Property Description
Step into a rare blend of history and functionality with this circa 1790 farmstead, situated on 14 scenic and secluded acres, with an abundance of wildlife. Featured in Schuylkill Living Magazine, this unique property offers an idyllic lifestyle for homesteaders, hobby farmers, or anyone seeking peace, privacy and rural charm. This Historic hand and hewn chestnut/oak log home was featured with The Historic Barn & Farm Foundation of Pa and bank barn tour of 2016. Confirmed by barn historians it was built by Swiss settlers based on the construction of cuts used to stack the logs.
Inside the home, rustic character meets practical upgrades: Quaker Maid oak kitchen cabinets, Pella windows and doors, a Bath Fitter bathroom, and a customized wood burner integrated with the oil heating system. This innovative setup allows you to heat the home with wood, with the oil burner (fed by two 250-gallon tanks) automatically taking over when needed. Classic cast iron radiators provide warmth throughout.
Modern water infrastructure includes a 160 gallon storage tank, a UV whole house water treatment, a Kinetico water softener as well as a covered hand dug well for outdoor tasks like gardening or car washing. The home's roof has been updated with a combination of rubber roofing and shingles, offering increased durability.
There is a beautifully preserved Pennsylvania bank barn, complete with original cattle stalls below and an attached two stall covered tractor shed, perfect for storage or a workshop. The land features 8–9 tillable acres, a mature growth forest of English Black Walnut and pine trees plus a small glen with a spring fed stream behind the home. The property can also be put into clean and green.
Outbuildings include a small shed, which is ideal for garden tools, or it may easily adapt into a chicken coop. A detached 2 car garage with a spacious storage loft provides versatile space for vehicles and other items
