Hickory Ridge Namesake Listed For $9 Million

In the mid 1700s, Col. Henry Ridgely, one of the early colonists in Maryland, bequeathed a tract of land called Hickory Ridge to his son, according to the Maryland Historic Trust. More than 200 years later, to pay tribute to the area's heritage, developers of the new planned community of Columbia opted to name one of Columbia's 10 villages "Hickory Ridge." The village of Hickory Ridge was incorporated in 1972.

This home in Highland on the original Hickory Ridge tract — more than 6 miles west of the village of Hickory Ridge in Columbia — features English gardens, a manor house, cottage, 11 paddocks, 20-stall barn and more.

These Maryland homes on the market are not historic, but each has something unique, from a sun deck on the roof to a river in the backyard.
