Wow House: Bellevue Plantation House with Outbuildings, 250-Year-Old Tree, for Sale

ACCOKEEK, MD — Belluvue isn't the stereotypical movie style plantation, but the 176-year-old house on the remains of a colonial tobacco location is an historic example of the plantation style, say experts.

The double-parlor plantation house, with two free-standing brick chimneys, an ancient 250-year-old tree on the grounds, an outbuilding and modern kitchen wing is on the Prince George's County real estate market. The property includes 2½ acres of woods along the Mattawoman Creek, plus three outbuildings — a guesthouse, an orangery and an office — were added. The four-bedroom, three-bathroom, 2,759-square-foot main house retains its Greek revival interior details.

This week’s “Wow House” is located at 315 Farmhouse Road in Accokeek. The Tidewater-style four-story home has 5 bedrooms, 5 full bathrooms, and 2,759 square feet.

The asking price for this home is $649,000.

Here’s the Realtor’s description of the property fromRealtor.com:

An earlier home was built on the site of the present house, but it was destroyed in the early 19th century, according to the Washington Post. John H. Hardisty purchased the property in 1839 and built the structure, then sold it to others. The property has changed hands many times over the years, until the current owners, who have owned Bellevue for nearly 40 years.
