Overview
A Once-in-a-Lifetime Bedford County Estate
Set against the rolling hills of historic Bedford County, this renovated farmhouse is gracefully sited on 150 ± pristine acres, with panoramic views that capture the very best of Pennsylvania's countryside. Surrounded by open sky, woodlands, and rolling fields, the land itself is the true crown jewel of this estate.
At the heart of the property lies a massive, private pond that feels more like a shimmering lake, a rare natural treasure where every step around the shoreline feels like entering another world. For those seeking even greater views, a gentle hike to the hilltop reveals a magnificent stone pavilion, crafted with stately pillars and a grand stone fireplace. From here, the eye travels 11-12 miles in every direction across pastures, treetops, and open sky-unmatched vantage point of Bedford County's landscape.
The farmhouse itself rests closer to the road, providing convenient access, yet it is perfectly positioned to overlook the lake, creating a peaceful and picturesque backdrop from the home. Beyond, the property unfolds into fenced pastures with high-tensile fencing, tillable acres, and spaces designed for both agricultural and equestrian pursuits. A beautifully restored barn clad in durable Hardy board siding blends rustic charm with modern resilience, while the oversized three-car garage provides exceptional storage and functionality.
A true hunter's and nature lover's paradise, the land is alive with wildlife. Deer, wild turkey, bear, and many other species roam freely, offering endless opportunities for outdoor recreation and a deep connection to nature.
Despite its accessibility, the estate offers a remarkable sense of retreat. With close proximity to I-99, Route 30, and the Pennsylvania Turnpike, travel to Washington, D.C., Pittsburgh, Baltimore, and Philadelphia is surprisingly convenient. The property is also just minutes from one of Pennsylvania's finest resorts, Omni Bedford Springs, offering fine dining, golf, and wellness amenities.
For the equestrian enthusiast, this property is unrivaled: a huge indoor riding arena with 15 horse stalls overlooks the lake, creating a breathtaking setting where horses and riders alike can thrive.
This is not just a property, it is an experience. A place where natural beauty, abundant wildlife, and equestrian excellence converge into a lifestyle of unmatched peace, recreation, and possibility.
