About This Home

As of February 2012

In a quiet hollow at the very end of a quiet country road on the border or Lehigh and berks county lies this perfect, secluded farmette with beautiful vistas of rolling farmland and the mountains beyond featuring gorgeous open pastures and some woods. A unique home, partly original stone with historic appointments, with a contemporary addition with vaulted ceilings. Includes a gorgeous stone bank barn of pegged construction. This majestic setting is absolutely pristine. 38 acres of rolling hills and wonderful views which will take your breath away. The property has received preliminary subdivision approval to be divided into 7 lots, but is being sold here as one package (buyer may finalize subdivision or just keep as a beautiful farm). A lower level apartment with separate entrance is leased at $650 per month, but may make the perfect inlaw situation.
