Property Description

Paradise-Found! Rare is it that such a large piece of awe-inspiring land (72+ preserved acres) with unrivaled views & a masterfully crafted home comes on the market in North-East PA. Welcome to the recently created B&B, Chestnuthill Countryside Manor, also home to Pohopoco Creek Alpacas. A 2400’ paved driveway leads to a 6400’ French-inspired stone estate with 5 bedrooms, 3 ½ bathrooms, 4 car garage, in-ground pool & 6 stall barn. A private setting with stunning views seen from just about every window. An impressive entry with massive double French doors sets the stage for the magnificence of this home. The foyer is spacious and has a spiral wooden staircase with wrought iron banisters. It opens to a dramatic great-room with timber rafters complementing a soaring tongue & groove ceiling. A 2-story stone fireplace flanked by built-in stone log huts, porcelain tiled floors & arched windows complete this large room. Adjacent is a unique polygon room with a rustic log & plaster wet-bar cleverly incorporated into this perfect entertainment space. A near-by half bath is decorated with a beautiful painted mural & nice fixtures. Radiant heat Terracotta tile floors, granite counter tops, tile backsplashes & a walk-in pantry are some of the features of the gourmet custom kitchen. It’s equipped with a Viking stove, double ovens & a Subzero refrigerator. The formal dining room has a kitchen & foyer entry. French doors open from the foyer into a spacious sunken office w/ handsome custom wood paneling & a decorative mosaic design in the middle of the tiled floor. Craftsmanship & character continue to the upper level with an elongated loft enhanced by wood & wrought-iron banisters. Another vantage point of the great-room & raftered ceiling had to be the goal of this design. The master bedroom suite enjoys privacy being at one end of the corridor. It has an abundance of windows, a balcony, 2 large walk-in closets & luxurious bathroom with a radiant heat floor . Located at the other end are 4 spacious bedrooms which are serving as guestrooms for the B&B. 2 Jack & Jill bathrooms create a semi-private bathroom for guests. The laundry room is conveniently located on this floor. A 2nd staircase leads back down to a hall with a separate entrance. The barn has 6 box stalls with upper bars as dividers so horses can socialize & a sizable loft for hay storage. Aisleway & wash/grooming area. Attached is a dry-lot that opens to larger pastures. A small building has been converted to a cute boutique that sells Alpaca fleece products. There is a run-in shed in a small paddock. A large pole building can be used for equipment storage, cars, supplies or tools. A creek runs through the lower portion of the property. An older barn used for storage is located near the road by the driveway entrance. One of the finest views & settings I’ve encountered in all my years of brokerage. Eagles can be seen flying to their nest in the woods. This is a very special property. Continue on with the B&B, expand to a vineyard, a horse breeding or training farm or simply enjoy as a second home oasis. Seller is an inactive real estate broker - license is in escrow.
