- The Holly and the Ivy is one of Maryland’s most exceptional properties. A soulful architectural tribute to the romantic era of the 18th century on 17.62 acres of epic vistas, meandering stone pathways, lush woodlands, all wrapped by the Patuxent River.
Old world craftsmanship and authentic historical details evoke the essence of Colonial American life. Ambiance abounds. Black and white checkerboard painted wood floors greet you as you enter.
Rugged, rough-hewn beams enliven the rustic Keeping Room “tavern” while custom millwork, brass sconces and chandeliers create an elegant sense of old historic gravitas in the formal living room. The fireplaces in both are massive – one is 5' x 6'.
Custom built by a builder/owner in the late 1960s using authentic Williamsburg designs and centuries-old techniques and materials. Only two owners. Cedar clapboard sides and cedar shake roofs (new roofs on fronts of house and barn).
The original main house features 4 spacious high-ceilinged rooms: Living Room, Keeping Room and 2 Bedrooms above. The DR addition includes a second story with a small BR/Home office and grand spa bath above it The kitchen addition is one level. All rooms use post and beam construction and have wide plank cherry floors. The extensive woodwork is painted in early American colors.

The Guest Cottage is a 1 BR apartment retreat in the woods with full kitchen and bath. All have washer/dryers. The 2-car open front garage (with historic cupola) and the main floor of the barn both have tool storage/working areas.
Scenic panoramas out every window. Stare out over the cliffs at the kitchen sink. Fenced backyard for dogs to run in and out. A formerly active koi pond is ready to be revived.
