About 11407 Olde Stone Ln

Welcome to 11407 Olde Stone Lane, where rustic elegance meets architectural excellence. This extraordinary log home, a collaborative labor of love between the owners and renowned local log home builder Ronald Hawes, in partnership with Munsey Log Homes in Tennessee, stands as a true masterpiece of craftsmanship. Crafted with precision, the Eastern white pine logs were meticulously hand-hewn and dovetailed in the timeless Appalachian style. On the outside, this is a classic log home with dry-laid stone walls bordering bountiful garden beds, while on the inside, clean and modern finishes make this home the ultimate turnkey featuring: 4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, an elevator, a large open kitchen, vaulted ceilings, and porches on the front and back. Nestled within the scenic Potomac Highlands, this remarkable property spans an expansive 36 acres on a bluff safely perched more than 200ft above the gentle meanders of the Potomac River. A walking trail down the bluff takes you to the property's 838ft of frontage along the picturesque river. On this property, you're surrounded by peace and quiet, and yet you're just 30 minutes from Frederick and Leesburg and 20 minutes from beautiful Harpers Ferry. If you need to commute into DC, you're 5 minutes from the Brunswick rail station, where the MARC train will take you straight to DC in 90 stress-free minutes. Not to mention, the quaint towns of Lovettsville and Brunswick are equally close at hand, full of wonderful restaurants, breweries, shops, and essentials. The property’s unique status in land use designation not only reflects its environmental stewardship but also bestows the practical advantage of reduced taxes. Of this sprawling landscape, eleven acres are thoughtfully devoted to horticulture where a tapestry of blossoms and greenery thrives. An additional three acres have been allocated to agricultural pursuits, a testament to the property's commitment to sustainable practices. Most notably, twenty-one acres stand adorned with a flourishing orchard, featuring a bountiful array of fruit trees, and a serene expanse of forestry. However, what sets this property apart is its heartwarming partnership with "A Farm Less Ordinary," a noble 501c3 non-profit organization dedicated to providing meaningful employment opportunities to adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Here, the land not only bears fruit but also nurtures the human spirit, fostering a sense of community, purpose, and inclusivity while tending to the earth's bounty. The organization leases part of the agricultural land on an annual basis. The property also includes many auxiliary structures that complement its working character: the big red barn includes ample storage and workspace and is adorned by solar panels that generate power for the log home. The barn was also designed with versatility in mind, as the unfinished second floor could accommodate an apartment with a walkout balcony through the hay doors. In addition, there is a 32x48ft pole barn completed in 2021 and a 20x40ft pole barn completed in 2015. A stone springhouse greets you as you wind your way onto the property, and though it looks charmingly antique, it was built in 2021 with native stone in order to encase a 1500-gallon cistern that can pump water from the dry hydrant pond. The pond, featuring a substantial 120ft dam and stretching 220ft in length, reaches depths exceeding 11ft. Serving as a picturesque and tranquil centerpiece on the property, the pond combines both practical utility and scenic beauty. 11407 Olde Stone Lane epitomizes meticulous craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and sustainable living. With its breathtaking log home, versatile barns, and location on the Potomac River, this property offers a unique and harmonious lifestyle, seamlessly marrying luxury with rustic charm. It beckons you to experience the beauty and functionality of this extraordinary estate and make it your very own piece of paradise.
