Property Description
Perched on 3.79 tranquil acres, Foxden Estate is a custom-built retreat that embodies the essence of craftsmanship and natural beauty. This remarkable property is not only a home but a testament to the skill and care of its creators. From the moment you arrive, the estate's presence commands attention. Built from the finest materials, many of which were milled from the trees that once stood on the land where the house now rests, Foxden Estate feels deeply connected to the surrounding landscape. Walnut, cherry, and oak wood harvested from the property shape the heart of this home, adding unparalleled warmth and authenticity. As you enter, the rich, earthy tones of natural wood greet you in every room, creating an atmosphere of serenity and permanence. Solid wood doors, each custom-fitted with Baldwin brass hardware, lend an air of timeless elegance, while the wide-plank hardwood floors feel sturdy underfoot, a true testament to the quality of construction throughout the estate. The two wood-burning fireplaces are not just functional but central to the home’s cozy charm. One graces the formal living room, while the second in the library invites intimate gatherings around its warm glow, especially during chilly Maryland winters. The heart of the home is the kitchen, where warmth is more than a feeling—it’s tangible in the flicker of the wood stove and the soft gleam of the high-end stainless-steel appliances. Custom-built for style and function, this kitchen invites cooking and gathering, a space where family and friends can linger and enjoy the comforting ambiance. The central vac system throughout the home adds to the ease of maintaining this warm, welcoming environment. One of Foxden Estate’s most unique qualities is its masterful use of space. Thoughtfully zoned heating and cooling ensure that every corner of the home remains as comfortable as it is beautiful, while the integration of modern updates, like four new heat pumps and a Generac generator, bring peace of mind without compromising the home's historic feel. In addition, the home offers an in-law or au pair suite with a private entrance, allowing for the utmost flexibility in living arrangements without sacrificing privacy or comfort. Stepping outside, the estate’s beauty continues with manicured gardens, exterior lighting that bathes the property in a soft glow, and a pond with a graceful fountain—a peaceful focal point that can be viewed from multiple vantage points throughout the home. The estate also boasts a charming two-stall bank barn, equipped with electric and water, ideal for horses or additional storage. This carefully constructed barn is a natural extension of the home’s design, reflecting the same quality and care. The entire home exudes a sense of coziness, yet the craftsmanship elevates it beyond the ordinary. Every element, from the solid oak beams to the carefully laid brick hearths, speaks to a commitment to building not just a house but a legacy. Foxden Estate is a home that will stand the test of time, where history and nature blend seamlessly with modern comforts, offering warmth, character, and an invitation to live surrounded by beauty.

HUD Foreclosures

HUD foreclosures and VA Foreclosures are some of the best homes to buy when price is part of the equation. As with most Americans, price is always a concern. If not buying the same house for less, why not buy more house for the same dollar invested? When looking for a good deal it is hard to do better than the VA or HUD foreclosures market. The simple truth is that there are just more VA and HUD homes on the market, as they represent such a large number of mortgages that are generated each year. This translates into more foreclosures just by the magnitude of difference between all others comparing to the two largest. The two largest also being government owned and operated means that they have less time to wait to make money back on the home. The FHA is especially known for selling HUD homes for less than the average sales price in a given area. FHA foreclosures represent a fraction of HUD but they are still a significant number of homes and both should be considered. VA (Veterans Administration) and HUD (Housing and Urban Development) have different and unique opportunities for the buyer. Both are often forgiven for the local taxes normally associated with the purchase of a home (this is on a county by county basis). Be sure to ask the local title company or escrow company to look into it for you before closing as this is often missed due to their are not used to dealing with the 2 to 3 percent of the market that VA and HUD foreclosures represent.

Foreclosure Listings Increasing

As the market settled after the mortgage meltdown foreclosure listings also settled and fewer homes were on the market with a placard reading “Bank Foreclosure” in big red lettering. This was a good thing for the entire real estate market. Having an abundance of foreclosures brings the entire market down and it makes it harder for home owners, who would like to move, to get the appropriate price for their home as a similar home down the same street was sold for substantially less and the appraiser is using the foreclosure as a comparable sale. This is just one of the problems when there are too many foreclosure listings in any area. Another issue is the television set that sits in everyone’s living room harping about the price of homes based on the number of foreclosures and this constant barrage of negative information makes most people sit on the sidelines waiting for the market to either implode completely or to correct itself. Meanwhile while they wait, others are buying foreclosure listings and making great investments. Whatever the reason, a market can only handle so many foreclosure listings at any given time. The more foreclosures, the lower the market gets and this is a lesson the banks that were foreclosing and selling off realized too late. The market and their investments would have been better off if there had not been a rush to divest themselves of the toxic assets made more toxic by their own actions.
