7190 Mink Hollow Road, Highland, MD 20777

Property Description

Tucked beyond a winding, tree-lined approach on 3+ private acres in the heart of Highland, this reimagined rustic-modern estate delivers the kind of lifestyle rarely available at this price point—complete privacy, refined updates, and seamless access to the region's most desirable corridors, all within the coveted River Hill High School district. The arrival is intentional. A long, canopy-covered driveway sets a tone of quiet luxury, opening to a landscape rich with mature dogwoods, Oklahoma Redbud, azaleas, and seasonal bursts of forsythia. Thoughtfully layered greenery and ground cover create a curated, estate-like setting that evolves beautifully throughout the year. With a southeast-facing orientation, the home is filled with natural morning light—bringing warmth and energy into the living spaces from the start of each day. Inside, the home has been elevated with a designer's eye and a focus on livability. The fully renovated kitchen anchors the main level, featuring distinctive quartzite countertops, a statement island designed for gathering, stainless steel Energy Star appliances, and a deep farmhouse sink that blends form and function. A dedicated coffee bar, walk-in pantry, and secondary storage pantry provide both style and everyday practicality, while a side-entry access point makes daily routines effortless. Shiplap ceilings introduce texture and architectural interest across the main level, complementing the home's balance of rustic character and modern finish. The living area is centered around a wood-burning stove—creating a warm, grounded space ideal for both quiet evenings and entertaining. Upstairs, the owner's suite offers a true retreat, complete with dual walk-in closets and a sense of privacy that feels removed from the rest of the home. Renovated bathrooms throughout reflect clean, intentional design and quality craftsmanship. A newly installed ventless SMART washer/dryer combo on the bedroom level adds a level of modern convenience rarely seen in homes of this style. New carpet and fresh paint throughout complete the interior refresh, creating a move-in ready experience that feels both current and cohesive. The finished lower level expands the home's versatility with a private loft bedroom suite with walk-in closet—perfect for guests, multigenerational living, or a secluded office environment. The property also carries ADU potential under Howard County's newly effective CB 3-2026 (April 2026), opening the door to an attached or detached accessory dwelling unit for rental income, an in-law suite, or expanded multigenerational use. Due diligence to confirm eligibility is the responsibility of the buyer and buyer's agent with Howard County Planning & Zoning. Outdoor living is equally compelling. A full-length, expansive deck extends the living space into nature, creating an ideal setting for entertaining or unwinding while overlooking the surrounding landscape. Wildlife, including deer and wild turkeys, regularly pass through—offering a daily connection to the natural environment that defines this property. Additional features include a two-car garage with covered access, generous front parking, and a large shed with a drive-in ramp—ideal for storage, workshop use, or future customization. A brand-new water heater with instant hot water and expansion tank enhances efficiency and day-to-day comfort. Positioned just minutes from MD-32 and MD-108, with convenient access to Washington, D.C., Baltimore, and Annapolis, this home offers a rare alignment of privacy, land, and connectivity—an increasingly scarce combination in today's market. Properties that deliver this level of design, acreage, and lifestyle in Highland are few and far between. Coming Soon — a refined private retreat where space, design, and intention meet.
