Description
Little has changed in the open spaces of carroll Branch farm since 1784, the year John Shepperd purchased the land from the State of Maryland, which had seized My Lady's Manor during the Revolutionary War. It was held by Shepperd's descendants until the 1920's, then purchased in 1958 from retiring dairy farmers by Ike and Harriet Iglehart, who expanded it's acreage for preservation and carefully tended to its 250 year old turf and harvest fields. None have been more privileged by natural abundance, the pleasure of cultivation, or the grandeur of our beloved Maryland than those who have resided here. May that legacy continue....The main house has 2 stories with 6 bedrooms. The first floor's updated kitchen and breakfast room are adjacent to a lovely dining room with pleasing views. The spacious living room with a wood burning fireplace and french doors has access to a stone patio which provides great opportunities for entertaining. The first floor library provided yet another large wood burning fireplace. Upstairs you will find the main bedroom suite with a wood burning fireplace and a private dressing room and bath. There are two additional bedrooms with private baths and a back wing with 3 bedrooms and a full bath. Several outbuildings surrounding the main house offering amenitites for livestock. Included in this offering is a separate parcel with a 2 bedroom cottage and several out buildings. Total of 211 acres.
