Over 46 acres of seclusion! Nestled in the hills of Eastern Berks County at the end of a long driveway is this charming late 18th Century stone farmhouse with a wonderful addition that offers a stunning great room and huge master suite that includes a totally renovated master bath with slipper tub and tiled 4' shower. The kitchen has exposed beams, granite counters, tile backsplash, new appliances along with cabinetry that was recently painted by a local artist who specializes in decorative finishes. A Dutch door leads out to the delightful porch. The dining room is also in the original part of the home with its wide window sills and a wood burning insert in the brick fireplace. A staircase leads to two charming bedrooms and a shared bath. The great room is breathtaking and boasts soaring beamed ceilings, a full wall of pointed fieldstone and another of windows that look out to the small spring fed pond. At the back of the room is a highly efficient pellet stove that will heat the space even in the coldest of weather. The large laundry/mudroom and a separate, well appointed half bath complete the main floor. At the top of the main stairway there is a gallery that runs on two sides overlooking the great room and leads to the master suite on the left and to the two additional bedrooms on the right. In addition to the main house there is an excellent guest house or studio/office. The overall space offers an open area with access to a small deck and a separate bedroom and bathroom...currently un-heated the addition of a wood/pellet stove or electric heat would complete its use year round. For the equestrian, this property offers an excellent 6 stall barn with tack room and a center aisle, wash stall and access to the turnout area. There is about 25 acres of fenced pastures and open ground, 3 run-in sheds and a recently expanded 100-200 riding ring and maintained trails are some of the attributes of this property. The views from the top of the upper pastures have to be seen to be believed. Come and experience the magic.
