Bachelors Hope Farm, a once-in-a-lifetime deepwater hunting farm, with tillable acreage, is being offered for sale for the first time in 50 years. A private sanctuary with two houses, an insulated boathouse with a railway launch, over 3,000 feet of frontage on the Chester River and over 1,400 feet of stone revetment, this waterfront retreat cannot be replicated. The property offers nautical features that are unmatched - true deepwater, with 8' MLW at the 420 foot dock, with water & electric, and at least six slips. The large, insulated, and heated boathouse has a 150 foot private railway launch. The lift system inside the boathouse allows for indoor storage of multiple boats, as well as storage room for smaller boats plus a complete marine workshop. Of the total 164.13 acres, 96 are tillable, 43 are wooded, and the farmland boasts three ponds. The original farm barn and silo stand proudly near the entrance of the property. The main home offers sweeping views of the Chester River from every room, with seven bedrooms, including three master suites, and a handicap accessible in-law suite. The four bedroom, two and a half bathroom Farm Home was built in the early 1900s and renovated in 1994. The conservation easement allows for the construction of a third residence to accommodate a caretaker or complete the construction of a family compound. Bachelor's Hope Farm is the perfect site for a family compound to escape from the city, hunt, farm, play tennis, relax by the pool, and enjoy private dockage for your boats of any size. Less than two hours to Philadelphia, Washington, DC, and Baltimore, three hours to New York City, and a short boat trip to Annapolis and Baltimore. Schedule your private showing. No drive bys please, listing agent must accompany all showings.
