About this property

Near Whitetail, Berkeley Springs, Mercersburg, Hagerstown, Antietam, Frederick

  • The Gordon Homestead, circa 1790, includes a fully renovated family home, updated with modern conveniences while maintaining a little old world charm. This is the perfect place to get away from it all on over 200 acres nestled in a relaxed country setting yet less than 15 minutes from historic sites, shops and restaurants. We hope that your family will fall in love with this property and make memories that are as special as those my family has enjoyed over the years.

    ----------------------------------
    If you'd like more details on the property, read on:

    The home was originally built in the early 1800s and now sleeps 10. Room 1 includes a queen-size bed and access to the upstairs balcony. Room 2 includes a full-size bed and access to the upstairs balcony. Room 3 includes a full size bed. Room 4 includes a full-size futon and a reading nook. Room 5 includes a full-size bed and an office area. A large full size bath is upstairs and a 3/4 bath is downstairs. The kitchen is fully stocked to accommodate large groups in the adjoining dining room. The front porch includes an outdoor dining set that can seat 4 or extend to seat 10.

    The 3/4 mile of Licking Creek stream front on the farm is perfect for fishing, kayaking, or even swimming. Seated at the base of Dickey's Mountain, this is perfect for hiking, and with access to the over 5000 acres of State Game Land #124, this is a hunting paradise.

    The covered porch and upstairs balcony make a perfect place to enjoy a meal or a relaxing moment in a rocking chair. The front porch is ideal for enjoying a morning cup of coffee or an outdoor meal. The upstairs balcony is an excellent place to enjoy the stars. The outdoor fire pit is the ideal place to enjoy an amazing sunset and transition to an evening of s'mores by a fire or retreat inside to shoot a game of pool or play a board or card game.

    This is a quiet country setting. Every star in the sky can be viewed with no interfering lights to block the visibility. The endless amounts of wildlife not only include deer, turkey, fox, squirrel, rabbits, turtles and many varieties of birds, but also bears, bald eagles, and porcupine. You can enjoy the peaceful sunrises from the front porch or balcony. Enjoy the amazing sunsets from the backyard firepit.

    Please note that some elements of nature are unavoidable in the country. Despite the fact that we contract regular exterminator services for our home, you may encounter an occasional insect indoors, and the outdoors are beyond our control.
