About this property
ONLINE AUCTION: Bidding begins 10/30/2026 @ 10:00 AM. Bidding ends 11/03/2026 @ 12:50 PM. List Price is Suggested Opening Bid. Deposit: $15,000 List Price is Suggested Opening Bid. Deposit: $15,000 Discover 8.15 acres on Peach Tree Road in Dickerson, surrounded by the rolling farmland, wooded landscapes, and open countryside that define western Montgomery County. The property is currently identified as vacant land with agricultural use and sits in the county's Agricultural Reserve (AR) zone, offering a rare opportunity to own substantial acreage in an area intentionally protected from dense development. Nearby farms, orchards, and country properties create a peaceful setting where the landscape feels far removed from the pace of the Washington, D.C. suburbs. The location puts you close to some of western Montgomery County's most recognizable destinations. Kingsbury's Orchard is immediately nearby, while Sugarloaf Mountain and its hiking trails are roughly 7-10 miles away. Poolesville is approximately 4 miles away, Dickerson is about 6 miles, and Frederick is roughly 20 miles. Washington, D.C. is approximately 40-45 miles away, while the Dickerson MARC station is about 6 miles from the property, providing rail access toward Washington. What makes this property particularly interesting is the long-term planning behind the area. Montgomery County's 93,000-acre Agricultural Reserve was created to preserve farmland, open space, and rural communities such as Dickerson and Poolesville. County planning continues to emphasize agriculture and rural preservation rather than dense suburban expansion. The AR zoning framework generally limits residential development to one dwelling unit per 25 acres, although individual lots can be smaller under specific circumstances. For the right buyer, this is less about conventional subdivision potential and more about owning a unique piece of protected Montgomery County countryside. The property is listed as AR-zoned, so buyers should independently verify development rights, subdivision history, agricultural restrictions, easements, well and septic feasibility, access, and any conservation or development-rights encumbrances before purchasing. With its acreage, rural surroundings, and proximity to the D.C. region, it offers the feeling of having space to breathe without giving up access to major metropolitan amenities.

Buyer checklist
Questions worth investigating for any farm or ranch purchase. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.
- Legal accessIs there deeded or recorded access to a public road, and are there easements across the land (or that the land relies on)?
- Water rights and wellsA well, pond, creek or irrigation system does not by itself establish a legal right to use the water. Ask for the water right, permit or registration documents and test the well.
- Leases and tenanciesAre there farm, grazing, hunting, CRP, oil and gas or wind leases? Some survive a sale or require notice before they end.
- Soil and usable landHow many acres can actually be cropped or grazed? Check the NRCS soil survey and get a current lab soil test for the use you plan.
- RestrictionsZoning, conservation easements, deed restrictions, HOA rules, floodplain and wetland rules can limit what you can do.
- Building conditionBarns, fences, wells and septic systems need inspection; a listed building may not suit a commercial or livestock use.
- UtilitiesPower, water, septic capacity, internet and road maintenance: who provides them and at what cost.
- What is included in the saleEquipment, growing crops, stored hay, livestock, irrigation equipment, permits and farm program contracts are often separate. Get it in writing.
