13717 Martin Rd Brandywine, MD 20613

Listing details for 13717 Martin Rd, Brandywine, MD 20613 : There is a particular kind of freedom that comes with land. Not just the acreage, but what it represents: space to breathe, room to build something lasting, and the privacy to live entirely on your own terms. This is that place. Set on 14.18 acres across two parcels in the quietly established agricultural corridor of Brandywine, Maryland, this four-bedroom, three-and-a-half-bath residence is as refined as it is rooted, with over 2,900 square feet of updated interior space and an agricultural infrastructure that rivals working farms many times its size. Freshly clad in James Hardie board and batten cement fiber siding with all new gutters, downspouts, and exterior lighting, the home presents with a clean, enduring confidence. A new solid double entry door opens onto brushed marble, with wide plank maple hardwood running through the main living and dining areas and into three of the four bedrooms. New solid shaker doors, premium wide trim, and recessed smart lighting speak to the detail that defined the owners' renovation. The kitchen earns its place as the heart of this home. Custom cabinetry, quartz countertops, a fired clay farmhouse sink with a Kohler touch-less faucet, live edge shelving, tile backsplash, under-cabinet lighting, and a dedicated beverage station with wine fridge. Brushed marble floors carry through from the entry. It is a kitchen built for the kind of cooking and hosting that happens when people love where they live. The primary suite has been equally transformed, its renovated bath finished with hexagonal marble tile floors, a new double vanity, and a large-format curb-less shower with a Kohler multi-spray system. The remaining bedrooms are well-proportioned, each with new ceiling fans and solid shaker doors. The infrastructure is as considered as the finishes. Dual HVAC systems and dual water heaters serve the original home and the addition independently. Two laundry setups, a whole-home water softening system installed in 2026, new Ecobee thermostats, updated smoke detectors, an interior fire sprinkler system with fifteen heads replaced and inspected in 2023, and a septic pumped and cleaned in March 2024 complete a home that has been methodically maintained. The basement adds flexible space. Outside, the residence opens into something genuinely uncommon. The centerpiece is a 40-by-30-foot barn with three permanent bays and installed gates that create up to nine sections. Wired with overhead lighting, sliding doors wide enough for a utility tractor, and a dedicated tack room and office, it is built for daily use and configurable for cattle, sheep, goats, or horses. It opens on either end to fenced and gated paddocks, with watering points in and adjacent to every pasture and an electric perimeter fence around both parcels. Nine separate paddocks, pens, and fields make managing livestock straightforward. Supporting it all: a 30-by-40-foot heated workshop and garage on a poured pad with a doublewide door, pellet stove, compressed air lines, and a half bath; a three-bay hay and tractor shed; two powered 40-foot containers, one insulated for equipment and one converted into a grain bin with side auger loading; a secure chicken coop for 30 or more birds with a predator-resistant run; hog and small animal housing with automated watering; and four field run-in sheds. A gazebo with a hot tub offers a dedicated outdoor retreat, and a natural stream winds through the partially wooded acreage. Beyond the property line, Patuxent River Park and Merkle Wildlife Sanctuary offer hiking, biking, and riding trails plus river access and boat launches, with Mt. Calvert Historical and Archaeological Park nearby. A genuinely renovated home on agriculturally zoned land with working infrastructure ready from day one, within reach of Washington, DC. This is the kind of place that takes years to find and generations to fully appreciate.
