Welcome to 16909 Batchellors Forest Road—an exceptional custom-built colonial nestled on 28.47 private acres in the heart of Olney, Maryland. Inspired by the historic Charlton House of Williamsburg, Virginia, this elegant 1988 residence blends timeless architecture with thoughtful updates and modern comfort. Tucked away in serene seclusion yet just minutes from Olney’s vibrant town center, the property offers the rare combination of privacy and convenience—with easy access to shopping, dining, and the Glenmont Metro Station, just 20 minutes away for a stress-free commute into Washington, D. C. Inside, the 3,466 square-foot home showcases classic craftsmanship, including re-milled antique heart pine floors that lend warmth and character to the living and dining rooms, main hallway, and a versatile bonus room currently serving as a home office. The traditional floor plan includes four spacious bedrooms and two and a half baths. A central fireplace—originally wood-burning, now converted to gas—serves as a cozy and charming focal point, adaptable to your preferences. Recent upgrades include a brand-new roof, fresh interior paint, professionally cleaned windows, power-washed exterior and roof, updated landscaping, a cleaned septic system (March 2025), and HVAC servicing—ensuring peace of mind. The oversized three-car attached garage offers abundant space for vehicles, storage, or a workshop, making this home as functional as it is beautiful. Timeless elegance, unmatched privacy, and a location that balances retreat with accessibility—this is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a piece of refined country living just outside the city.
Spacious colonial set in a sanctuary of nature. Long gravel driveway through the forest to the house. Three car garage.
