Property Description

Welcome to a truly one of a kind custom home nestled on over 7 private wooded acres in sought-after Sykesville. 🌲🦌 Located at 1720 Charles Ray Acres Drive, this extraordinary estate blends timeless craftsmanship, rich history, and modern comfort across more than 7,200 finished square feet with 6 bedrooms, 4 full baths, multiple garages, resort-style outdoor amenities, and incredible entertaining spaces.

From the moment you arrive via the private half-mile paved circular driveway, you'll appreciate the attention to detail and character throughout. The home showcases authentic log construction, soaring vaulted and beamed ceilings, oversized Andersen 700 Series picture windows, and stunning architectural elements sourced from historic properties. The stained-glass window in the front room was salvaged from a Pennsylvania church dating back to the 1850s, while the clawfoot tub in the primary suite carries its own historic story and has been beautifully restored with solid brass fixtures.

The heart of the home is designed for gathering and entertaining. The family room features a full masonry oversized fireplace complete with a brick oven, while the main fireplace includes a Hampton wood-burning insert capable of heating the home through radiant heat. Custom Amish crafted features are found throughout, including the entertainment center milled from trees harvested directly from the property, handmade vanities, black walnut cabinetry in the butler's pantry, custom live-edge mirrors, and built-in closet systems.

The gourmet kitchen is equipped with commercial grade appliances including a Wolf oven, Thermador hood, double refrigerator, Maytag stainless dishwasher, reverse osmosis water system, oversized island, and handcrafted live edge serving station. The adjacent butler's pantry provides additional prep space, power, and custom cabinetry.

The luxurious primary suite offers a spa-like bath with slate flooring, a restored clawfoot tub, custom Amish-built double vanity, walk-in shower with Schluter system, built-in gun safe, and handcrafted spiral staircase designed by a blacksmith using wood milled from the property. Additional bedrooms include newly carpeted main-level rooms and a renovated loft suite with private bath completed in 2023.

The fully finished walkout lower level provides exceptional additional living and entertaining space featuring a custom bar area 🍻, spacious family room, recreation room, additional bedroom and full bath, plus French doors leading directly to the outdoor entertaining areas.

For the outdoor enthusiast and hunter alike, this property is truly unmatched. 🦌🌲 The private wooded acreage offers exceptional seclusion, established walking trails, a hunting blind/tree stand, abundant wildlife, and the peaceful setting every nature lover dreams of. Whether you enjoy hunting, hiking, ATV riding, target practice, or simply relaxing surrounded by nature, this property delivers the ultimate outdoor lifestyle retreat.

Outside, the property continues to impress with expansive covered porches, beautifully landscaped grounds, walking paths, firepit area 🔥, above-ground pool with electric 🏊, hot tub retreat ♨️, detached 40x30 shop with new lean-to addition, oversized attached garage, detached multi-bay garage space, and abundant parking for guests, hobbies, recreational vehicles, or business needs.
