Historically significant stone home dating to the 1760s, with an addition believed to have been completed in the 1840s. Owned by two surgeons during the Civil War era, this remarkable property is rich in history and ideally located near Battle of Antietam sites and destinations including Antietam National Battlefield, Harpers Ferry, and Shepherdstown. Also just minutes from Gathland State Park. This exceptional property offers endless possibilities for hobby farmers, 4-H families, equestrians, contractors, business owners, artisans, or multigenerational living. The adjacent building lot is also available, creating potential for a second dwelling, additional acreage, or future investment.
