Description

Snyder’s Hollow Estate c.1920
Snyder’s Hollow Estate is an exquisitely restored country home on 26 park-like acres close to golf courses, skiing & Gettysburg Battlefields. The property is 2 miles from the historic Monterey Country Club, directly on the 1863 Civil War Retreat path, and abuts Michaux State Forest.  It features a stocked spring-fed fish pond, a professional 100 yard rifle range, and a “pristine” deer stand facing into Michaux State Forest.  “The Camp” is best described as a first class retreat property. It was previously owned by a prominent local industrialist as his hunting base for international customers. The property is ultra private, centered within 26 acres of mature forest, and truly special.

A private setting with fenced paddock and an abundance of wildlife and natural beauty, this is an extraordinary property for horse riding, hiking and retreat activities of all kinds. Featuring a large patio with fireplace-“smoker” combination and an adjacent enclosed 4 season heated porch for indoor/outdoor living, 4 spacious bedrooms (2 master suites), a cozy family room fireplace and tremendous charm, this is a home of rare and beautiful distinction, nestled in beautiful South Mountain (part of the Appalachian Mountains) close to Washington, DC & Baltimore, yet a world away.

ABOUT SNYDER’S HOLLOW ESTATE

This is a private home located near Gettysburg Battlefield and Ski Liberty, approximately 1.5 hours from Washington, DC and Baltimore. The property consists of nearly 26 acres and adjoins the 85,500 acres of veritable wilderness in Michaux State Forest. It is located in historic Snyder’s Hollow and was remodeled by a renowned industrialist as a personal  woodland retreat in the 1980’s. A second extensive renovation was completed in 2009. The decor throughout the home is “upscale camp” and showcases beautiful naturescapes from every window.
