0 Woodmont Rd Hancock, MD 21750

We have 21.99 +/- acres of raw land located off of Woodmont Road in Washington County, only a few miles from Hancock, MD. The property is less than a mile from Interstate 68, and less than 5 miles to Interstate 70 providing great access to Pennsylvania and West Virginia. The property is primarily open with gentle rolling hills, backing to a wooded ridge, and boardered by creeks on the north and south side of the property. Get that remote feeling without giving up good access to the tri-state area. Great access off of Woodmont Road, this property would make a great homesite, farm, farmette, possible crop land, or even a nice horse farm. The zoning is EC "Environmental Conservation District".
