Property Description
Hidden deep in the heart of Charlestown Township lies one of the most extraordinary properties in the region, protected beauty hidden behind over 80 acres of farmland. Now for the first time being offered as an independent listing, this 39.8-acre parcel includes the historic main residence, a barn, and a studio structure, all tucked deep in the heart of this impressive property with panoramic views of the rolling hills. This is not just a rare property; it's a sanctuary, fully shielded from the outside world, yet less than 10 minutes to Malvern and Phoenixville, 15 minutes to Valley Forge, and within easy reach of Philadelphia. The property overlooks panoramic views of conserved land, much of it safeguarded by the current owner, ensuring the uninterrupted, soul-stirring views will remain for generations. The original 1860s stone farmhouse was transformed in the mid-1940s by Oscar Stonorov, a pioneering modernist credited for helping to bring European modernism to American soil. His vision is alive in every line of the home, blurring the boundaries between structure and landscape, as floor-to-ceiling windows frame a protected, unchanging panorama of rolling hills and wooded valleys. The Stonorov addition is a living work of art. Anchored by a Georgia marble wall that extends to the exterior, the space features Wharton Esherick handles, and one of the first known instances of glass-on-glass corner windows in American residential architecture. Opposite the Georgia Marble wall is an incredible piece of local art history, the mural study for the painting Philadelphia Panorama. Lucius Crowell was the original owner of this home and before his painting adorned the walls of Hopkinson House in Washington Square, he created the study on this very wall. With farm status tax benefits and deep cultural and environmental roots, this property is as versatile as it is awe-inspiring. Seamlessly blending seclusion with accessibility the property is minutes from major hubs for business, leisure and education. Located in the award-winning Great Valley School District and near some of our areas most elite private institutions such as Montgomery School (Pre-K-8), Villa Maria Academy, Malvern Prep, Kimberton Waldorf, Hill School and Episcopal Academy, finding a school that matches this property's prestige is easy. Opportunities like this do not come twice. This is land you don't just own, you steward it. A home you don't just live in, you inherit its story. And a setting that doesn't just take your breath away, it keeps it. Any sale of an individual parcel is contingent on the coordinated sale of the additional parcels and the finalization of shared access agreements if sold separately. Not all land shown in photos is part of this individual parcel.
