Behind a winding 2,400-foot paved drive, 72 acres of rolling countryside unfold into one of the most distinctive private estates in the Poconos. The approach alone sets the tone - a gradual transition from the outside world into a landscape defined by open pasture, mature woodland, and panoramic views that stretch uninterrupted across the horizon. The setting feels expansive, private, and remarkably self-contained. Pohopoco Creek winds naturally through the acreage, shaping a distinct ecological corridor of mature riparian trees, native wildlife, and seasonal movement. The presence of water introduces environmental depth rarely found at this scale - enhancing privacy, biodiversity, and long-term land value while creating a setting that feels both protected and alive. At the heart of the estate stands a 6,400 square foot French-inspired stone residence designed with structural integrity and architectural permanence in mind. Full masonry stone construction, exposed timber trusses, arched architectural openings, and a soaring two-story great room establish immediate presence. A dramatic floor-to-ceiling masonry fireplace anchors the main living space, while slate and hardwood flooring, artisan millwork, and solid wood trim reflect craftsmanship over trend. The kitchen was designed for scale and gathering, featuring generous prep areas, professional-grade appliances, and open sightlines to the surrounding living spaces. It is equally suited for intimate family dinners or large-scale entertaining. The private primary suite offers balcony access overlooking the acreage, creating a quiet retreat within the estate. Multiple living areas, including formal and informal gathering spaces, provide flexibility for hosting, work-from-home needs, or multi-generational living. Beyond the residence, the land continues to deliver. Established barns, paddocks, fencing, and agricultural infrastructure support equestrian or boutique farming pursuits. Currently home to a successful alpaca operation, the property demonstrates proven livestock capability while maintaining its luxury estate presence. The acreage offers a rare combination of usable pasture and natural woodland, allowing for both productive agricultural use and conservation-oriented enjoyment. A separate commercially zoned parcel within the property boundaries provides additional long-term flexibility, opening the door to strategic future opportunities while preserving the estate's privacy and scale. The grounds also feature an in-ground pool positioned to take advantage of the surrounding views, a four-car attached garage with generous bay depth, and extensive paved access throughout the property. This is not simply acreage paired with a home. It is a privately positioned legacy estate where land, water, architecture, and infrastructure align. Opportunities offering this level of scale, environmental diversity, and structural quality rarely become available in the region. For those who value autonomy, land ownership, and enduring construction over trend-driven living, 216 Merwinsburg Road represents a generational acquisition.
