You will be surrounded by fabled riding trails, hunt clubs, stables, golf courses, and any recreational facility you desire, as well as being in close proximity to renowned schools, trains, dining, shopping, Center City Philadelphia, 90 minutes from NYC and close to Philadelphia International Airport. Don't miss this opportunity to be the next stewards of this historic treasure! New Septic system just installed!

RU
Rural District
RU Rural Districts are intended to facilitate agricultural, conservation, recreation and other open space purposes; to protect and preserve prime agricultural land and the continued viability of agricultural security areas; to recognize the relationship and continuity of development with viable agricultural operations; to protect and preserve natural and historic resources; and to promote and provide for a rational pattern of Township growth. Accordingly, the districts contain use and area regulations which provide for farming and very low density dwellings; discourage premature and scattered, isolated higher density development which is difficult to service adequately, yet make provision for higher density development under given conditions; facilitate the conservation of agricultural, creek valley and woodland areas; and facilitate the conservation and proper utilization of groundwater supplies and control of surface water flooding
