Property Description
This pristine, fully renovated farmette offers endless opportunities limited only by your imagination. Nestled in nature, professionally designed hardscaping enhances the picturesque landscape, including a wrap-around paver patio with a lower tier that overlooks crossing footbridges and a winding stream flowing into Angelica Creek. Only top-of-the-line construction materials and fixtures were used, bringing modern luxuries to this unique home.
The property features a 3,500 sq. ft., 4-bedroom, 3.5-bath luxury home, a multi-tier two-car bank barn, and a private driveway with drainage that leads to a 6-car garage converted into a fully equipped gym. The grounds also include woodlands, nature trails, and upper pastures. The bank barn's sliding doors on the upper level can easily accommodate larger agricultural equipment, equestrian stalls, winery equipment, and storage. The lush, sunlit upper pastures are ideal for vineyards, organic farming, a horse arena, or potential additional residence and subdivision.
Explore the possibilities of peaceful living in this country estate, set on 8.5 acres of pastoral rolling countryside with verdant pastures, woodlands, and the tranquility of running water under the shade of a forest canopy. Located 1.5 miles from the highly-rated LedgeRock Golf Club and the 725-acre Nolde Forest Environmental Nature Preserve, this retreat offers easy access to the PA Turnpike, Route 76, 422, and I-95, providing both tranquility and convenience.
This country estate offers numerous possibilities, whether as a comfortable country home, a retirement retreat, a farmette, an organic farm, or a potential winery with vineyards in the upper pastures, taking full advantage of the picturesque scenery. The property's location is ideal for those who enjoy a busy lifestyle, with its proximity to restaurants, shopping, medical facilities, and outdoor recreational activities, offering an escape to a more relaxed rural lifestyle.
The home seamlessly blends historic charm with modern amenities, featuring random-width hardwood floors, cedar siding, wood shutters, and doors. The high-end kitchen is outfitted with top-of-the-line KitchenAid appliances, including a wine refrigerator, six-burner gas cooktop, oversized oven, and French-door refrigerator. Additional luxury details include Baldwin Brass hardware, Kohler toilets, a clawfoot tub, and a corner whirlpool in the master bath.
The bank barn offers two car spaces, and the attached upper garage provides additional parking for 2-3 cars when parked end to end. There are two owner-owned propane storage tanks: a 250-gallon freestanding tank used for heating in the rear garage, and a 1000-gallon underground tank that supplies fuel for a gas condensing boiler, a Kohler 20kW standby generator, two interior fireplaces, a KitchenAid 6-burner range, and a Whirlpool front load gas dryer.
The parcel's topography features a pleasing mix of lower and upper flat pastures and rolling hills, surrounded by woodlands and a small corner area of wetlands that support a variety of native wildlife. The upper shelf of the parcel is flat and could be cleared to develop additional pastoral acreage or to build an equestrian paddock or arena. A paved, winding driveway provides access to these areas and the entrance to the nature trails through the wooded acreage.
There are two FEMA Flood Risk Zone Codes applicable to the property: Zone X: minimal flood hazard, applies to approximately 96% of the property, including the crossing footbridges and the winding stream that flows into Angelica Creek, falls within Zone X. Zone A High: On the property, this zone pertains to a small portion (1-2 feet) on either side of Angelica Creek at the boundary. However, this poses no risk to any of the structures on the property indicated in the FEMA property flood map.
