Secluded township in Chester County
In Wallace, winding country roads lead past lush greenery, open fields and the occasional stone fence reminiscent of rural New England. “It’s out of the Main Line suburban sphere; it’s a bit more of a rustic community,” says Hobson Pusey, a Realtor with Berkshire Hathaway Fox & Roach who has over 20 years of experience in the industry. “A lot of folks were born and raised in the area and stay there. There are a couple of attractions aside from the rolling landscape, including Marsh Creek State Park.” While Wallace embraces its serene countryside setting and offers proximity to expansive green spaces, the town is also seeing an influx of new construction. “Wallace has probably five new developments right now. There used to be a lot of farms out there, but not so much anymore,” Pusey says. Residents continue to enjoy quiet living amongst the town’s growth, and Wallace’s central location in Chester County offers proximity to major thoroughfares and commutes to bigger cities such as Philadelphia.

Rustic farmhouses with spacious lots and new construction
Single-family homes in Wallace embrace the township’s rustic charm with tree-lined lots that average about 2 acres. Homebuyers will find bucolic farmhouses, sprawling ranch-style estates, Colonial Revivals and custom-built homes tucked at the end of private driveways. Many properties feature outdoor amenities like spacious back decks, in-ground pools and babbling creeks where residents can observe wildlife and enjoy the sounds of water. Newer construction includes planned communities like the Trails at Marsh Creek and Spring Mill, where new traditional homes offer open floorplans and sit closer together on quarter-acre lots. Prices in the township range from around $400,000 for a smaller ranch-style home to about $1 million for a custom-built house. “Like everywhere else, there is a lot of development,” Pusey says. “It’s getting to be a mix between preserved land and new developments. They’re trying to keep that rustic feel.” The Wallace Township Historical Commission works to protect the community’s unique character, including the preservation of 19th-century houses of worship such as the Glen Moore United Methodist Church and the Fairview Presbyterian Church.
Home buyers can find several new construction communities with contemporary style homes.

Nature trails, animals and a rich history at Springton Manor Farm
With five public parks in Wallace Township, residents have access to a lighted baseball field, a basketball court, two tennis courts and a playground. The township is also home to Springton Manor Farm, a 306-acre park listed on the National Register of Historic Places for its agricultural significance. Attractions include an agriculture museum, a demonstration farm with over 30 animals and 7 miles of multi-use trails for hikers and horseback riders to explore. Surrounded by rolling hills and mature trees, the Manor House at Springton Manor Farm is a popular wedding venue. Less than a 10-mile drive south of Wallace Township is Marsh Creek State Park, where the 535-acre Marsh Creek Lake attracts motorboaters, kayakers and anglers with a steady supply of largemouth bass. Just north of Marsh Creek State Park is the Creekside Raceway, a paved kart racing course where the Creekside Raceway Kart Club competes on most Saturday nights. Golf lovers can head less than 5 miles northeast to The Golf Zone Family Fun Center and practice their swings at the indoor driving range or on the outdoor 18-hole mini golf course.

Concerts, movies and events in Wagenseller Park
Wagenseller Park has a covered pavilion in the heart of town, making it a popular spot for community gatherings. Festivities range from summertime concerts and movie nights to annual events like the Wallace Winter Wonderland and Community Day. Held each September, Community Day celebrates the township’s anniversary with a parade, live music and carnival games. Residents can also stop by local farms for seasonal festivities, with Bernard’s Tree Farm selling Christmas trees and Smith Produce Farm hosting a corn maze and haunted house each fall.
Local spots include Far Away Farm Country Corner
While shopping and dining options are limited in Wallace, the township’s few mom-and-pop shops are deeply ingrained into the fabric of the community. The cozy dining room at Mean Bean Coffee and Cream provides a place for neighbors to gather over cups of fresh-brewed coffee and bowls of hand-scooped ice cream. Far Away Farm Country Corner embraces the farm-to-table movement, and the rustic café uses local ingredients to serve up homestyle dishes for breakfast and lunch. “Those are the only two food options in town, so they’re pretty popular,” says Elise Grashof, the Assistant Township Manager of Wallace. Residents can pick up farm-fresh goods at the Hidden Horseshoe Produce stand, while big-box stores like ACME Markets are about a 6-mile drive away in Upper Uwchlan.

Interstate 76 connects residents to Philadelphia
Residents are largely car-dependent as the town lacks a public transit system, and most of its winding country roads do not have sidewalks. “Even though it’s a bit out of the suburban Philadelphia bubble, it’s still very accessible to a lot of the main arteries,” Pusey says. Pennsylvania Route 282 bisects the community and connects residents to nearby townships in Chester County. For longer trips, Interstate 76 runs along the township’s northern edge and leads about 40 miles east to Philadelphia. Philadelphia International Airport is about a 45-mile drive from Wallace.
