92 Covered Bridge Rd, Oley, PA 19547

This place in ancient, at least in American context. Built in 1782 on a farmstead established in 1714 on the banks of the Manatawny, the Yoder Haus is massively built of stone and timber. It is as plumb and square as the day it was built. The exterior is notable for the rose colored scribed stucco and the steeply pitched roof. Thankfully, the interior is largely untouched, un-fooled-around with. Original hardware, doors, floors, windows, etc. remain. With a number of early outbuildings, the property is an artifact in its own right. The setting on the creek affords privacy, a spectacular view of the covered bridge and enormous sycamore and silver maple trees. NOTE: the place needs work and, given all of the above, it is well worth the effort. A certified organic farm, the property offers a turn-key vegetable operation w/ several greenhouses and equipment including a walk-in cooler.
