This northern-facing gradual hillside property offers incredible views of pastoral farmland, tall woodlands, and a distant horizon of hills of Berks County. Located on a country road and steeped in history as part of the Free Love Valley of the 1800s, the 234 +/- year-old stone farmhouse includes a large enclosed porch and attached summer kitchen with walk-in fireplace and bake oven.
