A Once-in-a-Lifetime Opportunity | 139+ Acres of Prime Farmland | Howard County, Sykesville, MD Opportunities like this one simply don't come around often. Over 139 acres of outstanding, highly productive farmland in one of Howard County's most desirable locations — Sykesville, Maryland. To sweeten the deal even further, a beautiful all-brick home situated on its own private one-acre lot right in the middle of the farm is also available for purchase under a separate ownership and listing (MDHW2068128 — 13150 Old Frederick Rd). The home and farm share a private driveway but are completely separate properties with different sellers. Both sellers are open to selling to the same buyer as one combined package — or to separate buyers — giving you plenty of flexibility no matter what you have in mind. This is a rare chance to acquire development rights in a truly special location, whether you're looking for a working farm, a private country escape, or the start of a family legacy estate. The land is ready for your dream home to be built and has everything you need for farming. Electrical utilities are already in place on the property. Residential & Development Rights: The original farmhouse has been removed, leaving a cleared homesite in front of the four-car garage, right next to the neighboring parcel. The farm has the right to build one primary home at the existing homesite without needing Agricultural Board approval, and there's also the option to build in a different location on the lot with board approval. Two tenant house rights are also available, subject to board approval. The seller is not aware of any additional unrestricted lot rights beyond what's described here. Land Preservation & Zoning: The property is part of the Howard County Agricultural Land Preservation Program and is zoned RCDEO. Full documentation is available in the listing documents section. Outstanding Farm Production: For the past ten years, this farm has consistently produced corn, soybeans, and other crops well above the national average — a true reflection of just how good this soil is. Detailed production records and soil grades are available in the documents section. Lifestyle & Outdoor Living: This property isn't just about farming. It's also a fantastic spot for hunting, keeping horses, grazing cattle, all kinds of outdoor activities, and zoned for many business ventures. And as a bonus, it's located in the zone for some of the top-rated public schools in the area.
