Explore this impressive 260+/- acre agricultural property offering organic hay production, recreational opportunities, and buildable potential. This property is four contiguous parcels, with no leases or conservation limitations. With 64+/- acres of tillable, between 100–125 round bales of Timothy, clover, Crown vetch, and brome grasses are produced annually—ideal for organic farming or small-scale agricultural pursuits.

Access comes via an EASEMENT AGREEMENT THAT IS NOW RECORDED and begins at a gated entrance along a gravel and dirt drive. Upon reaching the location of the old farmhouse and outbuildings, you’re welcomed with a stunning panoramic view! The property is partially fenced and also has miles of historic rock walls that stretch across the landscape, lending character and charm. Stony Run winds through the acreage for about ½ mile, and there are also a couple of frog ponds—an excellent setting for early morning coffee and peaceful wildlife observation. A portion of the tract was logged in the spring of 2025, opening up scenic views. The acreage that was logged had previously been tillable and, with further clearing, could be returned to pasture or hay production. While cattle haven’t grazed here since 2008, the layout supports future livestock use. The mineral rights do convey, except for tract 1, which have been reserved and can be redeemed in the year 2031.

At the heart of the property sits an uninhabitable five bedroom farmhouse, which could be considered for renovation or repurposing. The location provides privacy and remarkable views, electricity is available, the water is spring fed, and no sewer or septic. Nearby is the barn that could use some repair, but still showcases the original beams. Additional outbuildings offer storage or workshop potential. Included equipment (two balers, two mowers, a rake, a tractor) plus a couple of hunting blinds come with the sale, enabling immediate use of the land.

With agricultural zoning, the property offers flexibility—continue organic hay production, raise livestock, or recreate this land as a private retreat. The landowners say they’ll miss strolling through the hay fields while witnessing the private sunset views. Located within Allegany County’s rustic charm, it's minutes from Westernport and just a short drive to Cumberland via scenic MD 36. This property blends functional farmland, natural beauty, and opportunity for a lifestyle rooted in nature and local Appalachian character.

This expansive 241.87+/- acre property, located just outside the historic city of Cumberland, Maryland, offers a rare and versatile opportunity for investors, developers, and outdoor enthusiasts alike. Recently updated to include an additional 6+/- acres (highlighted on the aerial map within the purple boundary), this massive tract now provides even more room for exploration and planning. The property is currently undergoing a formal subdivision process; while the 241.87+/- acre figure is an estimate, the approximate boundaries are clearly identified on the map by a dashed yellow line, showcasing the sheer scale of the land.

Once a thriving orchard, the landscape has matured into a predominantly mature wooded sanctuary. A serene creek meanders through the lower elevations, creating a picturesque setting that feels worlds away from the hustle and bustle. The diverse topography and dense cover make it a magnet for local wildlife, with an incredible abundance of whitetail deer frequently spotted across the acreage. Whether you are a dedicated hunter or a nature lover, this property offers a private ecosystem that is hard to replicate.

Accessibility is a major highlight, with over half a mile of road frontage providing easy entry and significant potential for further subdivision. While the existing farmhouse and barn are currently in a non-habitable state, they offer a nostalgic footprint for those interested in restoration projects or repurposing historic materials.

Despite its profound privacy, the property is strategically located near essential amenities. UPMC Western Maryland is only 3.5 miles away, and the entertainment of Rocky Gap Casino, Resort & Golf is a short 8-mile drive. This property perfectly balances the tranquility of a mountain retreat with the utility of future land development.
