Spectacularly situated adjacent to Liberty Reservoir, this stunning 24 acre estate rests in a once in a lifetime location. Surrounded by preserved forest and trails, yet in the hub of so many commuter routes, this custom, craftsman style home has had every detail thought out from the day ground was broken on construction to the final details. The tree lined driveway at the end of a dead end, quiet road, brings you to the threshold of your new lifestyle. The architectural details of the residence feature a marriage of brick, stone, board and batten, shake style shingle, natural wood, and countless details creating a beautifully unique and elevated first impression. Through the mahogany, 8ft double front doors, the soaring brick foyer invites you inside. 10ft ceilings and oak hardwood throughout, the floorplan of 2521 Bollinger Mill is open, inviting, and very functional while still maintaining thoughtfulness and confluence of design throughout. The kitchen features quartz countertops, a large center island, luxury appliances including a stove that is both induction and gas (with a pot filler above!), brick backsplash, copper pendant lighting, and a stone hearth open to the kitchen. There is also a large butler’s pantry leading to the formal dining room. The eat-in area of the kitchen is tucked into a large windowed bump-out, with room for a full dining table and views of the acreage and approximately 900-sf custom stone deck. 

The sunken living room provides the perfect place for entertaining, relaxing, and making memories, with the coffered ceiling featuring a wood inlay and another stone fireplace (both fireplaces are wood burning with the ability to convert to gas already piped in). Floor to ceiling windows and a slider to the deck provide stunning, panoramic views of the Reservoir and your acreage. The deck spans the back of the home, providing a tranquil and private overlook perfect for entertaining, al fresco dining, or simply taking in the views. The first floor is finished by a spacious mudroom with large 36’ farmhouse utility sink, custom cabinetry and brick floor, powder room, oversized 3 car garage tubed for radiant heat, an office, and multiple strategically placed coat closets. 

Upstairs from the foyer, where the chandelier is self lowering for cleaning or decorating, you’re met with a large landing. An open family room or playroom drenched in sunlight provides those pastoral views. The primary bedroom features a tray ceiling, large walk-in closet, gas fireplace, and its own zone for heating and cooling. The bath is nothing short of luxurious, with a true 2-person jetted tub with chandelier and amazing views. The large, walk-in shower is digitally programmed and the custom tile throughout the primary bathroom is a work of art. The floor of the primary bath is also prepped for radiant heat. 

The second floor also features a large, lovely laundry room with custom cabinetry. Two of the sizable secondary bedrooms share a bath between them at the end of the hall, and the additional spare bedroom has its own private bath attached without hallway access. Each bedroom features a large closet and ample natural light. Functional, versatile, and wonderfully laid out, this home lends itself to easy living. 

The fully finished basement is ready for guests and entertaining with a large bedroom with full size window and well appointed full bath. The expansive great room has a brick wall continued downstairs from the kitchen above, a large entertainment area, and french doors leading to the patio underneath the deck, framed with brick pillars. There is also a utility sink which can easily be turned into a wet bar. 

Outside, the expansive acreage can be host to anything your dreams desire. There are currently multiple fenced larger fields (5 and 6 acre) and smaller paddocks with water run to them. The larger fields are fenced with wire mesh, and the top sight wire can be electric. The paddocks are fenced with 7 strand. The acreage is truly magical, with a grove of trees at the back of the property bordering Liberty Reservoir and containing direct access to the trail network. A majority of the acreage is open field, but the bands of trees and woods around the perimeter of the property provide seclusion for your country retreat. A grove with large trees is the perfect place to take a moment to be in the “now” - and with this property, you will always want to be present. 

A short golf cart or Gator ride away from the main house is the detached 68x42 shop with 3 oversize garage doors and 200 amp service. The shop has a concrete floor and outside there is a camper hookup. The real defining feature is the apartment - a ground floor, exterior entrance leads you into a completely separate dwelling. A full kitchen, living/dining area, primary bedroom with walk-in closet, full bath, and office space would be perfect for a multigenerational use, caretaker, at-home business and more. This living space can be approved under Carroll County’s new Accessory Dwelling Unit Guidelines. 

2521 Bollinger Mill Rd is the country estate you’ve been waiting for. With functional acreage, a myriad of outdoor spaces both for recreational use or for operating a business, and so many special locations both indoors and out - you will never want to leave home. Idyllic, private, and in an exclusive location, this haven provides a mix of indoor, outdoor, agricultural, and business amenities you’ll be hard pressed to find elsewhere. No matter what purposes this property might serve for you, you will be enchanted by the land, setting, and customization this property generously offers.
