This well planned, efficient facility has a great location with easy access to I-81, I-78, the Pennsylvania Turnpike, and is only 35 minutes northwest of Allentown. It is just one hour to Pocono Downs, two hours to Chester, Freehold, and the Meadowlands. Penn National and Philadelphia Park are also easily accessible. The property would be ideal for a Pennsylvania satellite breeding facility or would afford numerous locations to build a main house with exceptionally beautiful views of the surrounding countryside.
The main 71x36 barn is concrete block construction and features thirteen 12x10 stalls. The custom stalls are tongue and groove with metal hardware and sliding doors. Seven of the stalls have exterior access to 10x22 mare turnout areas. The other 6 stalls have removable partitions and easily convert into three 12x20 foaling stalls. Other amenities include a 12 ft. aisle, 200 amp electric service, individual stall lights on a timer system, all wiring in conduit, and a 3 year old roof with Elk architectural shingles. On the south side of the barn overlooking the pastures is an 11x72 overhang. Attached to the main barn is a 54x72 indoor with 15 ft. high doors that could be used for an exercise area, hay and bedding storage, additional portable or permanent stalls, a wash area, or machine storage. There is a 36x14 workshop in the indoor arena which includes a concrete floor that could be converted into a tack room or office area. The workshop has 2x12 ceiling joists and 12 inch insulation to provide maximum warmth during the winter months and allows for additional hay storage above the workshop.
