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.

Experience private acreage living at 7302 Meadow Wood Way. Situated on a premier 3-acre lot in the established Simpson Woods community, this distinctive Colonial offers privacy, space and architectural character in the heart of Clarksville. Tree-lined streets, mature trees and generous spacing between properties create a peaceful, low-density setting while keeping shopping, dining, recreation and the everyday conveniences of Clarksville just minutes away. Built by a Georgia builder who brought the architectural influences of his own region north, the house draws on Greek Revival and Southern Colonial traditions. Full-height columns rise two stories to the roofline, framing an expansive, welcoming front porch and a second-floor balcony stretching across the façade. Decorative railings, pedimented dormers, traditional shutters and a recessed double-door entry complete the symmetrical exterior and create a memorable sense of arrival. The interior keeps the promise the exterior makes. Inside, 4,184 square feet of finished living space, soaring 12-foot ceilings and original wide-plank pine floors amplify the spacious, sunlit footprint. Generously proportioned rooms, abundant natural light and a freshly painted neutral palette preserve the character of the house while providing a refined backdrop for modern living. The entry level is thoughtfully arranged with a formal living room, formal dining room, study, powder room and kitchen with an informal dining area. The study is anchored by a wood-burning stove, adding warmth and character to a room equally suited for working, reading or relaxing. Five years of split firewood convey with the property. The refreshed kitchen pairs the traditional character of the house with thoughtful updates, including quartz countertops, updated flooring, recessed lighting, a modern faucet and appliances updated within the last six years. The eat-in kitchen offers a relaxed alternative to the formal dining room and enjoys views of the deck and rear acreage. Upstairs, the expansive owner’s suite features its own fireplace, an updated ensuite bath with a walk-in shower and dual vanity, and an adjoining room with a fireplace is ideal for a private sitting room, dressing room or study. Two additional rooms are located on this level and a second-floor laundry adds everyday convenience. Step outside onto the expansive upper balcony and take in views across the mature trees of Simpson Woods. The house continues to a renovated third level completed in 2025, where the fifth bedroom, full bath and recreation room create an entirely additional level of living space. Two storage rooms and a dedicated HVAC system further enhance the functionality of this versatile upper level. Outdoor living is an integral part of the property. The three-acre setting, with roughly half of the acreage cleared, open and the balance surrounded by mature trees, provides both usable outdoor space and privacy. An expansive front porch, second-floor balcony and rear deck offer multiple places to enjoy the setting, while the resurfaced driveway provides parking for 6+ vehicles. Significant improvements include the roof (2022), windows (2017), porch decking (2025), driveway resurfacing (2026), new slate walkway and front landscaping (2026), soffits (2026), updated bathrooms (2025) and updates to the three-zone HVAC system. With 4,184 square feet of finished living space, 5 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, original wide-plank pine floors, multiple fireplaces, a wood-burning stove, soaring ceilings, expansive balcony, welcoming front porch, rear deck and three private acres, 7302 Meadow Wood Way offers something increasingly difficult to replicate: distinctive architecture, substantial living space, usable acreage and the enduring character of an established Clarksville property. *Interior photographs have been virtually staged to illustrate possible furniture placement and room use *square footage includes recent updates
