The walls are plastered with all-natural paint, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The antique hardware throughout the house adds to the historical feel, while modern amenities like a Vermont Castings stove provide comfort and charm. The home was even featured in Builder Magazine for its focus on healthy living, with a design that promotes natural and sustainable materials. When the home is owned by the builder -- you know it is truly a work of craftsmanship, and customization created with a true love and appreciation. Overall, this one-of-a-kind home on . 88 acres is sure to impress those who appreciate history, natural beauty, and a healthy lifestyle. Nestled in the Lancaster County farmland, yet located less than 10 minutes from Morgantown, and the PA Turnpike, Rt. 23 and Rt. 10 -- Shady Maple Farm market is just down the street!

OS/C

Open Space/Conservation District

The OS/C-Open Space/Conservation District seeks to preserve and protect open areas, essential watersheds, and woodlands from intensive development by limiting land uses to those which do not degrade the environmental quality of lands within the District. This District is characterized by sparse residential land uses and contains provisions which seek to provide additional protection of rural residences from the impacts of other non-residential uses. Larger minimum lot sizes are indicated because public sewer and water facilities are not planned for this District.

Permitted uses

Agriculture
