The Setting Little Cove Farm is located near Jefferson Patterson Park and Museum, between the historic Saint Leonard Creek and Patuxent River. The farm can support most any kind of horse business, excellent hunting with abundant white-tailed deer, grayand red fox, wild turkey, and migratory birds, a full range of water activities, including crabbing, fishing, kayaking, and boating on the local quiet backwaters to the Chesapeake Bay and beyond. There are three barns: a 16 x 20 foot, two-story barn located near the residence, located near the premises entrance, a 24 x 43 foot restored tobacco barn with a heated room protecting the computer that controls the farm s Swedish variable-speed water pump. The third barn is the equitation center, nearly 22,000 square foot (one-half acre) ten-stall stables and large indoor arena. The indoor arena includes a river sand/bluestone dust footing and a 500-gallon dust control system, which removes dust in 90 seconds. A computer-operated insect control system safely keeps the stables essentially free of flies and other insects. The extensive hayloft will hold over 50 tons of hay and is designed to facilitate easy feeding. The feed room is heated. The riders lounge is heated and air conditioned. The property includes 11 buildings. With nearly 1,000 feet of waterfront -- beautiful wetlands and wooded bluffs -- the property forms a peninsula, which overlooks the location where Commodore Joshua Barney and his Chesapeake Flotilla stopped the advance of the British fleet in June, 1814. The L- shaped pier is 98 feet long and sports a power boat lift rated at 8,000 pounds, electricity (30 or 50 amp), telephone, and water. A previous owner docked his 55-foot trawler in plenty of water at this pier with a mean low water depth of 5+ feet.

The 31 Transferable Development Rights (TDRs) do not convey with the property or business. They may be purchased from the Seller directly at $3,500.00 each.
