About this home
Tucked quietly at the top of Walnut Hill, just outside the town limits of La Plata, this classic Southern Maryland farmhouse offers space, privacy, and flexibility on nearly eight acres of mostly wooded land. It is a rare opportunity to own a La Plata, MD home with acreage that combines historic charm with modern comfort and long-term potential.
The home is a 1930s farmhouse that has been thoughtfully maintained and updated to fit today’s lifestyle. Inside, rooms are generously sized with wood floors, abundant natural light, and plenty of storage throughout. The layout includes four bedrooms and two and a half baths, providing flexibility for daily living, hosting guests, or multi-generational use. A dedicated room with handcrafted built-in bookcases makes an ideal home office, library, or creative space, while high-speed Fios internet ensures working from home in Southern Maryland is both practical and reliable. The primary bathroom features a heated floor, adding a quiet layer of comfort that blends seamlessly with the home’s character.
Above the main living space, a large unfinished attic offers clear potential for future expansion. Whether envisioned as additional bedrooms, studio space, or private living quarters, it provides valuable square footage for buyers looking to grow into the home over time.
The land surrounding the house truly sets this property apart. With nearly eight acres, this Southern Maryland homestead offers room for gardens, small-scale farming, and outdoor projects. Chickens, goats, and hobby farming are natural fits here, as is simply enjoying the privacy and quiet that come with owning acreage. Explore the possibility of an additional home site or future family compound, subject to buyer due diligence. This level of flexibility is rare among La Plata MD properties and adds long-term value beyond the home itself.
The setting unfolds beautifully through all four seasons. In winter, snowfall blankets the wooded landscape, creating a peaceful and private retreat. Spring brings renewal as daffodils emerge and flowering trees soften the view from the wraparound porch. During summer, mature trees provide natural shade and cooling, making outdoor spaces comfortable and inviting even on warm days. In fall, the surrounding woods turn into rich tones of gold and red, transforming the property into a seasonal showcase that changes daily.
The wraparound porch extends across the front and sides of the home and acts as a true extension of the living space. It’s perfect for morning coffee, quiet afternoons, and long evenings, with ceiling fans adding comfort during warmer months and cooler seasons, encouraging relaxing moments outdoors.
Despite the privacy and acreage, the location remains highly convenient. This La Plata, MD, property is just minutes from Target, grocery stores, Starbucks, and local coffee shops, offering a rare combination of country living with easy access to everyday amenities. It’s a secluded setting without isolation, ideal for buyers seeking a retreat-style home that stays connected to town.
This is more than a farmhouse on land. It is a four-season Southern Maryland property designed for those who value space, privacy, and long-term flexibility. Whether your vision includes homesteading, working from home, future expansion, or simply enjoying a peaceful setting close to town, this La Plata, MD, acreage offers an opportunity that is increasingly hard to find!
