One of the most beautiful privately-owned landholdings in Chester
County, PA, and the former weekend residence of a prominent New
York City couple, who loved the Chester County countryside and
used to helicopter in from Manhatten to enjoy the estate as a
summer home.
The property is served by a long private gravel lane, which crosses
over a beautiful boulder-strewn stream and waterfall, then winds
through mature woodlands, past rolling lawns and a large apple
orchard, to the main residence.
Grounds were designed by internationally acclaimed landscape
architect Robert Zion, who also designed the sculpture gardens
at New York's Museum of Modern Art.
The estate is comprised of more than 63 acres of rolling woodlands
and open land, and includes both a private lake and a private
network of trails for walking, horseback riding, and cross-country
skiing.
Improvements include an open, sunny, architecturally stunning
main residence designed by noted New York architect James Baker,
a magnificent three-story eighteenth century fieldstone bank barn,
guest cottage, and much, much more.
The residence is magnificently positioned on a high knoll, with
a warm southern exposure, amidst rolling, perfectly manicured
lawns, and overlooks the lake. Views and vistas from the hilltop
residence are absolutely spectacular.
An extraordinarily peaceful, serene, and private setting in an
area which many see as the "country Gladwyne".
The estate is ideal for continued use as a weekend retreat, or,
alternatively, as a magnificent setting for a primary residence.
Located within 45 minutes of Center City Philadelphia and Philadelphia
International Airport, and within 25 minutes of the Philadelphia
Main Line.
Significant underlying value and conservation-related tax advantages
are available to a qualified purchaser. Call for particulars.
Shown by private appointment only.
All inquiries handled in confidence.
