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 ~$307,611 its asking price implies at Berks County's common level ratio (34.4%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $3,894/year. Worth pricing in.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($201,900, 1994 base year) × current millage — portals typically reprint the recorded 2026 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale.
