Step back in time with this unique 2-bed, 1-bath home, the oldest residential building in Lower Macungie Township, built in 1752. Nestled on 19 acres in the East Penn School District, this historic gem is accessed via a private road leading to a charming log and stone house that exudes 18th-century nostalgia. The original dining room and kitchen, along with hardwood floors, wooden beam ceilings, and stone walls, transport you to another era. The first floor also features a living room updated in 1891 and a sunroom that offers panoramic views of the expansive backyard. Upstairs, you'll find two cozy bedrooms and a full bath. The lower level houses a basement, perfect for additional storage. Outside, a 28x36 stone barn, also updated in 1891, stands as a reminder of the home's storied past. Enjoy the tranquility of the shaded outdoors with a gazebo, fish pond, and the soothing sounds of nature. This is more than just a home—it's a rare opportunity to own a piece of history, meticulously preserved to reflect its time period.

Rural District
The purpose of this district is to encourage the continuation of farming, maintain the existing low residential density, and to encourage the preservation of open space, wooded areas, steep slopes and stream valleys. Farming should be encouraged to continue and there should be no undue restrictions on agricultural operations. Single-family homes on scattered lots and small subdivisions are permitted, but large subdivisions are discouraged.
Directions: Route 100S. R on Chestnut/Sweetwood Dr - Turn R on Sheep Rock. Take the first driveway to the L, between stone house and the red barn. Follow the road to the house.
