Welcome to your dream homestead! This 4.53-acre property blends historic charm with modern updates, featuring a 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath Civil War–era farmhouse. Outside, you’ll find a 16x24 shop, 18x36 greenhouse, 12x16 shed, and 2-stall barn — plus fenced gardens with raised beds (electric and water at every site) and nearly 3 acres of fenced pasture, ready for animals or hobbies. Step inside to hardwood floors, exposed log walls, updated appliances, newer windows and doors, a modern water system, newer roof, and 200-amp electric service. Enjoy mornings on the covered deck and evenings soaking in the quiet countryside. All of this just minutes from Michaux State Forest, 15 minutes to historic downtown Gettysburg, and an easy commute to the Maryland line. Country living has never been so convenient!
