There aren't enough words to describe how enchanting this property is, with all of it's original charm and awe inspiring views. The land is ample with fruit trees, gardens, pastures and out buildings of all sorts. There is a barn, chicken house, outhouse, summer kitchen and newer over-sized garage with attic space. Step inside and you will feel transported back to a more simple time. The farmhouse has been lovingly restored but also given some modern updates to make it feel more functional. There are still many historical details present such as the beautiful hard woods, walk in fireplace, front & back stair case and the original siding that is hiding underneath just waiting to be exposed. The kitchen, even with it's antique farmhouse sink, has been brought up-to-date with an open concept eating area and large island for easy entertaining. A half bath has been tucked under the stairs and laundry has been moved into a closet in the living room for convenience. * * Highest and Best Due by Sunday, August 29th at 6:00 pm * *

WAC
Woodland Agricultural Conservation District
It is the purpose of this district to encourage the preservation and improvement of rural and undeveloped areas of the Township through the conservation, protection and preservation of hillsides, woodlands, areas subject to environmentally sensitive conditions, agricultural land, water, and other natural resources while permitting reasonable residential and recreational development along with their accessory uses. There are no public sewerage facilities presently within Earl Township which are available for new development and the construction of new homes. Proposed subdivisions or land developments which cannot be served with individual on-site sewage disposal systems will necessitate the installation of a community system by the landowner or developer.
