16449 Ed Warfield Rd, Woodbine, MD 21797

This culturally, historically, and architecturally significant estate, known as Oakdale, dates back to circa 1838 and 1898. Once the ancestral home of Maryland Governor Edwin Warfield, the property spans a tranquil 180-acre tract located 20 miles from both the Washington and Baltimore beltways. Listed on The National Register of Historic Places, the main house features 24 rooms and 5.1 baths within its 9,500 sq. ft. layout. Original details and craftsmanship are evident throughout, including 12-inch-thick brick walls, 12 fireplaces, and a grand front porch adorned with 18-foot Roman Doric columns. Connected to the main house by a 120-foot covered colonnade is Oakdale Hall, built in 2005, offering an additional 9 rooms and 5.1 baths across 8,870 sq. ft. of space. This hall provides a setting for entertaining or concerts, along with an adjoining 60x30 pool. The estate includes outbuildings such as the Carriage House and Gardener's Cottage residences, a brick smokehouse, a pond-side gazebo, and a tool shed. Equestrian facilities include a 3-level bank-barn stable, while farming operations are supported by an additional barn, a silo, and an equipment shed. A 2-acre spring-fed pond and several streams enhance the setting. The property includes the main 175-acre parcel, which is in Agricultural Preservation and cannot be subdivided, and a 5.8-acre lot.
