Property Description
Iconic Deborah's Rock Farm!!!!! A landmark of Chester County's Historic Homes, this 88 acre farm has been in the same family's hands for almost 100 years! With high, long views of the 574 acres of the Natural Lands Trust Stroud Preserve and long frontage on the Brandywine River, this incredible 9,000 square foot 9 bedroom 5 bath stone Manor House has been beautifully preserved and lovingly maintained. The property boasts a tenant house, lovely attached 2 story 3 bedroom 2 bath apartment with gorgeous millwork, fireplace, hardwood floors, full kitchen and Georgian style living room. There is the original 3 story Bank barn, tractor shed and workshop along with fabulous in ground pool in a private glen near the house and springhouse. Walking, riding, fishing, kayaking, or just relaxing on the terraces overlooking The Preserve, this amazing one of a kind home is only available once in a blue moon. The Brandywine Conservancy Easement on the property allows for no sub-division but does allow for one additional dwelling of up to 10,00 square feet and is located on an idyllic private site on the farm. Acts 319 and 515 provide tax relief. The large country kitchen with commercial range and wood burning stove is perfectly located in the core of the house next to the formal dining room and the family room, over looking the gardens and Preserve. Seven fireplaces and original plastered walls, millwork and floors, brick floored entrance hall with sweeping stair case create an atmosphere of permanence and elegance while the other modern amenities include large laundry room on the main floor, attached large garage, upgraded zoned heating and electric and new cedar shake roof make it perfect for today's lifestyles. There are amazing architectural details such as brick landscaping drainage, incredible endless stone walls, bee hive oven, and stone HaHa in the paddock, making this farm truly a classic Chester County Gem. Deborah's Rock Farm has greeted guests to over 7 Chester County Days and is reached by a long tranquil tree lined drive which brings you in to the Past, Present and your Future.
