9030 Sharpsburg Pike, Fairplay, MD 21733

A historic Tidewater mansion, built in 1803 and located in Washington County, MD, is now offered for sale—complete with a well-established and thriving wedding and event business, featuring confirmed bookings through 2027 and a seasoned, knowledgeable staff.

The estate encompasses 29.41 acres in total (25.5 acres plus an additional 3.91-acre parcel). The Manor House, spanning more than 10,000 sq. ft., includes 6 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, 8 fireplaces, and extensive modern upgrades such as central A/C, a remodeled kitchen, renovated baths, and a 3,000-bottle wine cellar.

Rich in history and located just over an hour from Washington, D.C., the property also offers strong potential for expanded rental income.

The estate operates as a fully turn-key event venue, complete with dedicated infrastructure: a 70’ x 40’ clear-top, enclosable permanent Aztec tent; three private get-ready rooms; new ADA-compliant restrooms supported by a newly installed septic system; and generous catering prep and storage facilities. In 2025, an expansive brick-and-stone patio was added, alongside significant landscaping and hardscaping enhancements.

A signature feature of the property is its 5,000-sq.-ft. dual-level Bank Barn— the largest in Washington County—offered with full architectural floor plans and site plans for future renovation. The estate also includes an additional dual-level horse barn, currently used for storage but well-suited for future equestrian use. Capacity for 16 stalls, 7 equipped stalls, fenced pastures, a 3-bay shop, and a hot/cold wash stall. Additional facilities include a wood and metal shop, a garden shop, a heated tool shop, a newly constructed equipment storage building, and a four-vehicle cart port.

All prospective buyers must provide proof of funds and a lender letter before touring the property or reviewing business financials.
