Escape to Mount Savage Farm in the Allegheny Mountains of Western MD. Relax and soak in the serenity of an 100 acre farm. The farm is a destination in itself with an indoor pool, hot tub, patio with grill and fire pit, and plenty of space to wander and watch wildlife. For ski enthusiasts, Wisp, Seven Springs and Hidden Valley ski resorts are all within driving distance. There is direct access to the GAP trail, a premier hiking/biking trail. The scenic RR also passes through the property.

The space
Relax and appreciate the serenity of a 100 acre farm overlooking the small town of Mount Savage, MD. Enjoy the scenic vistas from the top of the mountain and breathe in the fresh mountain air.

The spacious 6,000 square foot historic home was originally built in the 1820s and remodeled extensively over the years. It still has its historic charm but all the modern amenities to make you comfortable.The farm is a destination in itself with an indoor heated swimming pool, outdoor hot tub, indoor gas fireplace, outdoor brick patio with grill and gas fire pit, and plenty of space to wander, find solitude, and watch the wildlife.

There are 5 bedrooms including one family style room with a queen and trundle bed, 3 full baths, a family room and a formal living room with a baby grand piano. The kitchen has everything you need to cook and serve a large group. The dining room table seats twelve plus we have a breakfast nook in the family room, six bar stools around the kitchen island and a bar area in the pool room. The office/sunroom on the second floor offers spectacular views making it a peaceful place to work or curl up with a book.

Behind the house and up past the pond, is direct access to the Great Alleghany Passage (GAP) hike and bike trail. Situated at mile marker 11 of the 150 mile trail, there is ample opportunity to hike, bike and enjoy the scenic views on one of the premier trails of the east coast.

For railroad enthusiasts, the Western Maryland Scenic Railroad shares the GAP trail and passes through the property on its way from Cumberland, MD to Frostburg. Be sure to take a ride on the railroad and look for Mount Savage Farm as you pass by! For more adventure, do some railbiking - pedaling along the steel railroad tracks with your friends and family. (Check out the website for Tracks and Yaks for more information).

For those who like to venture, there is much to see and do within an hour driving distance of the farm. This mountainous region of western Maryland and Pennsylvania is home to ten state parks with expansive views, hiking trails, white water rafting and lakes for boating and fishing. Wisp and Seven Springs Resorts offer skiing in the winter and outdoor adventures such as zip lining and mountain coasters in the summer. Rocky Gap Casino is a short drive down the highway. There are plenty of Amish farms and businesses in the area for those who want to explore the rural lifestyle.

The Flight 93 Memorial is located 37 miles away across the Pennsylvania state line. Also in Pennsylvania, Frank Lloyd Wright’s Fallingwaters, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is just over an hour’s drive.

For dining and shopping, the quaint town of Frostburg is less than ten minutes away and has several excellent restaurants and breweries. It is home to Frostburg State University, making this an ideal get away for families coming to visit. A little further down the road is historic Cumberland, MD. This is where the GAP Trail begins and the 184 mile C&O Canal towpath trail from Washington D.C. ends.

For everyone's security, we have several cameras on the property plus a door bell camera. One camera is located on the side porch overlooking the driveway and another camera monitors the entrance by the gates. A camera up at the shed overlooks the upper driveway. We have one camera looking out the back of the house and our final camera is in the pool area.

Neighborhood highlights

This is a place to get away. It is in rural mountains of western MD. We are on a hilltop overlooking the sleepy town of Mount Savage, MD. For shopping and restaurants you will need to drive to the nearby towns of Frostburg, MD (5 miles) or Cumberland, MD (10 miles). Close enough for everything you need, yet far enough away to enjoy the serenity and seclusion.
