Maryland land real estate

Maryland land overview

Despite only spanning 8 million acres, Maryland is home to a variety of geography. That, plus the fact it has a diverse history and culture, have earned it the nickname of "America in Miniature." From marshland and sandy dunes along the eastern shore, rich farmland in the west, and rolling hills, valleys, and streams in the Piedmont to the blue-hazed forests of the Blue Region, orchards and ridges in the Appalachian Ridge, and forested mountains of the Appalachian Plateau, you can find a little of everything. Although Maryland is densely populated because of cities like Baltimore, there are plenty of opportunities to buy timberland, equestrian properties, agricultural acreage, and hunting land. Don't forget about the pristine beachfront property on the Atlantic coast and the Chesapeake Bay—the largest estuary in the U.S. It's no surprise the President's country retreat, Camp David, is located in Catoctin Mountain Park in Maryland providing a place for quiet solitude.
