Nestled on a serene 1.7-acre lot in the picturesque hills of Lower Heidelberg Township, this 1850s farmhouse offers an incredible opportunity to own a piece of history. Investors and handy buyers, check this one out! This project has been started for you with new electrical, a new roof, new flooring, and extensive interior renovations—including taking much of the structure down to its original logs. This property is ready for the right buyer to complete the dream. The main home features 3 bedrooms, 1.5 baths, a spacious living room, and a large eat-in kitchen. Upstairs, you'll find three private bedrooms (one has been converted to a laundry room) and a full bath, with additional storage in the walk-up attic and unfinished basement. A detached 1-bedroom, 1-bath guest house provides a flexible space, perfect for extended family, visitors, a rental, or a home office. Additional outbuildings include a smokehouse and a two-story springhouse with a workshop or studio area. Just a 3-minute drive from Blue Marsh Lake, this location is ideal for outdoor enthusiasts, offering boating, hiking, and stunning views year-round. Set in a stunning area among other gorgeous homes, this property has immense potential and is a rare find.
