Nestled amid picturesque and peaceful Chester County horse country is this sweeping, stately 23-conserved acre estate, unlike any other. Welcome to Fox Quarry. The original part of this classic farmhouse-inspired estate was constructed in 1973, and over the years magnificent additions were built to match the original structure, and meticulous authentic period elements and upgrades were implemented to create a masterpiece of beauty. This spectacular property is now a breathtaking blend of nearly 7,000 sq. ft. The main residence was designed for entertaining with an expansive open floorplan with each room overlooking a different garden or terrace. Custom millwork and masonry are just the beginning of the craftsmanship you'll find here. Hardware from Ball & Ball and Baldwin brass, reclaimed brick and hardwood flooring offer all of the fine details you would expect in an estate of this nature. The guest cottage features 2 separate apartments each with its own terrace. A delightful potting shed, and a myriad of stone and brick terraces surrounded by professional verdant landscaping that’s set in an unequaled enclave. The soaring fieldstone barn constructed in 1998 has many different use possibilities. It is a brilliant fusion of yesteryear architectural features and modern must-have amenities. There is nothing left to do but simply appreciate this home’s one-of-a-kind attributes. Fox Quarry has an agricultural easement and is in Act 319. This Chester County location is easily accessible to Philadelphia and northern Delaware.
