Ideal family retreat, rental property, or hunting and fishing lodge - frontage on trout stream - open the windows and listen to the sound of water flowing over the rocks.
The property, called Laurel Brook, is located at 309 Hoyes Run Road, McHenry/Oakland, Maryland, 21541 in the Deep Creek Lake area of Garrett County, often referred to as Maryland’s best kept secret.
· The property consists of two and half acres with a four bedroom cottage situated alongside a stream known as Hoyes Run with approximately 350 yards of stream frontage. Hoyes Run is a Tier II Trout Stream and you can literally cast off the back deck.
· The cottage and outbuildings are above the flood plain so FEMA flood insurance is not required.
· A unique aspect of the property is that it is located in a very private setting that is bordered on the east by over 550 acres of woodland owned by Garrett County and leased to Adventure Sports, which maintains the hiking and mountain biking trails, including rock climbing areas. Fork Run, another trout stream, flows through this area and joins Hoyes Run near the entrance to the property. The north and west sides of the property consist of woodland. Streams and Dreams Bed and Breakfast and Trout fishing is located on the south side. Essentially, the area is isolated from any development making it an ideal location to really get away from it all-yet you are less than 10 minutes from the village of McHenry with all it amenities and Garrett College.
· From the cottage it’s a short hike along the trail bordering Hoyes Run to the Youghiogheny River with public access to fishing and kayaking or rafting.
· The property is located behind Marsh Mountain (or WISP Ski Resort) and is less than 10 minutes from the Village of McHenry with its supermarket, gas stations, hardware store, restaurants, Garrett College, local fire department and paramedic unit, etc; and all the recreational activities associated with Deep Creek Lake-yet the cottage sits in a very private and peaceful setting.
· Located within 10 to 15 minutes from the cottage are three excellent golf courses, a world class man-made raft and kayak course for public use and where Olympians train, and one of the best ski resorts on the east coast.
· The area is teeming with wildlife and there is a rifle/pistol range on the property.
· The 350 yards of stream frontage consists of a nature trail with benches and a gazebo and a foot bridge for crossing the stream and hiking down to the river.
