Some spend years searching for a setting like this: 6.5 acres of flat, open, usable land with sweeping countryside views that feel increasingly rare. Space to cultivate, room to breathe, and a landscape that makes the entire property unforgettable. Once used as an orchard, the grounds offer ample room to grow your own vegetables, pursue small-scale farming, or simply enjoy the beauty of open land. Saffron patches and four large black walnut trees enrich the setting, while an expansive 1,800-square-foot pole barn offers outstanding space for a workshop, equipment, storage, and hobbies. The approximately 2,200-square-foot home complements its surroundings with an open layout, exposed wood posts and beams, a huge pantry, and new sliding glass doors that open to the beautiful acreage beyond. Designed by Vermont-based Green Mountain Homes, the home incorporates passive solar heating and natural cooling principles. The construction manual is available upon request. All but three windows have been replaced within the last five years, with Andersen windows comprising the remaining three. A roof with a 50-year rating was installed approximately 10 years ago. Located in Ralpho Township, this is an exceptional opportunity to own the kind of usable acreage and remarkable views that make a long search worthwhile.
The primary purpose of the A Zone is to promote the continuation and preservation of agricultural activities in those areas most suitable for such activities. Areas contained within the A Zone have been specifically identified as possessing valuable and nonrenewable natural and cultural resources. The A Zone also intends to protect and stabilize the Township's viable agricultural economy by limiting the nonagricultural development of agricultural properties and eliminating uses that are incompatible with agricultural operations, but permitting limited agricultural support businesses. Consequently, nonagricultural-uses are limited and any future occupants in the A Zone must be willing to accept the impacts associated with normal agricultural operations and practices, and related businesses. Finally, the provisions of the A Zone have been specifically formulated to further the objectives of the MPC which provides that local zoning ordinances shall be designed to preserve prime agriculture and farm land considering topography, soil type and classification, and present use.
