38335 Collins Rd

Don’t miss your chance to own a combined 19.44 acres of beautiful, wooded land in the peaceful and picturesque 7th District. This sale includes two separate parcels: a 14.24-acre main lot located at the end of a private dead-end road on Collins Rd, and a 5.2-acre buffer lot (Outparcel A) on Olen Mattingly Rd. Together, these parcels offer privacy, potential, and the perfect setting for your dream retreat or future homesite. The main parcel features a dilapidated home and an original tobacco barn—full of rustic charm and history. The existing structure has been certified as asbestos free and may help reduce or eliminate building impact fees, offering additional value to future development. With mature trees and a tranquil setting, this land is ideal for someone looking to build a private residence while enjoying the rural beauty of Southern Maryland. Both parcels are currently enrolled in the Forestry Management Program (FMP), providing significant agricultural tax savings. If the new owner wishes to remove the land from the FMP, a recapture fee would apply. One TDR (Transferable Development Right) encumbers each parcel—Outparcel A is not buildable, but the buyer could obtain a building permit for potentially a pole barn or similar. The main lot still holds potential for one, possibly two building sites, subject to verification with the county. Percolation test applications were submitted in 2004 and are referenced on the recorded plat, but there are currently no active perc's in place. No well or septic system has been installed. A mound system would be needed. Electric can be tied into a near my electric pole. A slab and movable structure on wheels would be okay without voiding the conservation plan in place. All development and zoning details should be confirmed by the buyer with St. Mary’s County. Located just a short drive to Pax River NAS, Lexington Park, and Leonardtown, this location offers convenience without sacrificing peace and privacy. The 7th District is experiencing a quiet resurgence, with new local businesses and updates planned for the nearby St. Clement’s Island Museum—making this an ideal time to invest in this historic and charming area.
