Privately situated on 55+ wooded acres, and with views of two gorgeous contiguous ponds, this highly unique home, originally an 1850's farmhouse, has been expanded and improved over the years with a main bedroom suite by master craftsman Eric Johnson. Upon entering the property via a long, paved driveway, you will be captivated by its gorgeous ponds, used for years for swimming, fishing, boating and enjoyment! And then the comfortable cape-style home with inviting covered front porch greets you! Upon entering this 4 Bedroom, 2.1 Bath home, immediately you walk into a surprising and dramatic 2-story paneled great room with balcony overlook, built in 1970, which has a vaulted ceiling with skylights, and a commanding stone walk-in fireplace, the central focal point of this exciting room and core of this home. A corner wet bar with granite counters and bar stools allows for casual entertaining. The original dining room and a more formal parlor with fireplace with built in decorative shelving are close by, and also a powder room. The updated kitchen is outfitted with maple cabinetry, granite counters, and leads to a wonderful solarium/breakfast room, surrounded by windows and basking in sunlight, with access to a lovely patio of paver tiles, wall surround, and hot tub. A utility/laundry is nearby for convenient everyday use. A newer first floor main bedroom suite has sliding glass doors and its own deck, with views of the dramatic ponds, along with ample closets and a full bath with tub, vanity, & linen closet. Upstairs, 3 bedrooms share a hallway bath, and then a fun, large balcony area overlooking the Great Room, presently used for crafts and a quiet respite for reading and relaxing. It could also be a wonderful space for a home office. A dry basement allows for storage and mechanicals, with a bulkhead for access to the outdoors. A 3-car two story garage is a bank garage, with a much sought after 2nd floor workshop with wood stove, double doors, and a glazed paver driveway for lawn, tractor, and RV storage. But the beautiful and secluded outdoor setting is the hallmark of this remarkable, unpreserved property, with its ponds, nature, and utter peace and quiet. Convenient to major roads, shopping and Council Rock schools, this unique opportunity has zoned cast iron baseboard heat, air conditioning, central security and Fios! A rare find and a truly magic setting!

Conservation Management District
The Conservation Management District consists of valuable natural resources such as woodlands, agricultural soils, floodplains, wetlands, aquifer recharge areas, and areas of steep slopes. The Conservation Management District is dependent on groundwater as the primary water source. Agriculture is a significant and an important use of land in the Conservation Management District. For these reasons, uses are permitted in both type and intensity which provide the maximum opportunities for open space in order to protect the natural resources and encourage the continuation of farming activities. Single-family detached, single-family detached cluster, and performance subdivisions are permitted, provided sewage disposal methods shall replenish the water table in accordance with the wastewater policies of the Joint Municipal Comprehensive Plan and the Sewage Facilities Plan Act 537 of the participating municipality where building or development is proposed. The use and ownership of open space within residential developments shall be designed to achieve the purposes noted above and to be compatible with other uses in the Conservation Management District.
