Hidden off a long, tree-lined
private lane -- in an area coveted for its beautiful scenery and
open lands -- is this magnificent, historic gentleman's estate
and family compound.
If you love the idea
of owning a classic Chester County estate, you'll love 'Southdown'
... as much for its exceptional historic calibre and charm, as
for its absolutely spectacular hilltop setting.
The eighteenth century main residence features beautiful original
architectural elements, including random width floors, hand-hewn
millwork, plaster walls, deep windowsills, numerous original fireplaces
and mantlepieces ... and much, much more.
The residence is beautifully
positioned overlooking a lake on expansive, beautiful grounds,
which contain numerous tall shade trees, specimen plantings, old
gardens, hedges, sprawling lawns, open meadows... and, a long,
tree-lined, gated private drive. Access to the drive is controlled
by a pair of electronic gates and a remote callbox.
In addition to the main residence, the estate includes a cobblestone
courtyard, two historic guest houses, a caretakers' apartment,
pub, inground pool and spa, 14-stall barn, pond, stream, ample
fenced turnout for horses, a nice balance of mature woodlands
and open meadows ... and much more.
It is an exceptionally peaceful, private, and beautiful estate
setting, with absolutely spectacular countryside views.
For those who love the enduring character and appeal of significant
historic homes, 'Southdown' is an absolute must-see, and represents
a rare opportunity to acquire a landmark private residence ...
properties of this calibre are highly sought after, and only rarely
become available.
'Southdown' is well-located
in the heart of Chester County, PA -- one of the Philadelphia
region's most beautiful areas.
The estate is close to corporate centers in Radnor, Chesterbrook,
Great Valley, West Chester, Exton, Collegeville, King Of Prussia
... and, northern Delaware.
Approximately 35 miles west of Center City, Philadelphia. Easy
access by car or commuter rail line (R5) to Center City Philadelphia
and the Philadelphia International Airport (PHL), and, within
an approximate 30-minute drive of the central business district
(CBD) in Wilmington, DE.

Region.
