You will be surrounded by fabled riding trails, hunt clubs, stables, golf courses, and any recreational facility you desire, as well as being in close proximity to renowned schools, trains, dining, shopping, Center City Philadelphia, 90 minutes from NYC and close to Philadelphia International Airport. Don't miss this opportunity to be the next stewards of this historic treasure! New Septic system just installed!
