Rediscover Old Lehigh serenity - across the covered bridge, past the pond & meandering Jordan - at a circa 1870 farmhouse where wisdom is gained from natural surroundings & pleasure from pursuits of quiet enjoyment: fly fishing, gardening, baking & mending, animal husbandry or just reading a book in the comfy recliner. The discerning eye will note its structure: built solid & strong on 2 well tended acres w/ extensive paved driveway, large storage barn, heated summer kitchen & trails to game lands beyond. Integrity is born of re-engineered roof (plus gutters & downspouts) new reinforced walls, replacement windows, refurbished wide plank floors, sound septic & water systems. Here, the discerning soul will sense a return to something precious & enduring. Zoned rural conservation in Lowhill Twp - the property location is enhanced by high end neighboring subdivisions yet unto itself is independently private - away yet close to everything. Come see! Includes Home warranty & electric fence.
