Burkittsville's rural character comes with mountain views
Heavily wooded areas weave through Maryland farmland like smoky tendrils. Burkittsville, situated east of Gathland State Park, offers rural living with Harpers Ferry and Frederick at most 15 miles away. Out in the farmland, houses are few and far between. Two significant clusters of residential streets lie on the east and west ends of the neighborhood, with the middle hosting the occasional ranch-style house with multiple acres. Having an office space at home is something more buyers are considering, even in rural areas like this one. “Working from home is now more widely accepted, which has allowed people to move farther out into the country and not worry about commutes,” explains Realtor Eric Steinhoff of eXp Realty. “People want to get out in the country and have mountain views."
