Small-town living among rolling green hills
West Nantmeal might cover a lot of land, but this township is home to just about 2,250 residents. Historically, this community paved the way for agricultural and ironworking lifestyles, and today the miles and miles of rolling fields include farms for cattle, fish, horses and trees. A landmark built in 1892 that preserves the town's past success in ironwork is Daughters St. Mary Providence, formerly known as the Ironmaster’s mansion. Pennsylvania Turnpike runs through the northern tip of West Nantmeal, but the two-lane highway of Manor Road is the main artery around this scenic and rural area. “You’re away from the hustle and bustle, but you’re not in the middle of nowhere,” says Susan McFadden, a Realtor with Keller Williams who lived in the neighboring town of Elverson for almost 20 years. “People go home to a quiet life after a busy day. There are modern conveniences, but it’s more off the beaten path.”
West Nantmeal is home to many private horse farms for equestrian training and competition.

Spacious homes with acreage and countryside views
As residents drive along the two-lane roads of West Nantmeal, they are met with scenic pastures and fields of crops as far as the eye can see. Other than a few houses set near these main roads and the distance silo attached to farm properties with long, winding driveways, most of the residential homes are found along the town’s backroads. The architecture varies from the classic look of Farmhouse Revivals, colonials, Cape Cods and ranch homes to the more modern influences of contemporary, traditional and Craftsman dwellings. These single-family properties that sit on about an acre of land and offer between 1,400 and 3,000 square feet of space typically cost from $330,000 to $600,000. As the home sizes and acreage grow, the prices follow. Houses with similar styles sitting on 2 to 10 acres might be anywhere from 2,000 to 12,000 square feet, and their prices vary between $600,000 to about $1.5 million. “West Nantmeal attracts young families and people who plan to stay in the area for a long time,” McFadden says. “Chester County also has lower taxes than other local counties.”

Farm-to-table dining and fresh local produce
Part of West Nantmeal’s charm is being so secluded from the bustle of commercial and retail areas. As a result, there are very few restaurants and storefronts within the community and many side-road produce stands. “In the summer, there are a lot of local farmstands,” McFadden says. “Some just use the honor system. You can get eggs, vegetables, watermelon and fresh flowers.” Just Mom’s is a small diner and ice cream shop on the south end of Manor Road known for its extensive sandwich and loaded fries menu. “It’s a great little place to get milkshakes and the famous Philadelphia cheesesteak,” McFadden says. “It’s been around for a long time.” Nearby, Wyebrook Farm is a working farm that maintains a rustic atmosphere in its 18th barn. Visitors can listen to the occasional live music while experiencing a rotating menu that serves meat that was raised right there on the property. For more dining and shopping options, the Morgantown Crossings shopping center above 5 miles north features a Walmart, takeout eateries and health clinics. Nearby, Morgantown Coffee House is a popular spot to have a morning brew. “It’s very trendy,” McFadden says. “It’s like Starbucks, but everything is farm-to-table and fresh.”
Morgantown Coffee House offers a variety of baked goods and delicious craft coffee flavors.

Historic architecture of the Ironmaster’s Mansion
One of West Nantmeal’s most historic landmarks is located on Isabella Road, which is named after the Isabella Furnace that contributed to America’s economic development through iron products like kitchen utensils and cannonballs. What was once the Ironmaster’s Mansion is now occupied by the Daughters of St. Mary of Providence, the Victorian Gothic architecture appearing castle-like. Today, the Daughters use the space as a retreat center and for senior citizen housing, welcoming the community to attend events, including the Strawberry Festival in June. “There’s also a pool there that they use for swim lessons,” McFadden adds. Another scenic establishment in town is Brandywine Manor House, a popular wedding venue originally built in the 18th century.
