Property Description

Exceptional 26-Acre Farmette on Shimpstown Road, Mercersburg, PA Nestled on approximately 26 picturesque acres in historic Mercersburg, this remarkable farmette offers stunning views of Whitetail Ski Resort, beautiful mountain scenery, and the perfect blend of country charm and modern comfort. The farmhouse has been lovingly maintained and is truly showroom ready. Thoughtfully renovated while preserving its character, the home features 3 bedrooms and 2 full baths. The third bedroom is conveniently located on the main level and is currently being used as a den, making it ideal for a home office, guest room, or flex space. A full bath is located on the main level, while the upper level offers two spacious bedrooms and a second full bath. Step outside and enjoy the incredible outdoor living spaces, including a large covered deck with ceiling fans, beautiful stone patios, and a second-story balcony overlooking the mountains. Whether you're entertaining guests or simply relaxing after a long day, this property offers countless places to enjoy the peaceful surroundings. The property also features an above-ground pool with a large deck, several well-maintained outbuildings, open pastures, and fields currently maintained by a local farmer. An added bonus is the potential for an additional building lot, providing an excellent opportunity for a guest house, family member's home, rental property, or future dream home. To complement the farmhouse's historic charm, some antique furnishings may convey with the property. This is a rare opportunity to own a turnkey country estate offering acreage, views, charm, and endless possibilities in one of Franklin County's most scenic locations.
