0 Madonna Rd, Jarrettsville, MD 21084

Description

The property has two building rights and may be subdivided. A contract that is contingent on percolation testing will be considered and can be conducted now versus awaiting wet season. The Seller will not hold the property until after a subdivision plat is approved. The property is eligible for the Harford County AG Land Preservation Easement and other easement programs which could easily put $4,000-$8,000/acre back in your pocket!

Most building lots hand you a number on a street and neighbors close enough to wave at. This one hands you twenty private acres, a shared drive of your own, and a pond no one else can see. Take this and build the property of your dreams or use both building rights and start your family compound.

These 20.40 secluded acres rest off Madonna Road in northern Harford County, a few minutes from the village of Madonna and the town of Jarrettsville. A private shared driveway that extends off from Norrisville Rd, leaves the main road and winds back through the trees to the quiet heart of the property. This is where you dreams begin. The interior opens to a possible future, homesite with a three-quarter acre pond in the midst of it all while mature woods wrap around all sides, the kind of setting most people only get to rent for a weekend.

The pond is the centerpiece of family life here. It holds bass and catfish, so the kids can fish it on a warm summer evening and actually catch something. It is quiet and private enough to jump in and cool off in, when the day runs hot. Picture the back porch light coming on, a campfire by the water, and children with the run of their own woods instead of a fenced backyard.

Building here is realistic, not hypothetical. The land carries a history of soil and percolation testing tied to a homesite, the zoning is agricultural, and access reaches the property from both Madonna Road and Norrisville Road, which is Route 23, so you are never depending on a single way in. There is room for the house, a shop or barn, a garden, and still acres of trees left over.

The timber is a real mix of tall white pines and mature hardwoods, and because this is the only sizable block of woods in an area of open agricultural fields, it pulls in wildlife. Deer and wild turkey feed in the surrounding crops and then bed and travel through these woods, leaving trails across the property. For a buyer who hunts, this is merely your own little private wildlife preserve out the back door. For everyone else, it is simply the place where all the deer go and stay.

Families also buy based on locations for the schools, and this address sits in the North Harford High School area of Harford County Public Schools, the rural northern end of the county known for its small-town feel and strong community. Jarrettsville, Bel Air, and the I-83 corridor are all an easy drive, while Rocks State Park, Deer Creek, and the wineries and gardens of northern Harford County are close enough for a weekend.

Build the home you have been picturing on high, dry, private ground. Let the kids grow up with woods to explore and a pond to fish. Hunt the trails in the fall. A secluded homesite of this size, with water, mixed timber, and two ways in, does not come up often in this part of Maryland.
