Welcome to 4217 Mill Road, also known as Les Bocages d'Chatain (The Grove of the Chestnuts)—a charming 12-acre estate nestled in the heart of Coopersburg, offering the perfect balance of history, comfort, and natural beauty. For the past 38 years, this beloved farm has been thoughtfully cared for by the same owners, and now, it’s ready to welcome a new chapter. Steeped in history, the property was once part of the Yoder homestead and boasts a farmhouse built circa 1880, full of character and timeless appeal. Every corner of the 4635 sf home tells a story, with deep window sills, stone accents, wide plank hardwood floors, and original built-in farmhouse cabinetry. While thoughtfully updated with modern amenities, the home's rich historical charm has been preserved. This extraordinary property features an impressive collection of outbuildings, each brimming with character and functionality. At its heart stands a magnificent three-level, circa-1800s Bank Barn, a true architectural gem showcasing timeless charm. From its hand numbered beams to its multiple horse stalls and stone façade, this barn is a stunning testament to historic craftsmanship. For the car enthusiast, the modern three-car garage is a dream come true. Not only does it provide ample space for vehicles, but it also includes a fully finished office space above, complete with electricity and heating—perfect for a private retreat or workspace. Additional outbuildings offer even more versatility, including a spacious tractor shed with a second-floor loft, a classic smokehouse, and a functional greenhouse. Each structure adds to the property's rich history and practical appeal. Beyond the buildings, the landscape is equally breathtaking. A serene, oversized pond invites peaceful afternoons with a picnic, while a picturesque stream meanders through the property, nurturing a thriving ecosystem of native wildlife and lush vegetation. The home’s back paver patio is a true oasis, featuring a charming gazebo, a tranquil pond, and thoughtfully designed landscaping. Adding to the property’s uniqueness is a rare grove of American Chestnut trees, a remarkable nod to the land’s natural beauty and heritage. With its unparalleled blend of history, modern convenience, and breathtaking scenery, this one-of-a-kind property is a rare find in a fantastic location!

Suburban Residential Zone
The purpose of this Zone is to accommodate medium density residential uses in areas with sufficient infrastructure to support such densities. Selected locations provide for the accommodation of future developments in accordance with the Township’s Comprehensive Plan and acknowledge the location of existing land uses with these suburban characteristics.; This Zone seeks to permanently preserve open spaces characterized by woodlands, steep slopes and stream valleys. In addition this Zone will promote the preservation and enhancement of historical and cultural resources that contribute to the character and heritage of the community. Conservation design developments are encouraged to offer the greatest density and design flexibility so that proposed developments can partner in the protection of sensitive and/or valuable natural and cultural features of the site. Conventional developments that do not engage the conservation design process will be subject to density penalty.
