Listing description

Welcome to Peace by Piece Farm, an extraordinary opportunity to own and make the most of a 44+ acre "Equestrian Facility" nestled in the heart of Chester Springs. Situated in a private and tranquil locale, this farm has served various purposes over the years, from a country retreat to a horse-training facility.

Upon entering through a pavilion-style doorway, you step into the main level featuring a front-to-back 2-story entrance foyer leading to the great room. The great room is adorned with a fireplace, a sizable built-in fish tank, and a wall of windows providing vistas of the terrace, pool, and countryside. Flowing seamlessly from the great room is the grand gourmet kitchen, equipped with a center island, a breakfast area with captivating views, a sunroom, wet bar, and a butler's pantry. This home boasts granite countertops, stone tile flooring, marble floors, crystal chandeliers, and exquisite woodworking with crown molding and built ins. The formal dining room, accessible from the butler's pantry, enhances the ease of entertaining. On the left of the entrance foyer, a study/office and a conservatory room with abundant natural light complete the main level, along with a powder room, closets, and a hallway leading to the 4-car garage. The upper level houses a luxurious primary bedroom suite with a spacious primary bath and walk-in closets. A walkway with expansive countryside views separates the three additional bedrooms, each ensuite with walk-in closets. An extra bonus room serves as a fantastic space for an additional family room and office. The lower level is designed for entertainment and family enjoyment, featuring a large bar area, an exercise room, a bedroom, and a rec room with French doors leading to the lower terrace and heated saltwater pool. This "State of the Art" home comes equipped with a generator, radiant heat floors and a central vacuum. For the equine enthusiast, the property offers a 100 x 200 indoor arena with an observation room, two offices, and a utility room, a 12-stall main barn, a 5-stall lower barn, both with heated wash stalls and tack rooms, a 4-stall shed row, equipment/shavings shed, nine paddocks, and a round pen. 1800 Art School Road is in Act 319 and has 3 separate tax parcels.

Not reported in the MLS feed

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $971,440, well below the ~$1,987,700 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 $37,677/year. Factor that into an offer.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($971,440, 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.
