[[Image:hayden-farm-aerial.jpg|right|thumbnail|Aerial view of the "Hayden Farm" with the 4 separate parcels designated. Source: St. Mary's County Government.]]A 172-acre site, known as the Hayden Farm, was purchased by St. Mary's County Government at a cost of $5,259,500 for a new elementary school and other public facilities. The site actually consists of four parcels of land. As of April 3, 2009 the deal has not closed.
The subject property is located just outside the incorporated town of Leonardtown, west of Hollywood Leonardtown Road (Md. State Route 245), on Hayden Farm Lane, in the Leonardtown Development District. The property is located within a mile of the County Courthouse in Leonardtown and approximately twelve miles west of the Patuxent River Naval Air Station.
=== Egress to Main Thoroughfare ===
One issue of concern is that the property has no frontage along the Leonardtown-Hollywood Road (MD ROUTE 245) -- the main thoroughfare from which traffic would have to access the county facilities which will be constructed on the land. There are approximately 9 parcels of land that lie in between the roadway and the property purchased by the county. The property is current accessible via Leonard's Grant Parkway. === 2 Homes Being Leased Back to Family === Despite the above-appraisal price paid for the property, the deal also includes provisions to lease back two of the existing homes and some accompanying acreage to the family. (Need to obtain terms of the lease)
