Listing description

Photos coming soon! Welcome to a truly one-of-a-kind Lancaster County property where history, natural beauty, privacy, and endless possibilities come together on more than 6 acres of picturesque, tree-lined land. Complete with a creek, spring-fed pond, historic farmhouse, impressive bank barn, tobacco shed, and detached 4-car garage, this extraordinary property offers a rare opportunity to create your own private homestead, hobby farm, recreational retreat, or explore potential small-business uses. Built in 1878, the charming 4-bedroom, 2-full-bath farmhouse is filled with historic character, featuring original hardwood floors, soaring 10-foot ceilings, original trim and molding, and a beautiful curved staircase. The spacious floor plan offers two living rooms, an upgraded kitchen, generous bedrooms, and additional storage. Outside, more than 6 private acres provide a peaceful setting surrounded by nature. A creek lines the property, while a spring-fed pond adds to the beautiful landscape. Deer, foxes, wild turkeys, and other local wildlife are frequent visitors, creating the feeling of a private country retreat. The centerpiece is the spectacular 8,200 sq. ft. (estimated) post-and-beam bank barn dating to the early 1900s. The beautiful stone and concrete lower level offers incredible versatility for animals, equipment, storage, workspace, or other potential uses. The expansive upper level provides an impressive open space for storage, gatherings, agricultural use, hobbies, or whatever your imagination brings. New barn flooring was installed approximately 10 years ago. For the past 12 years, portions of the barn and property have been utilized as a small wedding and event venue, hosting over 100+ weddings/events. The existing business does not convey with the sale. Across the street, an estimated 1,680 sq. ft. tobacco shed with a stone and concrete basement offers additional workshop, equipment, hobby, or storage space. A detached 4-car garage provides even more room for vehicles, tractors, tools, and recreational equipment. The property has accommodated horses, cattle, chickens, and pigs over the years and offers potential pasture areas along with abundant lawn and garden space. Whether your vision includes animals, gardens, recreation, or simply room to enjoy the outdoors, the possibilities are impressive. The property previously received approval for additional structures or a pole barn on the tobacco-shed side. Buyers are responsible for verifying current zoning, permits, allowable uses, and future building possibilities. Located less than 1 mile from the Route 30 exit, this property combines a private country setting with exceptional accessibility to major routes and Lancaster County amenities. Properties offering this combination of historic character, acreage, water features, substantial outbuildings, privacy, and versatility are increasingly difficult to find in Lancaster County. One Seller is a licensed Pennsylvania real estate salesperson. Buyer to perform all due diligence regarding zoning, permitted uses, prior approvals, square footage, and intended use.

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $333,800, well below the ~$865,000 its asking price implies at Lancaster County's common level ratio (50.0%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $11,844/year. Factor that into an offer.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($333,800, 2018 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 Lancaster 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.
