About this House

What's unique:Serene wooded siteRolling topography

Perfect opportunity to build your dream home or private escape in a serene, wooded site! Peaceful 21.5 acres of Raw land with a rolling topography with elevation ranges from 1,470 to 1,670 feet above sea level. Smithsburg is about 25 minutes to downtown Frederick which is a vibrant city filled with exquisite shops, restaurants and lively entertainment & cultural events all year long! The property is also in close proximity to Cunningham Falls State Park and Catoctin Mountain Park filled with endless hiking trails and recreation! There is an easement through the property with Potomac Edison. The land is also part of a conservation easement held by the Maryland Environmental Trust preserving its natural beauty. Tax Records show address as Tower Road however, the road frontage is on Old Catoctin Road. Two potential homesites have been identified by using topography and soil maps. The southeastern corner of the property appears to be the best location as it has adequate access to Old Catoctin Rd, unrestricted soils and is farthest away from the power line easement. The second location is in the northwestern corner of the property. Access would be off the panhandle from Old Catoctin Rd. This location also has unrestricted soils however, is closer in proximity to the power line easement. RC Zoning The RC zone encourages and supports agricultural activities.

While this school is nice and clean, I will not recommend this school to anyone. The principal and staff doesn’t know how to handle bullying and they don’t report anything to parents when something happens at school. So parents please do your research.
