Space, Privacy and Room to Grow
Set on 3.62 private acres, this spacious La Plata property offers a rare blend of comfort, flexibility, and room to enjoy both inside and out.
Three bedrooms and three full baths sit together on the main level, alongside a fireplace, a walk-in closet in the primary suite, and a sunroom off the rear deck that makes another inviting place to sit and look out over the land.
Downstairs, a finished lower level adds two large recreation areas and a full bath. Outside, five garage spaces across two buildings — one of them with finished space above — give hobbyists, collectors and anyone who simply needs room a genuinely unusual amount of it. And there is no HOA.
Why Buyers Are Looking Here
Room that's genuinely hard to find — space around the house, distance from neighbors, and land you can actually use.
A two-car attached garage plus an oversized three-car detached building, with finished space above it.
All three bedrooms and all three full baths on one floor — no stairs required for daily life.
Two large recreation areas and a full bath. Media room, gym, home office, guest space — your call.
A quiet, light-filled room between the house and the yard, and one more place to spend a morning.
No association dues, no architectural review, no restrictions on the trailer, the boat or the workshop.
Room for Everything
Three and a half acres is a different kind of ownership. There's room for the workshop, the garden, the RV, the dogs — and enough distance from the road and the neighbors that the quiet is real.
The attached two-car garage handles everyday parking. The oversized three-car detached building handles everything else, with finished space above it that could serve as a private office, a studio, or a retreat that isn't in the house.
One-Floor Living
Three bedrooms and three full baths share the main floor, so the whole of daily life happens without a staircase. The primary suite includes a walk-in closet; a fireplace anchors the living area.
A sunroom opens off the rear deck — a separate, quieter room that looks out over the property and earns its keep in every season.
However You Need to Use It
Two large recreation areas and a full bath, finished and ready. Media room, game room, fitness space, home office, or somewhere for guests to have their own footing — the space doesn't dictate the answer.
Combined with the main floor and the finished space above the detached garage, it gives this property an unusual number of separate places to be.

The Setting
3.62 acres in a Rural Conservation zone — Charles County's designation for low-density residential land that preserves the rural character and natural features of the area.
The town of La Plata is the Charles County seat, with grocery, dining, medical and everyday services a short drive from the property. Confirm your own routes and timing.
US 301 runs north–south through La Plata toward Waldorf and the Capital Beltway. Commute times vary considerably by route, departure time and destination — please verify your own.
The property is served by Charles County Public Schools. Assignments depend on the exact address and are subject to change, so confirm directly with CCPS at ccboe.com rather than relying on a listing portal.
At a Glance
All figures are approximate and provided for marketing purposes. Square footage, lot dimensions, room counts, systems and improvements should be independently verified by the buyer. Information deemed reliable but not guaranteed.
Before You Ask
Correct — no homeowners association, no dues, and no architectural review. On 3.62 acres in a Rural Conservation zone, that means real latitude over what you park, build and keep on the property, within Charles County's own zoning rules. I'll send you the zoning summary on request.
The listing reflects 4,300 total square feet; Charles County's public record shows 2,296 finished above grade. The difference is the finished lower level, which public records often exclude. Appraisers typically treat above-grade and below-grade space separately, so it's worth understanding both numbers rather than one. Ask me for the floor plan.
It's an oversized three-car building separate from the house, with finished space above it reached by its own stairs. Buyers have used comparable spaces as a home office, studio, gym or guest retreat. Ask me about the dimensions, power, heat and whether the upper space is permitted as finished living area — that last one matters and I'd rather confirm than assume.
Forced-air propane heat with central air conditioning, and an electric water heater. The propane tank is owned rather than leased, which matters — leased tanks come with a contract you'd be assuming. I'll request the seller's recent utility history so you can see real figures rather than estimates.
On 3.62 acres in a Rural Conservation zone, well and septic are typical. Ask me to confirm the specifics, along with the septic type, last pump-out and any percolation records — this is a routine question on rural parcels and the answers should exist.
Ask and I'll send the seller's disclosure with dates and documentation for the roof, HVAC, water heater and well or septic components. These are the questions that decide offers, and you should have real answers before you make one.
