Heralded by an allee of statuesque trees, this luxuriously private 200 acre estate with rolling pastures, fields, ponds, woods and views of distant mountains reminds one of a classic horse farm in Middleburg , Virginia. This glorious family compound is a world of privilege and privacy centered around a magnificent l713 stone manor house with stunning views over rolling lawns and terraced gardens. An impeccably restored 1740 antique cottage, itself a small masterpiece, is adjacent to a hard surface tennis court. A pool and pool house, ideal for summer entertaining, are sequestered in a cloistered garden with smashing mountain views. A stately six stall Saddle Bag Bank Barn housing its own beautiful apartment could be converted to a fabulous space for large scale entertaining. A second guesthouse, three sparkling ponds, greenhouses and running sheds complete this unforgettable property. Country life at its finest, only 90 minutes from New York or 60 minutes from Philadelphia.
