Listing description

Welcome to 217 Bucktoe Road, an exceptional 27.8-acre farmette offering a rare combination of open pasture, mature woodland, extensive outbuildings, and endless possibilities in the heart of southern Chester County. Ideally situated in the Kennett Twp, this unique property provides the space and versatility to create the country estate you've been looking for. The property features approximately 2 acres of open pasture, an additional 6+ acres of shaded pasture, multiple acres of mature forest, and a collection of substantial agricultural and equestrian improvements, including a 40' x 60' pole barn, historic bank barn, and a 6-stall horse barn. The property offers excellent potential for horses, livestock, farming, recreation, or simply enjoying the privacy and beauty of the surrounding countryside. The existing farmhouse offers over 4,000 square feet of living space with 6 bedrooms, 3 full baths and 2 half baths, providing plenty of room for family and guests. Originally built in 1925, the home offers character and a solid foundation for someone looking to renovate and create a truly custom residence. Adding to the property's appeal, the land is subject to a conservation agreement that allows for renovation of the existing farmhouse or construction of a new custom home in the same location as the current dwelling. This creates an exciting opportunity for a buyer looking to preserve the land while creating a home specifically suited to their vision. Whether you're looking for a private country retreat, equestrian property, working farmette, recreational acreage, or the opportunity to build your dream home, 217 Bucktoe Road offers a rare combination of land, location, existing improvements, and future potential. Located just minutes from the amenities of Kennett Square and the surrounding Brandywine Valley, this is a property that truly needs to be experienced in person!

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $165,340, well below the ~$458,700 its asking price implies at Chester County's common level ratio (30.6%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $11,781/year. Factor that into an offer.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($165,340, 1998 base year) × current millage. School millage is from the latest year certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (2025-26); districts adopt the next year's budgets each June, and we update when the state certifies the statewide file in the fall. Portals typically reprint the recorded 2026 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Chester County before relying on it.

Taxes use NookLocal's estimate at current millage rates, not the stale figure on the MLS. The default rate is the average 30-year rate as of July 2026; insurance is estimated at 0.35% of the price per year. Below 20% down, lenders usually add mortgage insurance, which this estimate doesn't include. Estimate only; verify before relying on it.
