A Truly Rare Opportunity to Own a Historic Estate Rooted in the Earliest Chapters of Chester County History Steeped in the storied past of William Penn’s original 18th‑century land grant, this extraordinary 14+ acre estate is one of the few remaining properties that still carries the quiet dignity of its origins. Once part of the early Bacton Hill freedmen’s community and later owned for 50 years by Philadelphia’s British Consul General, the land itself holds a lineage of resilience, craftsmanship, and heritage that cannot be replicated. Today, the estate stands as a breathtaking fusion of old‑world romance and modern luxury — a fully realized historic sanctuary, meticulously restored with uncompromising craftmanship and vision -reimagined for contemporary living. This is a Generational Property. THE MAIN HOUSE: Approx 6000 SQ FT and COMPLETELY RENOVATED is nestled in mature trees, and surrounded by thousands of spring bulbs, and lush perennial gardens. Inside, the home has been transformed through a masterful collaboration between renowned architect Rene Hoffman, the current owner who has a history of renovating historical estates and exceptional Amish craftsmen, who completed the full renovation in 2023. Every room reflects a reverence for the home’s 200‑year narrative: exposed beams, deep stone walls, hand‑finished details, and fireplaces anchoring both the living and dining rooms. The gourmet kitchen is a work of art, designed by a former Michelin‑trained chef who cooked in three‑star restaurants in New York City and the south of France. Professional‑grade appliances, custom cabinetry, copper counters with integrated sinks, and a dramatic 2‑inch walnut island create a space that is both sculptural and deeply functional. A separate large pantry houses additional professional appliances and a hemlock butcher‑block counter. With 5 bedrooms and 4 baths, including two bedrooms that open directly onto the front porch with sweeping views of the grounds, the home offers both intimacy and scale. Marble, French Limestone, Belgian Bluestone and wide-plank pine floors, luxury finishes, and thoughtful architectural details elevate every space. THE BANK BARN: CIRCA 1821, is a LIVING PIECE OF HISTORY WITH MODERN INCOME. The original bank barn has been transformed into two beautifully finished apartments with long‑term tenants generating $5,600/month ($67,200/year) — income that can offset your mortgage while preserving the barn’s historic integrity. THE GUEST HOUSE: Approx 300 SQ FT PRIVATE RETREAT is a charming, newly renovated guest house/office which sits tucked away on the property, complete with its own kitchen and bathroom — ideal for visitors, extended family, or a private workspace. THE STUDIO / GARAGE: A FLEX SPACE WITH DRAMA -Set apart from the historic barn and main house, the Studio/Garage was built in 2012 to echo the timeless character of a traditional Chester County bank barn while delivering exceptional modern flexibility. The lower level offers a 1,200 SQ FT garage with its own electric service, generous capacity for three to five vehicles, and abundant storage for the practical needs of estate living. The 1,200 SQ FT main level has a spectacular open‑layout with soaring 20‑foot peaked ceilings, floor‑to‑ceiling windows, radiant heated floors, a kitchen area, and a spa‑like bath featuring an oversized rain shower. A secluded 1,750 SQ FT private deck extends from the studio, capturing sweeping views of the estate and creating an extraordinary setting for art, entertaining, creative work, or quiet reflection. THE LAND: 14 ACRES+, 3 PARCELS, AND A LEGACY OF PRESERVATION- The estate spans 14+ parklike acres, protected under Act 319, TAXES are Very Low $13,635. The grounds and location offer many possibilities: equestrian, gardens, space for a pool, privacy and yet close to everything. PUBLIC SEWER: Installed in 2026 to support 3 legal residential units.
