Listing description

Historic, versatile, and truly one-of-a-kind, Graystone Farm offers nearly 8 scenic acres in the Schuylkill Valley School District with a rare blend of residential charm, rural beauty, and flexible outbuilding space. The property is anchored by a historic stone farmhouse and surrounded by open, level acreage, fenced pasture areas, perennial gardens, a greenhouse, and established pear, plum, and persimmon trees. A remarkable walnut tree, believed to be centuries old, adds to the timeless setting. Currently used as a private residence, small farm, and established wedding venue, the property offers impressive infrastructure for a buyer seeking space for animals, hobbies, creative work, equipment storage, or potential continuation of the existing wedding venue use. The bank barn includes a finished, soundproofed suite with recessed lighting and modern flooring, ideal for a private office, studio, dressing area, or flex space. The heated venue area features rustic character and multiple heat sources, creating a welcoming setting for gatherings across more of the year. The lower level offers a heated workshop area with custom cabinetry, compressed air and dust collection infrastructure, and substantial room for projects, equipment, and storage. With three garage doors and room for 4+ vehicles or equipment, the barn provides exceptional functionality. Inside the farmhouse, historic character is balanced by thoughtful updates and flexible everyday living. Features include exposed beams, wood floors, a brick fireplace, updated quartz countertops, spacious living areas, a large mudroom, main-level laundry, and ductless mini-split comfort. The home is currently configured with 4 bedrooms, including a main-level bedroom/sunroom option, plus additional areas well suited for office, guest, or creative use. The residence includes 2 full baths, with an additional half bath located in the venue/barn area. A large walk-up attic with generous ceiling height provides excellent storage and future finishing potential. Additional features include multiple outbuildings, fenced animal areas, a historic summer kitchen currently used as a private lounge, and a dedicated utility pad with water and electric service for venue support. Conveniently located just minutes from Routes 61 and 222, this rare property offers space, character, and opportunity in a setting that is difficult to duplicate. For added peace of mind, the seller is offering a one-year America’s Preferred Home Warranty with an acceptable offer.

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $201,900, well below the ~$287,295 its asking price implies at Berks County's common level ratio (32.1%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $3,145/year. Factor that into an offer.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($201,900, 1994 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 Berks 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.
