Conveniently located just minutes from Route 15 with easy access to Gettysburg, Harrisburg, York, Fredrick Maryland, and other surrounding towns. This remarkable property… Read More offers the perfect balance of peaceful seclusion and everyday convenience. Set well back from the road - a rare feature for a farmhouse built during this era - the over 2,000-square-foot historic home, built in 1890, enjoys exceptional privacy. As you make your way up the lane, you'll first pass a picturesque spring-fed pond, creating a stunning entrance before arriving at the farmhouse. A spacious front porch overlooks the pond offers breathtaking morning views or sun rises with local wildlife about. There is also extensive gardens in a spring fed area of the property which were lovingly created and nurtured by the previous owner. This property offers the perfect place to relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Inside, you'll discover four bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, and authentic character that has stood the test of time. Exposed wood walls, original architectural details, and a traditional floor plan showcase the craftsmanship and charm that make historic homes so special while providing generous living space for today's lifestyle. The land is equally impressive. Two large 2-story barns offer exceptional versatility for horses, cattle, chickens, farm equipment, workshops, classic car collections, or additional storage. An over 10 acre fenced pasture is already in place, making it even easier to begin your equestrian or farming dreams. For outdoor enthusiasts, this property is truly one of a kind. Walking and ATV trails weave throughout the woods and fields, creating your own private nature preserve. The previous owner cherished spending time outdoors, hiking the trails with family and enjoying the incredible beauty of the land. One trail leads toward the highest point in Adams County, where you'll be rewarded with breathtaking panoramic views of rolling hills, picturesque farmland, and historic barns stretching across the countryside. Whether you're hiking, riding, hunting, or simply taking in the scenery, you'll feel like you've escaped to your own secluded paradise. To make enjoying and maintaining the property even easier, the sale includes an ATV, John Deere tractor, mower, bush hog, and plow, allowing the next owner to begin enjoying the property from day one. Adding even more value, the estate consists of two separate parcels. The 20-acre parcel includes the farmhouse, pond, barns, and fenced pasture, while the additional 26-acre wooded parcel offers exciting possibilities for future development, building a second home with breathtaking views for multi-generational living, creating a private guest retreat, or preserving it as your own woodland sanctuary. This separate parcel even has its own carved out road access on the far edge of the property allowing for both parcels to have private entrances. The parcels may be purchased together or separately, offering flexibility for a variety of buyers. Whether you're searching for a private family estate, an equestrian property, a working farm, a recreational retreat, or simply a place where history and nature come together, this exceptional Adams County property offers a lifestyle that is rarely found and not easily forgotten Property is also listed separately, MLS # Read Less
