Some homes have great features. Others have a great location. A select few offer both. This is one of those rare opportunities where quality, lifestyle, and setting come together to create something truly special.

A Homesite That Rarely Comes to Market -
Opportunities like this are few and far between. Built by respected local builder Dorsey Family Builders, this exceptional 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath Colonial combines quality craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and an extraordinary setting. Backing directly to more than 450 acres of Rockburn Branch Park with seamless access to over 16,000 acres of Patapsco Valley State Park, this home offers a lifestyle that is nearly impossible to duplicate.

Nature at Your Doorstep -
Enjoy direct access to more than 11 miles of trails, sports fields, tennis and basketball courts, playgrounds, streams, and protected woodlands. Whether you enjoy hiking, biking, fitness, or simply relaxing in nature, this remarkable location makes the outdoors part of everyday life.

Designed for Living -
Built in 2012 and meticulously maintained, this semi-custom home offers an open and inviting floor plan ideal for both daily living and entertaining. Quality finishes and thoughtful details throughout reflect the reputation Dorsey Family Builders has earned throughout Howard County.

The Heart of the Home -
The gourmet kitchen features upgraded countertops, an oversized center island, abundant cabinetry, a walk-in pantry, and premium appliances. Open to the spacious family room and adjacent to the formal dining room, it creates the perfect gathering space for family and friends.

Room for Everyone -
The upper level is anchored by a luxurious primary suite with a spa-inspired bath featuring dual vanities, a soaking tub, and a separate shower. Three additional bedrooms provide comfortable accommodations for family, guests, or home office needs.

Flexible Living Space -
The finished walkout lower level offers incredible versatility. Featuring a fifth bedroom, full bath, and adjoining recreation area, it can serve as a private guest suite, in-law retreat, fitness studio, media room, home office, or a combination of uses. A double glass sliding door with walk-up access fill the space with natural light.

Outdoor Living -
Situated on a beautifully landscaped 0.53-acre homesite, the outdoor spaces are equally impressive. An expansive wraparound deck, patio, and hot tub create the perfect setting for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the peaceful wooded backdrop.

Convenience Meets Tranquility -
While the setting feels private and secluded, you are just minutes from Columbia, Ellicott City, major commuter routes, MARC service, and BWI Airport. Enjoy easy access to Howard County's exceptional shopping, dining, entertainment, parks, golf courses, and top-ranked amenities.

Why This Home Stands Apart -
Finding a meticulously maintained semi-custom home built by one of Howard County's most respected builders is rare. Finding one that backs to hundreds of acres of protected parkland while remaining close to every modern convenience is even rarer. This home truly checks all the boxes: an exceptional homesite, quality construction, flexible living spaces, privacy, convenience, and an unmatched connection to nature.

The subdivision is improperly stated in the MLS as Hawksfield Estates. MLS needs to add Hawks Watch to the pull-down menu. I will update the subdivision once they have completed the update.
