Property Description
Glenroy Farm, situated in Nottingham, Pennsylvania, at the borders of Chester and Lancaster Counties, was purchased by its current owners in 1966. The family emigrated to the USA from England and settled at the original estate which encompassed nearly 1000 acres. Upon deciding to sell the property, the family took great effort working with both the Brandywine Conservancy and the Oxford Area Foundation to properly divide the parcels and preserve the land. The current 57 acre parcel is being offered for sale as part of a well executed agriculture easement plan, which allows for the construction of one home site at the back portion of the land on a floating 2 acre lot. The topography is your canvas, with a combination of hills, breathtaking sight lines and multiple wooded areas that create absolute privacy for your dream home or equestrian estate. The land and soil is rich, perfect for grazing horses or livestock, in addition to a multitude of crops. At the entrance to the property are 5 unrestricted acres which consist of a house with original wide plank wood, an 8 stall barn, original spring house and an in-ground swimming pool which are being sold as-is. If the intention is to farm the land, these buildings would also serve as a business office, CSA stand or guest house. All of the surrounding land and neighboring farms have been sold, including the original Glenroy farmhouse (sold with 45 acres), and the Glenroy Preserve, which consists of nearly 700 acres from the original estate. All are protected under agricultural preservation, ensuring perpetual privacy for the next owner, yet there is great flexibility in the easement. This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a manageable piece of property situated down a small well maintained county road, which is only accessed by a handful of owners. Glenroy Farm is within 15 minutes of the charming town of Oxford, 30 minutes to Newark, DE or Kennett Square, PA and all of the Brandywine Valley attractions. It is also within an easy drive to Philadelphia, Wilmington, Lancaster and Baltimore for access to the major train stations and airports.
