Listed by Core Property Management Realty
Welcome to Turning Point Farm, an exceptional 11.5-acre equestrian property in Downingtown offering a rare combination of historic character, thoughtfully designed horse facilities, and a transferable commercial equine business license. With 14 fenced grass pastures, 16 total stalls, indoor and outdoor riding arenas, and a charming stone farmhouse, this property is exceptionally well equipped for the serious equestrian, trainer, boarding operation, or buyer simply dreaming of having their horses at home. At the heart of the property is a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath stone farmhouse, where historic character meets meaningful updates. The stone exterior has been fully repointed, and the home features all-new windows and frames. Inside, the dining room showcases a large original fireplace now fitted with a wood stove and stainless-steel chimney insert. Newly installed mini-split systems provide heating and air conditioning throughout, while the existing oil furnace remains as a backup. The home is supported by 200-amp electrical service, with an additional 100-amp service dedicated to the barn and indoor arena. The property's centerpiece is the 1796 stone bank barn, offering 16 matted stalls consisting of 10 interior stalls, two exterior-attached stalls, and a four-stall shed row, all with Dutch doors. A 12' x 16' foaling stall adds flexibility for breeding operations, while direct pasture access, heated Nelson waterers, indoor and outdoor hot/cold wash stalls, a tack room, and bathroom make day-to-day barn operations remarkably functional. Above, an expansive hay loft can accommodate a tractor-trailer load of hay or more. Its reinforced floor allows a shavings truck to back directly in for unloading, while a chute conveniently delivers shavings directly to the barn aisle. Renovated exterior loft doors and an oversized storage room provide additional space for boarders' trunks, equipment, and supplies. For year-round riding and training, the property offers an impressive 70' x 200' indoor arena with dust-free Perma Flex footing, full-width mirrors, ten large sliding glass windows, and three oversized 8' x 16' sliding doors providing abundant natural light, airflow, and easy access. Outdoors, riders will appreciate the regulation-size 20m x 60m arena with sand footing, along with judges' boxes at C and B. The 11.5 acres are divided into 14 large grass pastures enclosed with post-and-rail fencing, with more than 10 also featuring dog fencing. Five run-in sheds each open directly to their own grass field and include automatic heated Nelson waterers, including a substantial 24' x 24' matted broodmare shed with four double Dutch doors. A stone-base circular drive provides excellent maneuverability for trucks and horse trailers. Perhaps most importantly for buyers looking to operate professionally, a transferable commercial business license for equine activities conveys with the sale, creating an opportunity to step into an established equestrian-ready property without starting from scratch. Whether envisioned as a private equestrian retreat, training facility, boarding operation, breeding farm, or combination thereof, Turning Point Farm offers infrastructure that would be extraordinarily difficult to replicate today. Historic stone construction, extensive turnout, two riding arenas, 16 stalls, and 11.5 acres come together in one truly distinctive Chester County property.
