When a Master Gardener and woodworker own a home, the result is a property unlike any other. Watch the video for the true size of this estate. Welcome to 8150 Fairground Road in La Plata, set on 6.62 acres in the serene Rural Conservation area of Charles County, this home blends charm, character, and practicality.
