Advert in the 9 February 1822 edition of the Baltimore Patriot:
A GREAT BARGAIN.
A GREAT BARGAIN will be given of that beautiful FARM, known by the name of Green Spring, and formerly owned by Mrs. Elizabeth Goodwin Scott, situated in Baltimore County, thirteen miles from Baltimore, on the New Liberty road.
Containing 300 ACRES,
with a sufficient quantity of wood land for its support. This farm has gone through a course of improvement within the last two years, and is justly rated among the first farms in the county, for its beautiful and eligable (sic) situation, its kindness of soil, its great susceptibility of improvement; and in a few years, with the aid of clover and plaster, would be exceeded by none for its production and luxuriance of crops. There may be cut off this farm from thirty to forty tons of clover and timothy hay, being at this time nearly one hundred acres well set in timothy and clover. Plaster acts on this farm with an astonishing effect. I used the last two years about fifteen tons, and found peculiar advantage from it. It is a well known fact, that lands near the falls do not suffer with the drought like those at greater distance, and of course insure crops more regularly.— For a dairy farm it possesses peculiar advantages, being well watered, having two and some more never failing springs of water in each field, all of which are under good fencing, and having clover pasture and hay, which can always be kept up sufficient for the support of from 30 to 50 head of milch cows. Its proximity to Baltimore market for its produce, the advantage of a mill within one hundred yards of the fence, together with an extensive out range for stock, makes it, to any person desirous of locating themselves on a farm particularly desirable. The situation for health is not exceeded in the state, and the convenience of educating children furnishes another inducement, having an approved teacher on the premises and several in the neighborhood.
The improvements are, a handsome two story STONE HOUSE, nearly new, with a piazza in front, and a cellar under the whole, finished in the modern style, and well calculated for the accommodation of a genteel family. An overseer's house, kitchen, Negro Quarters, and large Stone Stable and Carriage House, Corn House, a Log House, and the materials for building a large Swisser Barn, some of which are already prepared; an extensive Poultry Establishment, a good Spring House, with a never failing spring of water, a good Orchard of choice fruit, which bears every year; a large Kitchen Garden, containing an acre of ground, newly paled in, and filled with a great variety of fruit, such as Peaches, Quinees, Cherries, Walnuts, Damsons, Strawberries, Rasberries, Gooseberries and Currants, all of which are in a thriving condition, and of the first quality.
This farm cannot fail to draw the attention of persons disposed to locate themselves in the country in a good neighborhood, and near a good market, which has the advantage of two roads, the Liberty road, or the Reistertown turnpike, which, since the tolls have been reduced, make the expense inconsiderable, there being only about two months in the spring that the Liberty road is called bad.
The terms will be liberal, as but a small part of the purchase money will be required in cash, and that, by paying in interest, will not be required for one or two years. The balance will be taken in property in or near the city of Baltimore, or in merchandize at a fair price. The title is indisputable, which can be ascertained—and any other information relative to the estate, by application to JOHN SCOTT, Esq. Attorney at Law, Baltimore, or to the subscriber, on the premises.
