Property Description
Perched atop over ten picturesque acres in Rapho Township, this extraordinary one-of-a-kind log home offers a rare blend of history, craftsmanship, privacy, and natural beauty. Originally constructed with hand-carved 18th-century logs and beams, the residence was meticulously relocated from the Mahantango Valley and thoughtfully rebuilt to preserve its timeless character while embracing modern comfort. Featured in Early American Life and Country Gardens magazines, the property is a remarkable showcase of authentic architectural heritage set amid sweeping farmland and meadow views. Rich with warmth and authenticity, the home offers an atmosphere that feels both historic and timeless. Original hand-hewn logs, exposed beams, pumpkin pine flooring, antique doors, vintage hardware, and period details throughout create a remarkable sense of character. Soft candle-style wall sconces throughout the residence further enhance the home's Early American ambiance, complementing the handcrafted architectural elements and creating a warm, inviting glow. Multiple living and gathering spaces provide flexibility for both everyday living and entertaining, while two wood-burning fireplaces serve as stunning focal points that reinforce the home's historic charm and cozy appeal. The gourmet kitchen blends modern luxury with period-inspired character, featuring premium Viking appliances including a never-used 48-inch Viking Tuscany range, abundant workspace, and beautiful views of the surrounding property. The home offers four spacious bedrooms and four full baths, including two private suites on the second floor and two charming third-floor bedrooms with vaulted ceilings. A well-appointed lower level offers additional living space, complete with a family room, full bath, and a second kitchen equipped with a range, microwave, dishwasher, and refrigerator. Throughout the home, large windows with window seats showcase panoramic views of the meadows, gardens, and surrounding countryside. Outside, the property unfolds into a gardener's paradise. Professionally designed landscaping surrounds the home with natural stone pathways, continuously blooming perennial gardens, vegetable and rose gardens, a charming chicken coop, and a breathtaking waterfall pond enhanced with upgraded lighting, filtration, and automatic water replenishment systems. Antique stone pillars, gates, troughs, and outbuildings are thoughtfully incorporated throughout the grounds. Two streamsLittle Chiques Creek and Brubaker Runborder the property, enhancing its peaceful setting. The 10.02-acre property consists of three combined parcels. Portions of the acreage are also tillable, offering flexibility for agricultural use and reduced lawn maintenance. Significant recent improvements further enhance the property's value and stewardship, including extensive tree removal and woodland management, conversion of meadows into lush lawn areas across approximately five acres, installation of matching gutter guards, and comprehensive well system upgrades including a newly fracked residential well, new well pump, booster pump, and whole-house filtration system. The property also benefits from two geothermal heat pump systems, separate wells for household and irrigation use, and enrollment in Clean & Green. Offering exceptional privacy while remaining conveniently located just minutes from major highways, shopping, dining, and everyday conveniences, this remarkable estate provides easy access to Lancaster City, Lititz, Hershey, and Harrisburg, while presenting a rare opportunity to own a piece of Pennsylvania history. A truly irreplaceable property where historic character, natural beauty, and modern convenience come together in perfect harmony.
