Bring your horses! This Gentleman's Farm features a park-like setting, is located above the C & D Canal, only minutes from Route 1 / Route 13; approx 21 miles from the Maryland FIVE Star Fair Hill Equestrian Center and the Fair Hill State Park where there are numerous trails for horseback riding! Driving back on the paved driveway to the home, you will notice the fruit trees & blackberry bushes on the right, leading to the Greenhouse w/ water & fenced garden area. The driveway circles around in front of the 3 BR, 2.5 Bath Ranch home which has been recently painted throughout including the walls & floors of the full basement and built-in 2 car garage (also accessed by a driveway). The home features a front & rear enclosed porch, both offering beautiful & peaceful views. French Door Entry leads into the large foyer, the formal LR with a large picture window is to the right, plus BRs 2 & 3 and an updated full bath. To the left of the foyer is the updated Kitchen with white cabinets, black appliances (dishwasher, smooth-top range, built-in microwave), pantry and a new kitchen floor. The dining area with new flooring has 4 windows with views of the 30x15 Koi Pond, brick patio & Rose Garden. Spacious FR features a gas FP for those cool, wintry nights. The primary BR offers an updated Bath w/ oversized tiled shower and views out to the horse barn & fields. The main floor Laundry & half-bath are conveniently located next to the rear porch. There is also a detached 2 car garage with electric (or can be your workshop). The barn is 30x60 with 4 horse stalls, a pony stall, a feed room, a tack room with a/c and a large storage space for hay. Two run-in sheds: 36x12 & 8x20. There is an 80x120 stone dust ring. The pasture consists of 7 acres that is slip board cross fenced. All pastures lead to the water trough. And there’s more! A 32x28 outbuilding w/ electric; a 10-12' closed in lean-to and a 12x24 soft covered storage area for storing your machinery. Included with the sale is the wood fired boiler (Classic Edge 1450, 145K BT) that is piped into the house to supplement or provide all the heat & hot water (firewood included). If you have chickens (or want to raise chickens), this property has a 10x10 hen house with chicken pen. The property borders the Dragon Creek. Truly a great opportunity for anyone with livestock (horses, goats, chickens) or for a contractor that may need additional buildings for storage. This wonderful property is close to major roadways yet tucked away providing a tranquil & relaxed atmosphere.
