At about milemarker 37, on the north side of Interstate 70, in Maryland, sits this gorgeous farmhouse. A. and I noticed it each time we drove by. We decided that it was absolutely perfect, the place that if we could own, we would, thus the captions on some of the photographs referring to it as ""Our" farmhouse".
The curb appeal is truly impressive, even from a moving car on the interstate, as shown in the two photographs above.
By itself, the house is a nice, solid example of early 19th century western Maryland architecture. Like most of the buildings in the area, it makes use of the local stone.
The outbuildings - the smokehouse, the springhouse, the barn, and associated buildings - are what make this site so visually pleasing. This farm and its associated property, some more than 110 acres, are the embodiment of the western Maryland farm. They are perfect.
Of course, with Maryland real estate prices what they are, this farm and the associated land would probably fetch a couple million dollars. If the current owners ever decide that they'd rather have a nice, spacious house in Shaker Heights, we'd be more than happy to make an even trade.
