Hemppatch Farm Welcome to Hemppatch Farm, a picturesque 18th-century farmhouse gracefully set on over 13 scenic acres in the heart of Lancaster County's rolling countryside. A long, winding driveway leads past a tranquil farm pond to this timeless residence, an inspired blend of historic character and modern comfort. Perfectly situated in an equestrian-friendly neighborhood, this property is surrounded by fellow horse owners and is just minutes from two MFHA-recognized fox hunts. The farm is thoughtfully designed for both functionality and beauty, featuring three-board fenced paddocks, 13 Fry Brothers safety gates, Nelson automatic waterers, and custom-built oversized run-in sheds with attached equipment storage or workshop areas. The upper paddock includes a two-story 42' x 25' run-in shed with abundant hay and machinery storage ideal for flexible use. The lower paddock offers a similar structure with a workshop. A beautifully preserved 22' x 28' bank barn showcases mortise-and-tenon chestnut beams, three bright and airy stalls, a tack room, hot and cold water, and ample hay storage—a striking blend of craftsmanship and practicality. Additional unfenced grass fields and wide mown riding paths provide space for leisure rides and training. Riders will also appreciate the easy trailer access to Fair Hill, Maryland, a premier destination for eventing, hunting, and trail riding. Originally built in 1752, with thoughtful additions in 1850 and 1985, the 2,288 sq. ft. farmhouse exudes historic charm while offering contemporary efficiency. Clad in cedar siding with a cedar shake roof, the home features energy-efficient replacement windows throughout. Nestled against a natural northern bank and facing south for warmth and light, it offers both durability and serenity. Inside, the country kitchen delights with brick flooring, post-and-beam ceilings, dual pantries, painted cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and skylights that bathe the space in natural light. The formal dining room features a Rumford-style fireplace and random-width wood flooring, creating an inviting setting for gatherings. The spacious living room offers a large bay window overlooking the property and access to both a front porch and rear deck perfect for relaxed country living. Upstairs, the primary suite includes a full bath, while two additional bedrooms share a hall bath. A second-floor office with a loft provides a quiet retreat or creative workspace. Outdoors, enjoy the simple pleasures of country life among mature native trees—including majestic black walnuts alongside a meandering stream, pond, and open fields that attract birds and wildlife. An outdoor shower and expansive views complete the tranquil setting. The property is enrolled in Act 515 Clean & Green, ensuring lower taxes and preserving the rural character of the land. Hemppatch Farm is more than a home it's a lifestyle. A rare opportunity to own a piece of Lancaster County's history, where heritage, comfort, and natural beauty come together in perfect harmony.
