Listing description

Some spend years searching for a setting like this: 6.5 acres of flat, open, usable land with sweeping countryside views that feel increasingly rare. Space to cultivate, room to breathe, and a landscape that makes the entire property unforgettable. Once used as an orchard, the grounds offer ample room to grow your own vegetables, pursue small-scale farming, or simply enjoy the beauty of open land. Saffron patches and four large black walnut trees enrich the setting, while an expansive 1,800-square-foot pole barn offers outstanding space for a workshop, equipment, storage, and hobbies. The approximately 2,200-square-foot home complements its surroundings with an open layout, exposed wood posts and beams, a huge pantry, and new sliding glass doors that open to the beautiful acreage beyond. Designed by Vermont-based Green Mountain Homes, the home incorporates passive solar heating and natural cooling principles. The construction manual is available upon request. All but three windows have been replaced within the last five years, with Andersen windows comprising the remaining three. A roof with a 50-year rating was installed approximately 10 years ago. Located in Ralpho Township, this is an exceptional opportunity to own the kind of usable acreage and remarkable views that make a long search worthwhile.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($271,100, 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.
