Unique two home property on 9.49 acres in South Londonderry Twp, Lebanon County.
The property consists of a custom home, a late 1800's farmhouse that is move-in ready
with detached garage, a bank barn, and outbuildings. The first home was custom
designed to include passive solar heating, using the many windows and brick features to
store heat, while providing abundant natural light and views of the countryside. The
main level, with an at grade entrance, features a large living room with a vaulted ceiling
and balcony above. The formal dining room also has a wall of windows. There is a large
eat-in kitchen with adjoining second story deck overlooking the wooded areas.. A bedroom/bath suite is also on this level with a private sunspace. The upper-level features two office areas. The lower level
is also at grade and features a family room facing the energy capturing corridor with
curved windows which connects the bedroom suite to the right and its own private bath
and possible exercise or playroom. There are also two bedrooms to the left which share a bath.
The original log farmhouse with living room, kitchen and breakfast room was expanded
in 1983 with a main level primary suite, large walk-in-closet, laundry and deck. The 2nd
floor features 3 bedrooms and a full bathroom. The entire home was just painted, and
the carpets replaced. The charming original wood floors were left uncarpeted. There is a
pond with springhouse below the farmhouse. The farmhouse was used for parents to
live close while having their own space.
The bank barn is perfect for animals and equipment storage plus having an office which
is a special get-away for contemplating the world. Each house has its own well and
septic system. The acreage is bordered on one side by a small creek and is zoned
agricultural. It has been maintained for walking, haying, and protecting native flowering
plants (over 250) and native trees (over 45) and birds in the open spaces, wetlands, and
woods.
This unique property offers opportunities to live in ways which are rarely available in
these times.
