4600 Fairview Vista Drive, BOWIE, MD 20720 (MLS # MDPG2180108)
|
The historic Fairview Manor Estate offers a rare opportunity to own a distinguished piece of Maryland's heritage on ≈ 6 acres of park-like grounds. Originally part of the ≈ 1,000-acre Fairview Plantation, this storied property was home to generations of the Bowie-Duckett-Oden family, among the most prominent in Maryland's early economic, political, and social history. Fairview's history reflects both the accomplishments and injustices of Maryland's early years. The estate stands today as a reminder of that complex past and an opportunity for thoughtful stewardship that honors its full legacy while restoring one of the state's most significant historic properties. Built circa 1790 in a transitional Federal/Greek Revival style, the manor house displays enduring architectural integrity"”masonry walls, original long-leaf heart-pine floors, soaring 12-foot ceilings, ten fireplaces, carved marble mantels, and handcrafted millwork. Gracefully sited on a terraced hilltop overlooking acres of an expansive south facing front lawn, the estate combines privacy, proportion, and presence. The property is adjacent to the vibrant and thriving Fairwood community but not a part of its HOA. A full restoration has paused - the property to be sold "as is". The property is eligible for public historic preservation grants, offering financial support for restoration. Fairview now awaits a discerning new steward to restore and reimagine this landmark estate for generations to come. The original 10-acre estate has been subdivided into two separate lots (Lot 1: ≈ 6 acres; Lot 2: ≈ 4 acres). The new plat is recorded in PGC land records Plat Book ME 270 as Plat # 81. This listing is for Lot 1 only which includes the Fairview Manor House and outbuildings. Private property - no trespassing on any part of property.
