Property Description
9-foot ceilings and a first-floor primary define this custom-built 2014 home, set on an exceptional 1.3-acre lot in Mount Gretna-an offering that is nearly impossible to replicate today. Thoughtfully designed for both comfort and longevity, this home blends modern construction with the character and setting that make Gretna so special. Elevated on the lot for a commanding presence, it also features a newly installed stormwater system to ensure proper drainage and long-term peace of mind. The setting is what truly separates this property. Backing directly to the trails of Governor Dick Park, the rear of the property is permanently protected-no future development, no loss of privacy, just uninterrupted natural surroundings. A detached, heated garage with additional space above and alongside presents rare flexibility-ideal for a guest suite, private apartment, studio, or income-producing Airbnb. Large acreage, newer construction, and this level of privacy in Mount Gretna almost never come available-especially with the added benefit of protected land behind you. This is a one-of-a-kind opportunity that simply won't come around again.
