Enjoy the best of country living just minutes from Lancaster City! This exceptional 3-acre farmette with a 2200 sq ft ranch home feels like your own private park. You will enjoy three distinct settings, each with its own character: the welcoming home and gardens, a secluded inground pool retreat, and a picturesque equestrian area on the hillside. Zoned for three horses, the property features fenced pastures with electric fencing, an automatic waterer, a round pen, and two barns with electricity. Whether you dream of keeping horses, raising chickens, or simply enjoying the beauty and possibilities of country living, this property offers room to make it your own. The spacious 2,200-square-foot ranch home combines comfortable one-floor living with distinctive architectural details. Soaring 10-foot ceilings enhance the living room and kitchen/dining area, while beautiful curly maple hardwood floors extend throughout the living room, hallway, and bedrooms. The inviting kitchen features granite countertops and ample workspace. The primary suite includes a private bath with granite shower and double sinks, plus an adjoining, light-filled room with rustic wood walls and access to its own patio—perfect for an office, music room, or personal retreat. Two additional bedrooms and a second full bath complete the bedroom wing. A versatile den or office with its own patio entrance connects to the dining area through French doors. The expansive finished basement is an entertainer's delight, featuring an extraordinary artistically pieced granite floor, granite-topped bar, recreation and gathering spaces, plus a large separate bonus room and abundant storage. Outside, enjoy two inviting patios and a beautifully situated inground pool, tucked into its own secluded setting between the home and equestrian grounds. A breezy deck overlooks the pool and affords panoramic property views. A standout feature is the substantial detached, fully finished and insulated studio/workshop, complete with abundant natural light, overhead lighting, and window-unit air conditioning. Ideal for artists, craftspeople, woodworkers, or hobbyists, it also includes an attached garden storage area with exterior access. Major updates include a new roof (2025), HVAC (2025), water heater (2025), well pump and wiring (2021), and two stall horse shelter (2016). With its blend of natural beauty, equestrian amenities, exceptional creative spaces, and convenient access to Lancaster and beyond, this one-of-a-kind property offers a lifestyle as versatile as your imagination.
A truly outstanding property just south of the city that boasts breathtaking views from anywhere on the nearly 3 acres of tranquil bliss.

Residential Zone
This Zone provides opportunity for low density residential growth that serves to meet the Township’s projected fair share of its housing demand. This Zone permits the continuation of low density residential uses as infill to existing development areas where no public utility service is anticipated in the foreseeable future. Larger lot sizes are used to provide sufficient space to install on-site sewer and water facilities. Environmentally-based design provisions promote preservation and enhancement of the natural and cultural resources that contribute to the character and heritage of the Township.
