One level country living with space to breathe and neighbors close enough to lend a hand.
This is 649 Drytown Road in Martic Township.
If you’ve been searching for a simple rancher in a peaceful country setting, this home is a must-consider.
This home offers the simplicity of a rancher style layout with an open floor plan connecting the living room, dining area, and kitchen beneath vaulted ceilings that create an airy feel. The covered front porch—with an accessibility ramp—welcomes you home and provides a quiet place to enjoy the surrounding countryside, where the current owner reports the regular song of horses passing by.
The primary bedroom features a walk-in closet and a private bath with a low-threshold shower and grab bars for added convenience. First-floor laundry keeps daily living practical and accessible, while central air ensures comfort during the warmer months.
Downstairs, the walkout basement expands your living space with a family room centered around a wood stove that the current owner used to heat the entire home. Whether you’re looking for a cozy gathering spot or extra room for hobbies and relaxation, the lower level adds flexibility.
Outside is where this property stands out. A long driveway leads to three separate outbuildings, including an oversized two-story garage with workshop space and upper-level storage, a shed, and a small barn with a stall where a beef cow was raised each year. A wall of arborvitae creates privacy around the property, giving this ⅔-acre lot a tucked-away country feel while still being part of a neighborhood community.
And despite the rural setting, modern convenience hasn’t been forgotten—FIOS internet is available.
Life here means being surrounded by rural Lancaster County charm. Nearby is the Martic Store for groceries and Holtwood Supply for hardware and everyday needs. Roadside stands filled with fresh produce, flowers, dairy, and baked goods are part of the lifestyle. Less than 10 minutes away, “The Buck” offers a supermarket, Tractor Supply, and local favorites like Buck Motorsports Park & Entertainment Complex. Outdoor enthusiasts will also appreciate being close to Kellys Run, Holtwood Nature Preserve, and Muddy Run Recreation Area with over 700 acres for hiking, boating, and fishing.
