Presenting an extremely unique opportunity to own 7.5 acres of flat farmland in Anne Arundel County! Bring your horses and tend to your farmette in the morning, then enjoy the afternoon at the waterfront county park in your backyard! A chance like this does not present itself very often – welcome to 4931 Idlewilde Rd! This quaint, one level rancher is situated in peaceful Shady Side, Maryland. It is currently set up as a 2-bedroom home; however, when the sellers purchased the property there were 3 bedrooms (the sellers will convert it back to 3 if the buyer would like). The private wooded driveway leads you to the residence, where you’re greeted by a small fenced-in front yard and a side-entry garage. Walking into the backyard, the property opens up and the sun shines through brightly! There are multiple fenced areas that can be used for pasture land, a riding ring, raising chickens, gardening, composting and so much more. As you continue to the back of the property, you will find multiple barn structures that can offer so many functional uses. Board your horses in the stalls, store your hay or farm equipment, or convert one of the barns into a massive workshop. The rear property line abuts Jack Creek Park, a controlled access public park offering beautiful scenery, a hiking trail, space to launch a kayak, and a sandy beach for ultimate relaxation. Additionally, boaters can utilize the public paved boat ramp at Discovery Village which is just a few blocks from the residence! Inside the home you will find comfortable one level living with a formal living room, eat-in kitchen with granite countertops and gas stove, and spacious family room which overlooks the farm. The primary bedroom offers an ensuite bathroom and a spacious closet. A 2nd bedroom and full bathroom with a gorgeous clawfoot tub are located in the hallway. HVAC replaced in 2021. Private well and public sewer. You can’t beat this location - only 45 min from Baltimore or DC, and 30 minutes to Annapolis! There may be subdivision potential - the property is 7.5 acres and zoned R1. Seller has not conducted any feasibility studies and buyer should do their own due diligence. Schedule your tour today!

Cute rancher on over 6 acres, perfect for your farmette! Horses, pigs, goats, chickens. .. if it's allowed by the county, you'll have the room for it. Or, subdivide the land and make some money, county has verified that it can be subdivided, just need an engineering study to determine whether it will be into two or three lots (total). Home needs some cosmetic repairs but is lived in and well loved!
