Enjoy the wildlife from the front porch of this beautiful stone farmhouse tucked away on 16 private acres. The home sits well off a quiet road, providing a peaceful, tranquil setting. The land features rolling hills, an ideal combination of woods and open fields, springs, and a wet-weather stream. Outbuildings include a large bank barn, smaller pole barn, spring house, and chicken coop. A fenced-in pasture connects to the pole barn for your horses or other farm animals. Ask about neighborhood trail network adjoins the property. Inside, plenty of natural light enters through deep-silled windows. Heat your home for free using firewood from the property ~ the woodstove heats the entire house. Or use the efficient oil furnace. Upstairs you~ll find two bedrooms, an adjoining room that could easily be used as a third bedroom, a spacious bathroom, and access to the attic for storage. Property is currently in the Clean and Green program for lower taxes. If you want to get away from it all yet still be within a half hour of York, Harrisburg, or the West Shore, this could be the one!
