The property is fully equipped with all utilities—power, water, and sewer—available along the 90 feet of paved frontage on Ellington Drive, making your path to building smooth and straightforward. The probable homesite lies easily outside of the floodplain, giving you a highly buildable canvas for your future home. Platted within the Austin Gardens subdivision, this lot combines a sense of established structure with the flexibility to bring your own vision to life. Whether you’re planning a primary residence or a long-term investment, the fundamentals here are strong and ready.
What truly sets this property apart is its “Goldilocks” location—nestled in a quiet, more rural-feeling setting, yet ideally situated between Washington and Baltimore, both within about a 35-minute drive. You’ll enjoy the peace and privacy of a tucked-away neighborhood while still having quick access to world-class dining, employment centers, entertainment, and culture. The area is also known for access to strong educational options, adding even more long-term appeal for homeowners and investors alike.
Priced well below market and with owner financing available, this is a rare opportunity to secure a waterfront homesite in one of the most strategically located regions in Maryland. Opportunities like this don’t come around often—grab it today at an unbeatable Acretown price!

FOR SALE BY OWNER: We are investors, and are selling this lot For Sale By Owner. You do not need to submit your offer through a real estate agent, and in our experience we close transactions more quickly and easily by having our dedicated transaction coordinator work directly with the Title Company and Buyers. We will also both save money on commission/fees by cutting out agents as the middle men. However, if you feel strongly about working with a realtor, then you’re welcome to have them contact us on your behalf. We do offer 2.5% commission to buyer agents.
WHY ARE YOU SELLING IT SO CHEAP? We are often asked why we price our properties at below market value, and the answer is really simple: because we can, and that’s our core business model. We are investors who purchase properties at a large volume and deeply liquidated rates, and by passing this discount on to our buyers, we can sell land quickly . . . and more of it! In fact, our average property only lasts 2-3 weeks on the market (vs. industry average of about 6 months).
DISCLAIMER: We attempt to provide detailed, accurate and up-to-date information in our listings, in order to help our buyers to the best of our ability. However, it ultimately remains the buyer’s responsibility to perform their own due diligence and double check any details that are of significant importance to you including acreage, utilities, buildability, and approved/allowable useage for the property. We are happy to help however we can.
Hundreds of buyers have successfully purchased land from Acretown. This simple reservation just holds the property while you review the agreement.
