16112 Barnesville Rd, Boyds, MD — Your Private 30-Acre Forest Retreat
Discover unparalleled tranquility and opportunity at this hidden gem tucked away in the woods of Boyds. At the end of a quarter-mile paved driveway lies your own private sanctuary — a beautifully renovated home surrounded by 30 acres of forest and pastureland, with an additional 90 acres of adjoining woods offering unmatched privacy less than 36 miles from The White House, 13 miles from Rio Washingtonian center, & less than 5 miles from the nearest grocery store
This one-of-a-kind property blends modern luxury with historic charm, featuring a fully updated 4-bedroom 4-full bathroom residence and the Drury-Austin Cottage, a restored 18th-century log cabin listed on the Maryland Historical Registry. Once a charming bed-and-breakfast and wedding venue, the cottage and surrounding grounds open the door to exciting business potential — from event rentals, retreats, and farm-to-table experiences to short-term vacation rentals or Airbnb.
Step inside the main home and be captivated by a chef’s kitchen with designer cabinetry, a gourmet range, and an island crafted from a 500-year-old French buffet topped with slate stone. The kitchen flows seamlessly into a vaulted-ceiling great room and a sun-filled Florida room that opens onto a new stone patio — perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying peaceful views of the property’s meadows and mature trees. The fully finished lower level offers a separate entrance, ideal for guests, multigenerational living, or rental flexibility.
The land itself is a nature lover’s paradise — spring-fed pond, two barns, wood shed, chicken coop, and open pastures once home to a thriving sheep farm. Whether you envision hosting elegant outdoor events, creating a countryside Airbnb escape, or simply enjoying total privacy in a rare natural setting, this estate is a canvas for your imagination.
Located minutes from Little Seneca Lake and Black Hills Regional Park, yet within easy reach of I-270, this property offers the best of both worlds — rural seclusion with urban convenience.
