RARE! 9.9 idyllic, sprawling acres featuring the grand Fairview Manor House built in 1790 and home of Oden Bowie the 34th governor of Maryland. The Greek Revival manor house sited majestically above expansive, park-like front lawn acres and at its rear, acres of undeveloped residential land adjacent to the desirable, thriving mixed-use community of Fairwood.
The Fairview Manor house boasts soaring 12-foot ceilings, masonry walls, long leaf heart pine floors, eight fireplaces surrounded by ornate King of Prussia marble (now extinct) mantels, original solid wood doors, and detailed architectural mill work.
A restoration/renovation paused in 2019 awaits new stewardship to bring this palatial manor estate to glory. Options abound to revive Fairview Manor as a monumental private estate or consider housing subdivision development, winery/vineyard, equestrian park, private club, small banquet event venue, cultural and educational center... Buyer responsible for exploring current zoning uses and potential subdivision development uses. No sign. Showings by appointment only. Do not enter onto the property unescorted by listing agent.
