Previous Description:
Rare 4.93-Acre Opportunity in Historic Sandy Spring!
Discover an exceptional opportunity to own a sprawling 4.93-acre lot in the heart of Sandy Spring, offering privacy, natural beauty, and a prime location just minutes from top-rated schools, scenic parks, the Olney Theatre, local shops, and restaurants.
This remarkable property was formerly home to the historic Hopkins House, a mid-19th-century multigenerational residence that incorporated an even earlier log dwelling built by free Black settlers in the mid-1800s. The original structure represented one of the last surviving log homes constructed by early Black settlers along Brooke Road and was occupied by generations of the Waters and Howard-Hopkins families for more than 137 years.
While the historic dwelling was removed in 2023, the land remains a meaningful piece of Sandy Spring’s heritage, offering a unique opportunity to build a new home while honoring the deep cultural history of the property and the surrounding community.
With nearly five acres of land, the property provides ample space for a custom estate, private retreat, or thoughtfully designed residence surrounded by mature trees and the tranquil character that defines Sandy Spring.
A rare blend of history, location, and acreage—this property presents a truly special opportunity in one of Montgomery County’s most sought-after communities.
