About This Home
Set on 12.9 private acres along Ballards Ridge Road in Wakefield, this 1820 Cape farmhouse delivers history, land, and genuine opportunity in one of Carroll County's most scenic corridors. Wide hardwood floors and over 200 years of craftsmanship set the tone throughout. The layout places a first-floor bedroom and full bathroom at grade for single-level convenience, with two additional bedrooms on the upper level and 2,785 square feet of character-rich living space that has endured for generations. From the property, sweeping mountain views stretch across the horizon and greet you every morning. Open land unfolds across all 12.9 acres, offering the kind of privacy and breathing room that has become increasingly hard to find at this price point in the Lakes Region. The opportunity extends well beyond the home itself. The parcel has the potential to be subdivided, making it a compelling choice for buyers looking to develop additional lots from the existing acreage. Whether your vision is a private retreat, a multigenerational homestead, a country escape, or a long-term land investment, this property delivers. Showings to begin Sat 10/3 at the open house from 11am-1pm
