About This Home
Where history meets adventure. Nestled on the edge of Green Ridge State Forest, this one-of-a-kind property offers a rare blend of historic charm, thoughtful updates, and outdoor appeal. Originally a one-room schoolhouse and later a bed and breakfast, the home has been transformed with care and creativity. The custom kitchen and great room feature a 6-burner stove, leathered granite countertops, and live-edge maple shelving, complemented by a cozy coffee/bourbon bar that adds warmth and character.
Breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains, a tranquil stream, and abundant wildlife create a peaceful backdrop, while nearby access to the Potomac River, C&O Canal, Western MD Rail Trail, and Bill’s Place Tavern makes this a dream setting for hikers, bikers, kayakers, hunters, and fishermen.
The top-floor bedroom includes a private deck with serene views of 15 Mile Creek, perfect for quiet mornings or starry nights. The expansive yard offers a fire pit area and a Trex deck, ideal for relaxing or entertaining in nature’s embrace.
For those interested in income potential, the property includes a glamping tent and suite listed on Hipcamp, with strong possibilities for Airbnb hosting.
Recent updates make this home truly move-in ready: a new standing seam metal roof in 2021, a full remodel in 2023 with new HVAC, electrical, flooring, and completely renovated kitchen and bathrooms, and fresh interior and exterior paint with new siding in 2024.
A unique opportunity to own a beautifully updated property filled with history, comfort, and adventure.
