Description

Lorien at Avignon | A Rare Frederick County Estate Once home to acclaimed author and Egyptologist Barbara Mertz—known worldwide through the pen names Elizabeth Peters and Barbara Michaels—Lorien at Avignon stands today as one of Frederick County’s most extraordinary historic estate offerings. Set on over 10.24 scenic acres along picturesque Linganore Creek, this distinguished three-story Georgian stone residence, circa 1820, is recognized by the Frederick County Landmarks Foundation and showcases enduring craftsmanship, locally sourced stone construction, and preserved period detailing. Thoughtfully restored and enhanced as a long-term residence, the property was never intended for resale and is now unexpectedly available due to a change in circumstances. Inside, soaring ceilings, abundant natural light, restored original floors, and four working fireplaces create interiors rich in warmth and character. A dramatic solarium overlooks the gardens, while the renovated kitchen features quartz countertops, updated systems, and refined finishes that bring modern comfort to this remarkable home. The estate offers rare everyday livability with three-zone central air conditioning, multiple heating sources, two wells, and infrastructure designed to support both home and grounds. Outdoors, Lorien unfolds as a private sanctuary of elegant and whimsical beauty. Mature perennial gardens bloom throughout the seasons, winding paths lead to water features and gathering spaces, and the grounds include a restored gazebo, orchard, apiary, and a half-acre vineyard of Bordeaux varietal grapes currently maintained by experienced caretakers. Two ponds joined by a waterfall, a reflecting pool inspired by Hadrian’s Villa, custom outdoor stone fireplace, and creek access just steps from the home create an atmosphere rarely found and nearly impossible to replicate. Whether envisioned as a full-time residence, luxurious weekend retreat, creative sanctuary, or hospitality-inspired opportunity (buyer to verify intended use), Lorien offers a lifestyle few properties can match. Optional furnishings available for a turnkey transition.. A curated selection of furnishings, décor, and functional elements is available separately, offering the opportunity for a seamless, turnkey transition. Thoughtfully chosen to reflect the character and rhythm of the estate, these pieces allow the next steward to step directly into the lifestyle Lorien has been designed to hold, where every space feels considered, cohesive, and ready to be lived in from day one. A property of history, beauty, stewardship, and soul—ready for its next steward.
