Unrivaled privacy meets exceptional strategic value with this premier 10.6-acre wooded tract in historic Port Tobacco. This expansive acreage is zoned Rural Conservation (RC), making it a ideal canvas for buyers envisioning a private custom estate, a secluded compound, or a long-term land investment footprint in Charles County. An additional adjoining 3 acres is available for purchase (MLS: MDCH2056558).
A standout feature of this property is its verified building potential. In 2018, three percs were officially recorded, providing essential peace of mind and significantly accelerating the timeline for your custom construction plans.
A portion of this land is currently protected under a permanent Forest Conservation Easement. Far from a limitation, this easement provides immediate and lasting advantages to the future property owner. It guarantees that a significant section of your land will remain a beautifully preserved, mature wooded sanctuary, establishing a permanent natural privacy buffer that can never be cleared by future neighbors. This environmental protection also ensures an abundance of local wildlife, preserves pristine air and water quality, and shields the property from local soil erosion. Furthermore, land encumbered by a conservation easement qualifies for favorable local tax assessments, lowering your ongoing holding costs while maintaining a peaceful, deep-green canopy backdrop for your new home.
While the property delivers a profound sense of absolute wilderness and quiet isolation, it keeps you closely tied to major regional hubs and commuter infrastructure. The property is situated just about 7 miles from the bustling commercial and shopping corridors of Crain Highway (MD-301) in La Plata, and approximately 10 miles from Indian Head Highway (MD-210), providing a straightforward, reliable commute directly into the Washington D.C. metropolitan area, local military installations, and regional employment centers.
Whether you are a custom home builder looking for a high-end lot with established utility potential, or an individual searching for a quiet acreage sanctuary to secure your family legacy, 8710 Poorhouse Road delivers space, natural beauty, and a highly accessible location. Complete perc mapping and detailed easement boundary documentation are available under the listing documents.
