night sky, but then remembered, oh yeah, I have a job and life here? This is your chance to have it all: a private oasis on four acres, but with all of the modern conveniences including over $200k in upgrades! Ditch the curtains along with your stress, you won't need either in this idyllic home on four acres in the heart of Montgomery County. There is room to spread out - not just on the 4 acres - but this home boasts tons of space inside, too, with five bedrooms. The main floor is the perfect blend of private spaces and open concept and features a FIRST FLOOR BEDROOM AND FULL BATH, gorgeous wood floors, living room, dining room with pocket doors, a drop-dead gorgeous kitchen that is almost too pretty to cook in with custom countertops and over $14k in high-end appliances. But it's not all just about good looks, the kitchen has practical features like a pot filler faucet, a range plus wall oven, even a wine fridge. The kitchen opens to the family room, with its cozy fireplace, which leads into the library with skylights which leads into your solarium with hot tub. Why yes, that is SIX different spaces for entertaining - for those of you who love having other people around. (And you still have the 4 acres of solitude for those of you who love not having people around. ) The gorgeous hardwood continue upstairs, where you will find four bedrooms, including your primary bedroom and bath, all with tree views, plus another full bath. The lower level is full of light and possibility - it could easily be a SIXTH bedroom and has new carpet, another full bath and two exits - one to the side yard and another upstairs to your monster 3-CAR GARAGE. We haven't even talked about all of the updates, yes over $200K in updates, so buckle up: SOLAR ROOF in 2024, TWO Heat Pumps in 2024, Water Pump 2024, Water Softener 2024, Water Heater 2024, Kitchen 2023, a huge fenced area and newly refinished floors and new carpet. All of this and you are still only minutes away from shops and access to everything you need. There's a great walking trail through the Little Seneca conservation area all of two minutes away, a cidery four minutes away, along with the usual shopping suspects within 10 minutes, metro is about 20 minutes away and 270 is about ten minutes. Check out the beautiful cinematic video on the Redfin website or check out the fun video on social media. Owned solar panels offset approx $1,800 in annual electricity costs (about $150 per month based on current utility rates). That monthly savings is equivalent to roughly $25,000 in additional purchasing power.
Est. $4,363 per month, based on comparable rentals

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.
Permitted uses
