Penn Houses for Sale

Penn, a rural township in Mohrsville, PA, is nestled in the lush Pennsylvania countryside, characterized by winding roads, thick forests, and expansive farmland. Located just outside Bernville and about 15 miles northwest of Reading, Penn offers a remote lifestyle with convenient access to larger cities. The area, settled in the late 18th century by German farmers, features a variety of home styles, from contemporary homes on 10-acre lots to split-level homes on one-acre plots, all surrounded by natural and agricultural scenery. Residents enjoy the changing seasons with large, grassy yards backing up to forests and meadows, and some homes offering views of the Appalachian foothills. Local amenities include Penn Township Municipal Park, which has a baseball diamond, athletic courts, and a playground, and the nearby Rentschler Arboretum, offering 34 acres of gardens and nature sanctuaries. Blue Marsh Lake Park, just south of Penn, provides over 30 miles of trails and 1,100 acres of water for boating, fishing, and swimming. Shopping and dining options are limited, with essentials available at Blue Marsh Market in Bernville and treats at Plum Creek Farm Market & Creamery. For more extensive shopping, residents head to Reading. While local schools have average ratings, The King’s Academy offers an alternative private education. Despite its rural feel, Penn is conveniently located near major roads, making it about 14 miles to downtown Reading and 75 miles to Philadelphia.
