6,500+ SQ. FT. OF MUSEUM-GRADE DESIGN OVERLOOKING THE MIDDLETOWN VALLEY

This magnificent 5-acre luxury estate in highly desirable Middletown, MD is situated on rolling, park-like grounds with curated gardens, this sanctuary is completely hidden from neighbors and bordered by protected land. Built from natural cedar and stone, the home offers views of the Middletown Valley and South Mountain, giving a wonderful experience of both sunrise and sunset. Approached via a long, fully lighted driveway, the property opens to an expansive, 12-space parking area and an attached 2-car garage with workspace. In the spring, the grounds come alive with a breathtaking display of hundreds of vibrant flowering trees, offering a deeply private, secure sanctuary for family life.

While grand enough to host wonderful events, the estate remains at its heart an incredibly warm, functional, and livable family home. The sprawling layout scales down beautifully for everyday life, offering cozy corners, dedicated homework or study zones, and seamless indoor-outdoor sightlines that let you keep an eye on children playing in the yard. It effortlessly transitions from a quiet Tuesday night family dinner to a world-class entertainment venue. This home has been celebrated for hosting community events, nonprofit launches, intimate live concerts, art expositions, and elegant weddings. The property’s architectural design and massive parking capacity were intentionally curated to support vibrant social gatherings without sacrificing the intimacy of a true family home.

Long before the current home was built, this sacred landscape bore witness to American history. The property encompasses a portion of the hallowed grounds where Union soldiers staged and camped during the 1862 Maryland Campaign, just before engaging in the historic Civil War Battle of South Mountain.
