Step back in time and embrace the peaceful lifestyle you've been dreaming of with this 4-acre farmette in scenic Washington Township, approximately 8 miles south of Dillsburg. Rich in history and character, this stone farmhouse dates back to the 1800s, with portions believed to originate from the 18th century. From the moment you arrive, you'll appreciate the deep window sills, exposed log walls, and the warmth that only a historic home can offer. Whether you're looking for a hobby farm, horse property, homestead, or simply room to enjoy the countryside, this property offers endless possibilities. The classic bank barn features a hay loft, electricity, and water. There is also a run-in shed, fencing, and gates. There is also plenty of open space for gardens, orchards, or anyone ready to embrace a more self-sufficient lifestyle. One of the home's most inviting features is the spectacular wrap-around covered porch overlooking the surrounding country roads and pastures, where you can relax with your morning coffee and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature. Frequent visits from deer, wild turkey, and other wildlife remind you that you've truly escaped the hustle and bustle of everyday life. Inside, the updated kitchen offers upgraded countertops and newer appliances, blending modern convenience with historic charm. The spacious living room showcases exposed log walls, while the comfortable family room is centered around a cozy pellet stove, creating the perfect gathering space throughout the seasons. Upstairs, you'll find the bedrooms, bathrooms, and convenient second-floor laundry, along with access to a walk-up attic. The primary bedroom features its own private second-story balcony, offering the perfect place to unwind under a sky filled with stars and enjoy the quiet beauty of country living. Numerous recent improvements provide added peace of mind, including newer roofs, some replacement windows, fresh paint, upgraded kitchen finishes, and two new septic tanks installed in preparation for the sale. If you've been dreaming of keeping your own animals instead of paying boarding fees, starting a hobby farm, growing your own food, or simply enjoying the slower pace of rural life, this exceptional Washington Township farmette is ready to welcome you home. Move to the country, reconnect with nature, and begin writing your next chapter in this truly special historic property.
