Potomac Bridge Abutment with Cottage

Adjacent to the Potomac, this historic property offers 1.25 acres, a historic railroad abutment and pier, sweeping river views, and a 2014 cabin, just 1 hour and 15 minutes from DC and Baltimore.

A Rare Piece of History

This property once anchored the Western Maryland Railway bridge, the West Virginia end of a span that crossed the Potomac and the C&O National Historic Park. 

Though the bridge itself was removed in the 1930s, the original concrete abutment and pier remain — 60 feet apart — standing as remarkable testaments to the area’s industrial past.

Endless Creative Potential

The abutment and pier invite possibilities. Visionaries may imagine a railroad flat car bridge, a viewing platform, or another unique structure that would make this property truly one-of-a-kind. From atop the pier, the views stretch unobstructed up and down the Potomac, with the preserved forests of the C&O Park directly across.

The Cottage

Nestled above the riverbank is a charming one-room cabin built in 2014. Warm and rustic, it provides a cozy retreat, creative studio, or weekend getaway. Decks overlook the water and surrounding forest, offering year-round enjoyment whether under summer leaves or winter snow.

For Creative Souls & Architects  

This is not just land with a cottage — it’s a canvas for imagination. A place where history, architecture, and natural beauty converge on the banks of the Potomac.

Location & Access

Just 1 hour 15 minutes from Washington, D.C. or Baltimore, MD, the property is close enough for a quick escape yet feels worlds away — secluded, historic, and surrounded by nature.
