Description
Introducing mt. pleasant, a rare and breathtaking example of transitional georgian-federal architecture, built circa 1803 by daniel hopper. perfectly poised in the pastoral landscape of ruthsburg, this stately manor farmhouse sits amidst acres of undisturbed farmland, where the views have remained virtually untouched for over 200 years—an authentic and serene chapter of eastern shore heritage.
a white crushed-stone driveway, gracefully framed by mature maple trees, guides you to the residence. the estate spans 2.70 manicured acres with lush gardens, a charming kidney-shaped pool, and an original 19th-century smokehouse, offering a timeless blend of elegance and function.
inside, grandeur and craftsmanship abound. the eye is immediately drawn to the three-story curved staircase, a sculptural centerpiece that reflects the home’s historic pedigree. every room within mt. pleasant spans the full depth of the structure, offering symmetry, flow, and exceptional natural light through beautifully restored windows. notable original features include a twin-columned federal mantel in the west parlour and multiple fireplaces throughout.
the home offers four spacious bedrooms, each adorned with unique historic elements like exposed beams and original hearths. the primary suite is a luxurious retreat with an elegant en-suite marble bathroom, oversized shower, and custom walk-in closet. a private library/office and loft space complete the suite, while a secondary stairwell connects discreetly to the kitchen and utility wing.
the recently updated gourmet kitchen is both functional and elegant with full marble countertops and full backsplash, modern appliances and effortless access to a mudroom that leads to the gardens and pool. wine enthusiasts will appreciate the fully restored, temperature-controlled wine cellar, ideal for entertaining or personal enjoyment. thoughtful upgrades include a modern hvac system, updated bathrooms, and timeless finishes throughout, carefully chosen to preserve the integrity of the home’s history while elevating it for modern living.
outdoors, mt. pleasant is an entertainer’s dream—from candlelit garden parties to relaxed afternoons by the pool. a poplar tree grown from thomas jefferson’s plantation adds a truly one-of-a-kind touch for lovers of american history.
only 5 minutes from from historic centreville, 40 minutes to annapolis, under 90 minutes from dc and baltimore and convenient distance to delaware and maryland beaches, with private and regional airports also nearby. whether you are a historic property enthusiast, a creative visionary, or simply seeking a luxurious countryside retreat, mt. pleasant invites you to own a storied piece of maryland’s legacy. showings by appointment only - please do not enter the property without agent.
