Description

Find your balance and revel in everything nature has to offer at this incomparable, multi-faceted 34.4 acre property circa 1800 that was meticulously rebuilt, revived, and loved by the current owner. Explore the wealth of bespoke details, construction quality, and finishes that only an original log cabin restored with keeping both the original time period and today's living in mind would afford. The acreage provides 2 large pastures, one that has consistently been farmed organically for hay, and both with large run-ins. One pasture has an automatic waterer. The bank barn has an authentic, amazingly constructed timber frame with an upper-level hay storage area (or even transform it into an event venue or gathering space!), and 4 large stalls with plenty of ceiling clearance, the smallest being approximately 12x13 and one of the largest 15x12. There is a smaller paddock with 3 board fencing, an outdoor brick wash stall, a tractor/implement parking area, and 150x65 bluestone mix riding arena.Sitting in a grove with diverse trees and foliage, the farmhouse exterior features a stone patio, rear ground level porch, and wide staircase to the entrance. Ascending to the expansive front porch, notice the finish work details, stained glass transoms, double front doors, and take a moment to listen to the quiet all around you as you look out over the flora and fauna filled environment that surrounds the home. Inside, the cabin walls have been thoughtfully removed and original log beams are left for support and carry the aesthetic of the entire home, bringing your eye to the bespoke hardware and hinges, door frames, trim work, built in shelving - everything is custom.Sunlight fills the combination living area, dining area, and kitchen. The wood flooring is accentuated by the lighter palette throughout, including the built-in cabinetry and window seat in the dining area, cozy living area, and the kitchen which features a tile floor, stainless farmhouse sink, and custom wood counters and cabinetry. The first floor is completed by a powder room with a hand painted countryside mural. Upstairs offer 3 bedrooms with amazing natural light and hardwood floors throughout. One bedroom features a paned french door entry and access to the walk up stairs to the attic, which has 3 dormer windows and could easily be finished into additional living space or a primary suite. The impressive bathroom features custom tilework, vanity, wainscotting, and storage, and includes a large walk-in shower and separate bath tub. There is also a reading nook/desk area at the top of the stairs featuring built-in book shelves. The need-to-appreciate details are too lengthy to list.This expansive property also features an extremely well crafted detached 3-car garage featuring walk-up stairs and a deck leading to a living space above. The third bay of the garage is finished with drywall, radiant heat flooring, and a rough-in for a half bath. The living space has a large living and dining area featuring both front and rear decks, well appointed kitchenette with granite counters and ample cabinetry, 2 spacious bedrooms, a full bath with tub/shower combo, and washer/dryer. Minutes from Union Mills Equestrian Trails and just a short drive to South Hanover, PA, and Westminster, MD, for shopping, groceries, and other amenities.Whether your dream is to homestead, have your horses or livestock at home, host events, have a multigenerational property, or simply have a retreat that aligns you with yesteryear and immerses you in tranquility and nature, 172 Leppo Rd is calling you!
