About 0 Hanging Rock Rd
38.27 Wooded Acres on Hanging Rock Road, Clear Spring, Maryland!!
38.27 acres of mature hardwood timber and huntable mountain ground — enrolled in the Maryland Forest Stewardship Program and sitting diagonally across the road from the 6,400-acre Indian Springs Wildlife Management Area.
240 Feet +/- Road Frontage. The timber is a mix of rock oak, red oak, white oak, and poplar. Much of the tract is open mature woods, walkable and shaded, with a meaningful share of thicker cover that functions as deer bedding and year-round wildlife habitat. A small shed stands near the top of the property.
For buyers thinking past recreation: Soil mapping identifies roughly 12.9 acres of loam, gently sloping, deep, moderately well drained ground with 80 inches to a restrictive layer. It is the most favorable soil on the tract and the area with high probability for possible perc test sites. No perc test has been performed. Site evaluation and system approval are subject to state and local guidelines. Full NRCS soil reports are available.
Location: Indian Springs WMA across the road, with 6,400 acres of state-managed public land for hunting, hiking, and birding. Trout-stocked Blairs Valley Lake is 1 mile away. Fort Frederick State Park, the C&O Canal, the Potomac River, and Whitetail Resort are all within an easy drive. Exit 18 of Interstate 70 is 5 miles out, putting both the Washington, DC and Baltimore beltways roughly 90 minutes away — close enough for a weekend cabin, far enough to feel like the mountains. Hagerstown is a short drive east.
Timber, habitat, elevation, public land adjacency, and a workable building envelope on one deed! Acreage like this on this stretch of Hanging Rock Road does not turn over often.
