Property Description
As you turn onto Blue Mountain House Road, you'll soon discover why this farm has been so often photographed. With a rich history dating back to the French and Indian War, the present owner is believed to be the 3rd family to own the lands since the mid 1700's! Recently subdivided, the farm comprises two parcels totaling 86 acres with a combination of natural habitat/wetlands (13ac), tillable (36ac) and wooded acreage (37.5ac). A true depiction of early American farm life, the home is dated 1851 with 22" wide window sills, wide plank flooring, original Chestnut woodwork and stone construction. A "Sweitzer" L-shaped barn and many outbuildings adorn the property including a smokehouse, butcher house with set kettle, outhouse, pigsty, potato cellar, corn crib, chicken house and equipment shed. Magnificent views abound in every direction with the Blue Mountain as a backdrop and the Pinnacle in the near distance. Preserved under a Lehigh County Conservation Easement all forms of agricultural production are permitted. Home is ready for restoration and buildings need some TLC. Property is enrolled in Act 319 and is being sold AS-IS. Listing Agent is related to Seller and must be present for all showing. Confirmed appts only.
