Step back in time with this captivating 1840 stone and brick mill — a remarkable piece of John Penn's legacy — set on 7.35 acres of rolling Barto farmland. This one-of-a-kind property offers a serene escape, featuring a gently flowing stream, a tranquil pond, and stunning views — all within the sought-after Boyertown School District. Whether you're dreaming of opening a bed and breakfast, launching an Airbnb, looking to secure prime hunting & fishing land or simply finding your perfect countryside retreat where wildlife abounds, this historic gem offers endless possibilities to make your vision a reality.

Step inside and be greeted by the grandeur of exposed stone walls, rustic beams and original hardwood floors. The massive living room is an entertainer’s dream, just waiting for your personal touch. The recessed family room, known as “The Pit”, boasts hardwood and slate flooring, along with a stone propane fireplace, complete with a striking copper cover – a true conversation starter. The dining room flows seamlessly into a spacious kitchen, featuring tile flooring, ample countertop space, and countertop seating, perfect for casual gatherings. A full bathroom is conveniently located on the main level. Outdoors, you can barbecue on the deck, cast a fishing line in the pond, explore the woods for hunting, take a refreshing swim in the stream, or enjoy a scenic hike. Back inside, head upstairs to the second floor and find the primary bedroom, featuring a spacious walk-in closet and a huge en-suite bathroom with access from both the bedroom and the hallway for added convenience. Four additional bedrooms provide plenty of room for family and guests. On the third floor, you'll find an enormous attic space — perfect for a recreational room, gym, additional bedrooms/bathroom, or anything else you can imagine.

Recent updates include a brand-new roof and well, both installed in 2024, a new septic system is in the process of being installed, and a new shed with a workshop provides extra space for hobbies and storage. Enjoy the convenience of being nearby to Route 100 for an easy commute, the Butter Valley Golf Course for leisure and Longacre's Modern Dairy for the best ice cream in town!
