 THE "IDLEWILDE" FARMS 



EQUIPPED WITH ALL MODERN CONVENIENCES. DAVIDSONVILLE, 

 ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY, MARYLAND. NEAR ANNAPOLIS. 



An ideal summer home, rolling grass lands, thoroughly adapted to the growth of a 

 variety of crops, and profitable for cattle, sheep and horses. 



Until further notice, the undersigned will hold for private sale the estate mentioned 

 above, consisting of 505 acres of land near the village of Davidsonville, in Anne 

 Arundel County, about nine miles from Annapolis, the capital of Maryland, and 

 easily accessible from Washington, D. C., and Baltimore, Maryland. 

 This property is only a pleasant drive of nine miles over good roads to the city of 

 Annapolis, which is now becoming famous on account of the great Naval Academy's 

 being rebuilt at an expense of twelve millions of dollars, and which will soon be ac- 

 cessible by an electric railroad built in expectation of Annapolis becoming a great 

 center of attraction to all the people of the United States by reason of the fact that 

 one thousand youths, representing every state in the Union, attend at the Naval 

 Academy as midshipmen preparing to become naval officers; and there is also lo- 

 cated in the said city the third oldest college in the country, St. John's College, di- 

 plomas from which institution entitle youths to enter West Point, Harvard and 

 Yale without examination. 



The property is improved by a beautiful residence containing sixteen rooms, and 

 provided with ample verandas; situated 150 feet above tide water, surrounded by a 

 pretty grove. A steel tower storage tank, capacity 5,000 gallons, is supplied by a 

 sixty-foot steel tower and twelve-foot Manvel windmill, from a never-failing spring 

 of softest water, and distributes water to the dwelling house, stable, & many other 

 places on the farm. A barn accommodates twelve driving horses. A carriage house 

 and harness room has eight hundred square feet of floor space. An ice-house has 

 forty tons capacity. There are four servants' quarters, a manager's residence, five 

 ton scales for stock and hay; stock-barns and yards, blacksmith shop and orchards. 

 The ground is high and rolling, and is well set in the best grass. The soil is adapted 

 to almost any kind of crop. The situation is beautiful and healthful. The neighbor- 

 hood is good, with refined society in and around Davidsonville. Churches of various 

 denominations; postoffice, schools and mills are nearby. Long distance telephone 

 connection is in the house, and the projected Baltimore & Southern Railroad runs 

 directly through the farm. Already farmers, once contented in the West, but look- 

 ing for a more genial clime and pleasant surroundings, have located in this neigh- 

 borhood. A rare opportunity is now offered to one seeking an ideal country home, 

 fully furnished and equipped. There are one hundred & fifty head of stock, horses, 

 cattle, sheep and hogs on the place. Will sell as it stands, option of purchaser.
