4043A BLUE BALL ROAD

ELKTON, MD 21921

MOTIVATED SELLERS! While boarding their horses nearby, these sellers began their own search for a horse property. The criteria seemed simple enough—a one-story home with 5 to 7 acres within a 5-to- 7 mile radius of Fair Hill Natural Resources ManagementArea. It took almost two years to accomplish their goal, and both enthusiastically agree it was worth the time and effort! Their dream became reality while touring this Blue Ball Rd farmette in person. It consisted of a lovely one-floor living home situated on a horse—& people—friendly flat, cleared, 4.85 acre parcel. Not only did they foresee great potential in designing and positioning the barn, fencing, backyard, water, electric, pastures, gates, and hay storage—it was complete with beautiful views from the top of a hill. There is even additional area left to expand the fencing should more pasture be needed! The result—these folks kept four horses on the property very comfortably! The Amish built shed-row barn faces south and has an 8’ overhang providing necessary shade without the need for additional run-in sheds in the pastures--unlike a center aisle barn, requiring turn outs. Each stall and end walls have windows for ventilation. There is a water hydrant for easy bathing, filling water buckets, and cleaning up. Each 12’ x 12’ stall is matted and has access to electric. Stalls are well-lit with caged lights inside and out. Light fixtures on the back of the house illuminate your way to safely travel between the barn and house. A Bar-Bar-A frost-free automatic waterer is right in the dry paddock area, too. You may even enjoy waking up and seeing your horses before you get out of bed in the morning just as these sellers did! It goes without saying that the 5600+ acre Fair Hill NRMA is the premiere horseback riding venue for people who love riding and being in nature with their horses. Riding its 80+ miles of clearly marked and well-groomed trails and meadows is a trail rider’sparadise. Just go and enjoy its amazing views, sounds, and smells! Babbling brooks and the Big Elk Creek provide ample water for horses. There is a campground, multiple parking locations, and bathroom facilities in the park.These sellers actually trained two very young horses at Fair Hill with the help of their older horses who showed them the ropes! They learned how to cross the creek via steel bridges, a wooden covered bridge, and in the water. Along with pedestrians and bicyclists, they learned how to pass horses respectfully on trails, too. Please come and visit soon!
