10416 Old Frederick Rd Frederick, MD 21701

Located in the countryside just 15 minutes from the vibrant City of Frederick, this 64-acre farm is a rare blend of history, stewardship, rural beauty, and modern convenience. At the heart of the property stands a remarkable late-1700s stone residence that has been carefully restored and updated while preserving its original character and craftsmanship.
The 2½-story residence is distinguished by a full-length two-level porch, reflecting the timeless character of early rural Maryland architecture. The house is a classic example of German vernacular design enriched with refined Federal-style interior woodwork. A full restoration of the home in 1986 honored its past. The home’s defining historic features remain intact today, including five fireplaces, soaring ceilings, and exposed roof beams in several rooms. Original fireplace surrounds and mantels, white oak and poplar floors, most doors, trim, and window reveals, have been carefully preserved, maintaining the home’s quiet sense of permanence and craftsmanship.
Thoughtful improvements ensure the home remains functional and comfortable for modern living. New 400-amp electrical service, plumbing, and two heat pump systems and a 50 year roof were installed. The main-level floor structure was rebuilt, and new red oak flooring was added to complement the historic character of the residence. The result is a rare balance — the warmth and authenticity of a historic farmhouse paired with the comfort and functionality expected today. The home now features 4,000 square feet of finished, conditioned living space.
The farm reflects the same philosophy of preservation and purpose. More than 90 percent of the acreage is either Prime Farmland or Farmland of Statewide Importance, underscoring the property’s long-term agricultural value. The land supports a mix of productive row crops, fenced pasture, hardwood forest, and a small orchard. A tributary of Fishing Creek winds through the property, further enhancing the natural beauty and ecological character of the landscape. Outbuildings include a former dairy barn, a three-bay machine shed, two large sheds, and the surviving stone foundation of a historic bank barn, all reflecting the property’s enduring agricultural heritage.
All subdivision rights are intact, enabling the potential to create up to four lots. The property also qualifies for land preservation programs that can provide significant financial value to the owner.
This unique property invites you to reconnect with the enduring simplicity of country life. This is a genuine historic farm with an authentic story to tell — one preserved through thoughtful restoration and enriched by decades of careful stewardship. Its character has been earned through time, care, and a lasting connection to the land. The next chapter is yours to write.
