This unique custom-built estate is situated on a wooded, 48+acre private lot located in the rolling foothills west of Gettysburg, PA -- a short 8-mile drive from the world-famous Civil War battlefield. This desirable location is minutes from quaint orchards and the popular Mason-Dixon Wine Trail.

Designed and built by a master carpenter, this comfortable cedar home includes a solid-wood interior featuring a large double chimney stone wall and wood stove and extensive cabinetry hand-crafted from oak, cedar and walnut. Other details include:

The property is also a woodworker’s delight, featuring a spacious carpentry shop with a large workbench, dust collection system, pellet stove and more. The building is also suitable for conversion to a lovely guest house.

Accessed via a paved, circular driveway, the home is set in a woodland paradise featuring:
• Oak, maple, cedar and other trees -- acres of timber that could be harvested and sold at the owner’s discretion
• Abundant wildlife including whitetail deer, wild turkeys, and more
• Rustic roadways for easy access to the entire property
