Property Description

Located just minutes from the Maryland line and I-83, this 3.85-acre farmette offers a rare combination of usable land, substantial barn infrastructure, and convenient access to both York and the Baltimore metro area. The large 1880s bank barn features hand- and machine-hewn beams, stone walls, solid flooring, and generous interior space suitable for livestock, hay storage, equipment, or workshop use. A separate three-bay barn provides additional covered storage and includes an enclosed space ideal for chickens, small livestock, or feed storage. Both barns were re-sided in 2011 with 1½-inch hemlock. The smaller barn received a new tin roof in 2011, and the bank barn roof was repainted and sealed. The house was re-roofed with lifetime architectural shingles. The property includes approximately 1½ acres of flat, fenced pasture currently suited for alpacas and easily adaptable for goats, sheep, or other small livestock. The entire property is fenced, offering security for animals and dogs. A spring house with an underground spring, root cellar, smoke house, and original stone summer kitchen enhances both function and authenticity. The land offers a balanced mix of pasture, open meadow, wooded areas, and established gardens with raspberry and blueberry bushes. The setting feels rural and private, yet shopping, healthcare, breweries, coffee shops, the rail trail, and commuter routes are all nearby — a rare advantage for buyers seeking acreage without isolation. The 1880 farmhouse retains original heart-of-pine floors, plaster walls, transoms, historic hardware, and a wood-burning fireplace. The eat-in kitchen includes a walk-in pantry, island, new stove and refrigerator, and a fireplace. The primary bedroom features 9-foot ceilings and an adjoining bathroom, added in 2011, with a clawfoot tub and separate shower. Two additional large bedrooms overlook the pond across the street. This is a unique opportunity to own nearly four usable acres with substantial barn infrastructure in southern York County — minutes to Maryland, yet benefiting from Pennsylvania taxes.
