This gentleman's farm located in Washington Township is a slice of country living paradise. Set over 85 acres of pure tranquility, this property has it all. From the acres of open pasture to the calm views of the Conewago Creek, this farm provides privacy and seclusion but is only a short commute to dining, shopping and entertainment. With endless possibilities for an outdoor lifestyle, a horse or animal enthusiast, and a nature goer, this property is for you. Named Echo Cove Farm because you can stand at the base of the barn and shout, while you can hear your voice echo along the ridge line throughout the entire property. A front gate with keypad and speaker begin the property. A custom radio from the house allows you to speak and control the operation of the gate. A gravel driveway leads past peaceful open pastures and wooded acres to the main house, barn, and workshop garage. The setting is magnificent and brings an immediate feeling of relaxation and calmness. The main house has the look of a cozy cottage from the outside, but inside is a spacious and absolute delight with an open floor plan, natural lighting, and pleasant surprises around every turn including radiant floor heat, an entire house propane driven generator, and well. With numerous upgrades and improvements including renovations in the kitchen and living room, the utilities have been converted from oil to propane, and a generator has been added that can run the entire house including the 2 on demand hot water heaters. The front door opens into the fully equipped kitchen boasting a 2-level center island with breakfast bar and a cook top on the lower level of the island. Surrounding the island are lots of cabinets and counter space, built-in appliances, and 2 separate oversized sinks. The dining room is spacious, has pasture views, and has access to the patio. Adjacent the kitchen is a full bath with a steam shower, a laundry closet, and 2 large closets making organization easy. As you make your way into the great room, you will immediately feel like you are in a secluded hunting cabin with 1 stone wall and 1 log and mortar wall; plus a wood ceiling, exposed beams, and a built-in entertainment center along with access to another patio area. The living room opening has a large archway leading into a cozy room with lots of natural light and a built-in bench seat. A 1st floor owner's suite is fantastic with high ceilings, a loft area with storage closet including a utility sink, and a walk-in closet that also connects to the private bath. The owner's private bath features a walk-in stall steam shower, a jetted tub, and dual vanities. It also comes with a convenient urinal as well. A set of doors from the owner's suite go into a screened-in porch that overlooks the patio and farmland views. A staircase off the kitchen leads up to an office area, a bedroom, and a full bath. The rubber roof off the back of the property is constructed to be converted into another bedroom as well. Just off the rear patio is a summer house that contains a kitchen, full bath, and could be used as an in-law quarters for guests. The property contains various outbuildings, each with unique features of their own. The barn has hay and storage on the top level with horse stalls on the lower level. The barn has electric and water. A dog run could be used for livestock such as chickens or pigs. The workshop garage that could house vehicles, tractors, and 4 wheelers, has 2 gasoline tanks on the outside; one for regular fuel, and one for diesel fuel. The inside includes a workshop with built-in counters and a wood burning stove. Another separate room could double as a gym or hobby room. The surrounding landscape is incredible with wooded areas, open pastures, and tillable acreage--the possibilities are endless. Wildlife such as white tail deer, fox, and turkey are a common sight. An added bonus is that the surrounding farms are not going to be developed.
