About this home
SUBURBAN FARMETTE ON THE SITE OF AN 1800s TAVERN. Fresh eggs in the morning, fruit from your own trees, and a red barn out back, all just minutes from everything in Mechanicsburg. This 3.38-acre Monroe Township property is the farmette people longingly search for but rarely find: level, open, and already set up to grow, raise, and harvest and prosper.
The classic barn, the massive detached garage, a charming cottage, and several outbuildings are ready for animals, equipment, and projects, with electricity in the barn, the chicken coop, and the outbuilding beside the run, plus 30-amp service in the detached garage. The coop is move-in ready for your flock, with a predator-proof run, automatic feeder and waterer, and a heated water system for winter. Zoned agricultural, so bring your bees, poultry, and livestock such as goats and sheep (please verify all permitted and special uses with Monroe Township). Mature apple, peach, and chestnut trees and Concord grape vines are already established, joined by young cherry, pawpaw, and elderberry, with wide-open ground waiting for your garden or orchard. Water lines already run to the garden, and the nearby cottage makes a perfect potting shed and harvest area. Start your seedlings in the spring, then gather and prep for canning your harvests.
The home lives as well as the land. Over 3,000 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 3.5 baths, including ensuite bedrooms on BOTH floors, ideal for multi-generational living or guests. Gorgeous gleaming maple hardwood floors run throughout. Off the foyer, a flex room with a wall of built-ins works as a study, home office, or art/craft room. The formal dining room and the open kitchen with granite island flow into a living room warmed by a brick gas fireplace. The first-floor primary suite has a soaking tub, a tiled walk-in shower, and its own door to the rear deck with a very private hot tub oasis. Upstairs are three more bedrooms, two full baths, and two more flex spaces. From the living room step out to the covered composite deck and a large privacy-fenced yard. The full walkout basement is ready to finish, complete with rough-in bath plumbing, if even more space is wanted.
Economical dual-zone geothermal heating and cooling and a hybrid geothermal/electric water heater keep operating costs low. Park in the oversized 2-car attached garage, and bring the RV, the tractor, and all your other toys: the detached garage holds 6+ vehicles with RV-height clearance.
A hand-carved eagle near the road marks the site of the Spread Eagle Tavern, 1814. Be the envy of friends and family as you host in every season, from summer cookouts on the covered deck to winter holidays by the fire. Picture a lazy summer float down the Yellow Breeches, a short distance away and known for kayaking, tubing, and world-renowned trout fishing, ending with a campfire and a campout for dozens in your own backyard. Cumberland Valley Schools. Appraised well over list price earlier this summer. Properties like this do not come up often making this a truly 'once-in-a-lifetime' opportunity....
