Nestled in a peaceful and secluded setting, this remarkable 120+ acre property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of Montgomery County history. Currently used as a retreat, the estate features two charming stone historic homes in need of rehab, a spacious dining hall equipped with a full commercial kitchen, a bunkhouse can house 22 people with office spaces, ADA-compliant bathrooms, multiple utility/storage buildings, one utility building was formerly a pavilion used for outdoor cookouts, meetings, and community gatherings-and could easily be converted back from a utility shed to a pavilion, further adding flexibility for events and recreation. A ropes course adds to the property's versatility, making it ideal for retreats, conferences, therapeutic programs, or educational gatherings. A unique feature is the 8.1-acre section (see plot plans) known as “Woodrock” which has a separate road access from Schaeffer Rd and is excluded from the conservation easement-opening the door for potential subdivision or future development. Woodrock does have multiple buildings on it in very poor condition and a basketball court. Please do not enter buildings. Zoned R-2, the property supports a wide variety of uses "by right," including residential, general farming, forestry, nurseries, detached dwellings, accessory professional office or personal services, accessory Instructional services and municipal uses. Additional uses are permitted by conditional use or special exception, offering tremendous flexibility. Potential options range from private schools, places of worship, riding academies, veterinary office, and kennels to camps, family day care, event spaces, recreational facilities, and therapeutic communities. The site has a long-standing history of service to the community, formerly known as Fellowship Farm and now operating as Working Together. It has hosted summer camps, conferences, transitional housing, and wellness-focused programming. The landscape is truly breathtaking with rolling hills, open meadows, a small pond, and wooded areas, all accessible via a long private drive. Incredible views from the top of the “outlook” up the trail… make for some relaxing sunset cocktails overlooking the horizon/ valley. Fire pits and rustic rock circles, perfect for group gatherings, evening storytelling, or quiet moments of reflection under the stars. The property includes a conservation easement and a gas line easement. Please investigate how these may impact your use. Just minutes to Route 422 and Route 100 and under 40 miles from Philadelphia, this unique property is ideally located for a wide range of future uses. This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity to own a vast, multi-functional property steeped in history and surrounded by nature, perfect for visionary nonprofits, institutions, or those seeking a secluded and flexible estate. See listing agent for disclosures, easement documents, and township information before calling the Township; this may answer many questions and is a preferred method for the zoning officer. There are 2 parcels included in this sale, see agent remarks.
