About 8812 Yellow Springs Rd
Welcome home to one of Frederick County's finest luxury estates. This property amazes with the quality of craftsmanship, spectacular layout, and attention to detail.
This property has a storied history, as it was the founding parcel of Yankeeland Farms, one of the most famous Standardbred horse farms and successful breeding operations in the history of the sport. Nestled just west of Frederick in the village of Yellow Springs, the property offers both pastoral and mountain views.
The estate offers tremendous flexibility with a self-contained lower-level suite featuring a separate entrance, in addition to a separate guest house with its own driveway. With multiple living spaces, private entrances, and areas for entertaining, the property offers a variety of possibilities to fit a wide range of needs. The main home and guest house feature a mix of farmhouse and Craftsman-style exteriors with heavy stone accents.
The main level has gorgeous random-width, satin-finished hardwood floors. The gourmet kitchen features quartz countertops, a porcelain farmhouse sink, ceramic backsplash, newer appliances, beautifully detailed custom cabinetry, and a huge island. The kitchen also features a custom atrium window offering amazing pastoral views. The butler's pantry provides additional cabinetry, a wall oven, and a new refrigerator.
The oversized main-level laundry room provides additional flexibility, with enough space to also be used as an office or bonus room. The open-concept floor plan flows seamlessly into the two-story family room featuring a gas fireplace and skylights. Tucked away off the kitchen is a cozy sunroom with amazing mountain views.
The main level also boasts an open dining area with a tray ceiling and a sitting room with custom built-in bookshelves and cabinetry.
