About This Property

Deep in the heart of the Montgomery County Agricultural Reserve, and nestled between lush blooming fruit orchards and horse pastures, lies the renowned “Fern Cottage.” Featured in Plenty Magazine, this charming cottage and garden sits behind a winding tree-lined driveway in a serene, rare corner of true protected countryside. It is a private place to escape the Capital area’s rat race with crisp wintertime views of Sugarloaf Mountain which melt into several thousands cheerfully colored tulips, golden daffodils, and star-blue allium bulbs in the springtime, that give way to a lush carpet of verdant ferns, purple flowered hosta, and juicy raspberries in the summer. This locally-favorite vintage kit house is guarded by giant ancient tulip poplars and old-growth red oaks, and is surrounded by apple, mulberry, and peach trees in a garden landscaped by a master. Sitting on a full acre, and well-protected by Class 1 Conservation Easement, Fern Cottage feeds into the much sought-after Poolesville High School magnet district, idyllic Monocacy Elementary School, (which sits in the shadow of Sugarloaf Mountain,) and a mere 2 miles from the much exclusive private Barnesville School. Despite all the privacy and natural surroundings, the MARC is a mere 2-minute drive (1.2-miles) away, making commuting to the nation’s capital staggeringly easy. The house boasts a new standing seam steel roof on the cottage itself, a new shingle roof on the matching shed, and brand new air conditioning unit. Renewal by Anderson Windows throughout most of the house. And one of its most wonderful features is a hidden covered patio garden with a hand built single-sized bed swing. With a ceiling fan above you, you will always have a cool breeze as you nap in the shade surrounded by sweet honeysuckle, clematis, daylilies and a succulent strawberry patch for easy treats. Make this truly charming home where the air is sweet, the quiet nighttime skies are dark and filled with fireflies yours today!
