About this home
Property is RAW LAND. No access to public water or public sewer. Agent will upload letters from Montgo County regarding ability to build on the lot. This lot does not have a perk or well. There was an old house that was demolished and removed, the former hand dug well was removed, and the old septic abandoned.
This property backs to Waredaca Farm. Zoned Agriculture. One buyer is exempted from this listing.
Cash purchase only.
My research, from Chat GPT, Buyers should verify all information:📍 Parcel 173 – 4001 Damascus Rd, Gaithersburg, MD
Zoning: AR – Agricultural Reserve (Montgomery County)
Lot size: approximately 0.48 acre
Status: Legal nonconforming lot (created prior to current AR 25-acre minimum)
Because it’s a pre-existing recorded lot, it can be used, but with limits.
✅ Uses ALLOWED by right on this parcel
You may:
Maintain and occupy a single-family detached home
Repair, renovate, and make interior updates
Add typical accessory structures
(garage, shed, small barn-style outbuilding — subject to setbacks)
Home occupation
(office, consulting, remote work; no retail traffic)
Personal gardening / hobby agriculture
Keep limited animals
(chickens, etc., per Montgomery County animal rules)
Must comply with nonconforming structure rules
Agricultural business activity
(boarding, sales, events) → usually not allowed
🚫 Uses NOT allowed
Duplexes, townhouses, apartments
Retail, commercial, or event use
Intensive agriculture or boarding operations
📐 Key Development Rules to Know
Setbacks still apply (AR has larger setbacks than residential zones)
Well & septic limits control expansion potential
No increase in density or intensity beyond existing conditions
✔️ This parcel is buildable/usable as a single-family residential lot
✔️ You can live in it, improve it, and maintain it
❌ You cannot subdivide, or commercialize it
🧱 Accessory Structures (garage, shed, etc.)
Typical AR standards (subject to confirmation by DPS):
Side/Rear: usually 10–15 feet
Front: generally behind the front building line
Must still meet well & septic separation requirements
Larger structures (barn-type buildings) may trigger larger setbacks.
🚧 Other Key Limits to Keep in Mind
Max building height: 35 feet
Well & septic locations often limit buildable area more than zoning
Easements (utility, drainage) can further reduce usable space
Bottom Line
For planning purposes, assume:
50' front | 25' sides | 50' rear
