BRING YOUR HORSES HOME TO THIS PRIVATE EQUESTRIAN OASIS IN SYKESVILLE, HOWARD COUNTY! Nestled on 6.21 park-like acres in the highly sought-after Marriott’s Ridge School District, this exceptional property offers a rare blend of privacy, convenience, and equestrian potential — including PERMANENT DEEDED ACCESS TO THE PATAPSCO STATE PARK TRAIL SYSTEM, perfect for endless riding adventures. Equestrians will appreciate the CENTER-AISLE 3-STALL BARN, complete with electric, a tack room, and grooming/wash stall with potential for hot & cold water (currently disconnected). There is also a finished office space with water, heat and A/C for countless ideas including a home-based business, lounge or guest area. Turnout options include a large, wood-fenced pasture with a small pond, plus two additional paddocks directly off the barn. (Please note: The property has not housed horses in over 10 years; fencing will require repair and replacement to bring it back to full function.) The CUSTOM-BUILT 3-BEDROOM, 2.5-BATH COLONIAL HOME is a showpiece of craftsmanship and character. Highlights include classic hardwood floors, stately moldings, three fireplaces (wood and pellet), and a SPECTACULAR SOLARIUM with stone accents and an 11-foot tray ceiling — perfect for year-round enjoyment and natural light. The eat-in kitchen features hickory cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, a butler’s pantry, and direct access to the mudroom and oversized 2-car garage. Upstairs, the spacious owner’s suite offers a walk-in closet, sitting area, and en suite bath with a separate claw-foot soaking tub. Two additional bedrooms and another full bath complete the second floor. In the FULLY-FINISHED WALKOUT BASEMENT, you’ll find a cozy family room with built-ins, a laundry area, and storage. Outdoors, enjoy your private retreat with a fenced backyard, an expansive wood and vinyl deck, and a SPARKLING IN-GROUND SALTWATER POOL, perfect for summer relaxation or entertaining. Whether you're looking for the equestrian lifestyle, a private escape, or a unique opportunity to enjoy privacy just minutes from modern conveniences, this one-of-a-kind property delivers.
