This property presents a rare opportunity to own a thriving orchard and former cidery business with deep roots in Maryland’s agricultural history. With a beautifully restored historic farmhouse, expansive acreage, and robust infrastructure, this estate offers both an ideal living environment and a prime opportunity to reopen the cidery or expand into other agritourism ventures, such as a winery, food processing, brewery, distillery, or event space. The 94.47-acre farm features diverse landscapes, including:
...40 Acres of Tillable Land – Currently leased for crop production, with opportunities for farming other crops or expanding into other agricultural uses.
...35 Acres of Woodlands – Perfect for timber, conservation, or nature-based tourism.
...10 Acres of Apple Orchard – Established with disease-resistant and heritage apple varieties, many of which are specifically grown for cider production. This orchard has been supplying local and regional markets, including Mount Vernon, for years.
...8 Acres of Pasture & 2 Acres of Homestead – Ideal for livestock, agricultural expansion, or potential event spaces. Agricultural and historic easements on the property and surrounding land preserve the scenic viewshed. Historic Farmhouse (Restored) The centerpiece of the property is a beautifully restored 4,750 SF historic farmhouse, originally built in the 1840s with a rear addition around 1900. Known as the Harley Farm, the property holds historical significance tied to the Battle of Crampton’s Gap during the Civil War. It’s listed on the Maryland Historical Trust for its unique heritage. The spacious farmhouse includes:
...6-7 bedrooms, perfect for family living or B&B potential
... A cozy living room with a wood fireplace and a gas fireplace in the kitchen
... Two-zone electric heat with new energy-efficient heat pumps

... Two-zone radiator hot water heating system. Oil-fired, used as back-up.
... New slate roof
Outbuildings & Infrastructure The property is fully equipped with an array of outbuildings, perfect for farming operations, events, or business activities:
...36’x60’ Dairy Barn – A historically significant barn that may be restored and repurposed as a tasting room or event venue.
...34’x44’ Cider House – Utilized for cider production with room to expand and add new equipment. Was operated as a Maryland-licensed food processing facility. This building features an energy-efficient heating and cooling system.
...96’x44’ Storage Shed – Ideal for storage or to house additional farming equipment.
...30’x24’ Detached Garage & separate Bottling Shed – Additional facilities to support a growing business.
... Three Walk-In Coolers
The property is powered by a 25-kw solar energy system, making it an environmentally sustainable choice for modern agriculture and business ventures. Cider Business: Previously known as Distillery Lane Ciderworks, this first licensed cidery in Maryland enjoyed success producing craft ciders from its own apple orchards. The business was known for producing a variety of hard ciders, including varieties grown for George Washington’s original cider recipe, which was sold to Mount Vernon. The cidery had a winery license for retail sales and distribution, including to multiple states (MD, VA, DC), and a food processing license for cider production. Although the business ceased operations in 2024, infrastructure and a loyal customer base remain. Trademarks (including "Distillery Lane Ciderworks" and "Celebration Cider”), along with the business website and social media accounts, are included with the sale of the property. Shown by appointment only, no drive-bys please.
