Passing the torch at Hickory Ridge Farm đĄâ¨
Today my friends Annie and Mike became the new caretakers of the legendary Howard County equestrian estate, Hickory Ridge Farm, located in Highland, Maryland
Annie and Mike fell in love with the historic charm of the main houseâbuilt by the Maryland Ridgeleys in 1789 and having since been home to the Hopkins and Clark familiesâbut perhaps the most meaningful part of this journey is that they finally have the perfect property to bring their own horses home. đ´đ¤
This never felt like a real estate sale; it felt like a true transfer of a historic legacy. The sellers were kind and gracious, and it was great to watch the two families genuinely become friends as they bonded over their shared love for this estate.
It has been a joy to play a small role in the beginning of this next chapter in Hickory Ridgeâs history. The legacy of Hickory Ridge is in the most wonderful hands! đžđĽ
