Rarely is such a large farm available in Chester County! This 173+/- acres farm is set in a region known for its strong preservation efforts with over 30,000+ contiguous acres under permanent protection. The farm has enjoyed many purposes over the years including a country retreat, horse-training facility along with producing bountiful crops from its many rich, fertile fields. Regardless of the purpose, the views and quality of life are magnificent over the gently rolling hills in the Chester County countryside. The original home was built in 1880 and was renovated, and expanded, in 1985. It features 5 bedrooms, 2 full baths and 2 powder rooms providing ample space for a large family or guests. Enter the home through a welcoming foyer with curved staircase and glass windows. The spacious and comfortable living room is designed with built-in bookcases, perfect for displaying art pieces, and features wood flooring, marble fireplace, dental work details, floor-to-ceiling windows and pocket doors. To complete the entertaining area there is a 4-season room overlooking the pool outside with an open ceiling of exposed beams and peg construction, and glass sliders to the pool outside. This area also includes a convenient bar area and a powder room. The kitchen is equipped with double ovens, stainless steel counters and its own fireplace. There are numerous closets and pantry spaces for storage convenience and a separate entrance with a charming office/mudroom with quaint fireplace. A greenhouse alcove with a slate floor is an attractive feature for plant enthusiasts and links the dining area to the kitchen. The lower level has a brick floor and a spiral staircase previously used as an entertainment and dining area. It also houses a vault or large safe for added security. Attached to the main home, is a nanny/in-law suite with 2 bedrooms, living room and kitchenette. The home is ready for further updates and the personal touch of a new owner. A 3 bedroom, 2 bath carriage house is also on the property and is nicely, yet conveniently, sited. There is a country kitchen with eating area, dining room, living room and mudroom with washer/dryer and bath.For the hobbyist or horse enthusiast there is an impressive facility of barn and equipment buildings, fenced pastures and exercise rings. The barn currently includes 16 large (14x14'), as well as large foaling stalls (20x20') and has a wonderful loft with ventilation and storage space. Other amenities within the barn include a tack room, wash stall, and a grooming area with washer-dryer setup. An attached large turnout shed, and hay/equipment shed, provide additional convenience for horse care and other farm needs. Designed for optimal care and maintenance of vehicles and equipment, there is a large 2 bay garage for tractors and/or vans, plus, there is a 3-bay garage (with 3 added stalls on the far side). Convenient to the barn and these buildings, there are 7 pastures with newer split rail fencing.Additional features of the property: Act 319 for preferential taxes; property currently produces almost $90,000 annual income; primarily tillable acres with some woodlands, property flanked by 3 country roads; the very original homestead ruins still exist on far hill; in Cheshire Hunt countryside; and conveniently located to new shopping areas, major arteries, Parkesburg Train Station and the Chester County Airport (private).
