Perched on a commanding hillside at the end of a private drive, this custom-built estate by Barry Hershey is the crown jewel of Autumn Leaf Estates—a luxury enclave surrounded by preserved farmland offering ultimate privacy, timeless views, and refined living across nearly 7,000 sq ft. Blending European architectural elements with modern craftsmanship, the home welcomes you through a turreted stone entry and into a soaring two-story foyer. The dramatic great room features vaulted ceilings, a carved limestone fireplace, wainscotting, and arched windows framing uninterrupted mountain and farmland vistas. Designed for grand entertaining, the home includes a 2-story octagonal library with built-in bookcases, a turret dining room beneath a crystal chandelier, and a 2,000 sq ft flagstone terrace with fountain, hot tub, gas grilling line, and over 100 feet of al fresco entertaining space. The custom kitchen is outfitted with all new appliances, including Wolf gas cooking, Café refrigerator, a large walk-in pantry, and an adjoining coffee station. A large mudroom connects to the oversized 3 car garage complete with 20 feet of new floor-to-ceiling cabinetry. The luxurious primary suite offers tray ceilings, dual walk-in closets, a spa-like bath with soaking tub and chandelier, large walk in shower and breathtaking arched windows overlooking farmland and the mountains beyond. A completely renovated in-law quarters adds versatility and privacy—featuring a brand-new kitchen, new bath, new gas fireplace, French door to the terrace, and a newly added den that expands the square footage. The walk-out lower level is built with 10-foot ceilings and superior walls, and includes 2,000+ sq ft of entertaining space, a third kitchenette, media and dining areas, two large bedrooms, and a shared oversized bath—all opening to a second flagstone patio through French doors. Professionally landscaped with 100+ boxwoods, 100+ perennials, hollies, and evergreens, this exceptional property also features all-new appliances, a new well pump with upgraded electric, and a whole-house security system. Situated minutes from Pa Turnpike, shopping, fine dining, and a quaint town—yet nestled in complete privacy among conserved farmland—this estate represents the pinnacle of timeless luxury and thoughtful design.
