Welcome to one of the most idyllic properties in all of Upper Marlboro. This custom-built, log home was designed and constructed just over 25 years ago, and it sits on 18 acres in the beautiful horse and wine country of Southern Maryland. This incredibly private property is surrounded by magnificent large, hardwood trees and agricultural preserves so little can disturb its peace and tranquility. The 3,764 total square foot house was built using white pine, D logs, and it features a light-filled great room with a soaring vaulted ceiling, floor-to-ceiling windows, skylight windows and 10" heart pine wood floors. The open floor plan has an open concept kitchen with countertops made of wood from rafters of a church built in 1840, a large dining area and family room and a 14' wood burning fireplace with a ventilator fan to distribute heat. The main level also includes a fabulous primary bedroom suite with a Jacuzzi-style tub, separate shower, double sink vanity, and a walk-in closet, sliding glass doors to the deck from the primary bedroom, an office or nursery with lovely views of the front yard and pastures, laundry and mudroom and a powder room. Upstairs is a spacious loft with a large bedroom, full bath with skylight, large closet and storage area. The lower level has radiant heated floors, a family room, large bedroom, full bath, an additional room with wall-to-wall carpet with a closet plus a large, unfinished storage area with a wall of cedar closets. The lower level also has a walk-out to the backyard and a private outdoor shower. The 2-car garage has radiant heated floors and a vaulted ceiling. The windows and skylights are Andersen. Walk out to a beautiful, large, pressure-treated deck and patio that expands the back of the house. Systems include well and septic, water filter system, HVAC, central vacuum, water sprinkler fire system and a 400-amp electric service. The house sits on a two-acre, wooded yard, all part of the 18 acres. There are six acres dedicated to a fenced-in pasture with two barns, both with electricity and water. One barn is 16' x 50' with an attached 30' x 30' bird aviary. The other is 16' x 24' with two horse paddocks. There is an additional fenced-in stall area for smaller animals, three sheds, a 24' x 40' fenced-in garden with water access.
