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. The main house, listed on The National Register of Historic Places, features 24 rooms and 5.1 baths within its over 9,500 sq. ft. space. The house showcases original detail and craftsmanship, including 12-inch-thick brick walls, 12 fireplaces, and a grand front porch adorned with 18' Roman Doric columns. Connected to the main house by a 120' covered colonnade is Oakdale Hall, built in 2005, which provides an additional 9 rooms and 5.1 baths within its 8,870 sq. ft. of space. Oakdale Hall is suitable for grand entertaining or concerts and includes a recreation facility alongside a 60x30 pool. The estate also features 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 massive 3-level bank-barn stable, while farming operations are supported by an additional barn, a silo, and an equipment shed. The grounds are enhanced by a 2-acre spring-fed pond and several streams. The property includes the main 175-acre parcel, which is in Agricultural Preservation and cannot be subdivided, and a 5.8-acre lot.
