After finishing your breakfast walk out the back door to your gardeners paradise with raised beds and lavender garden. If so this is the property for you. This farmette sits on 15 private acres steeped in history and timeless charm surrounded by rolling farm fields and the South Mountains. The house offers 2500 sq. ft. of living space with 3 newly renovated bathrooms and 3 bedrooms. The bathrooms blend historic authenticity with modern comfort while the whole house shows off deep windows, hardwood floors and original woodwork. The house is warmed by HVAC heating system, pellet stove in the kitchen and Vermont Castings wood stove in the parlor. Directly behind the main house is a one of kind Spring House with 2 floors. The top floor has been renovated with electric and exposed beams. It has served multiple purposes including a separate bedroom or special occasion room for family dinners and special events including two weddings. The grounds are equally captivating with a gentle stream winding through the property and several pastures/fields offering spectacular sunsets and views. Additional outbuildings include; large Pennsylvania Bank Barn which has been placed on the Historic Gettysburg Adams County register.

The estate has a strong history as it was present during the Battle of Gettysburg as shown by the Civil War Plaque on the front of the house. As the Confederate States Army marched into Adams County they camped on the property as noted by artifacts found in the surrounding fields. In addition this property had the largest reparations claim post Civil War. The house and property has a house preservation award given by Historic Gettysburg, Adams County dating the farmette back to 18.
