PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

Thistle Hill Farm is the kind of property that gives you options rarely found in the Hereford Zone. Set on 16.87 acres with a beautifully renovated historic farmhouse, multiple barns and outbuildings, 4 fenced paddocks, an in-ground pool, pool cabana, detached garage and expansive open land, the property offers the ability to live, work, entertain and enjoy the outdoors all in one place. The combination of the two parcels creates additional flexibility for future plans, including potential subdivision, a family compound, preservation, farming or simply holding a large tract of private land. The property is located in the Hereford Zone within Baltimore County Public Schools, with Prettyboy Elementary, Hereford Middle and Hereford High serving the property. Just roughly one mile from Prettyboy Reservoir and trails and approximately 20 minutes from Hunt Valley, you get the privacy and space of a true farm while remaining within reach of shopping, dining and everyday conveniences. This is a property with the land, improvements, location and flexibility to create something truly special.
