Attention horse people and young families: don’t miss this one! “Quiet Stream” is nestled in the middle of Unionville horse country on 5.8 acres. Don’t be fooled by the address; this property is located in the coveted Unionville-Chaddsford school district. This farmette features a 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath home; a petite, 4-stall barn with hayloft, water, and electricity; a fenced paddock and pasture; a year-round stream; and more. Quiet Stream has easy access to the ChesLen Preserve directly across Rte. 162! ChesLen is a jewel in the Natural Lands suite of preserves: 1,200+ acres of open space including shady woodlands, Brandywine Creek-adjacent valleys, meadows, and farm fields of corn and soybeans, preserved forever and open to the public. There are miles of trails open for horses and pedestrians free of disturbance from motorized vehicles or bikes, which are prohibited. Horses must be ridden in and out of ChesLen, since the preserve cannot accommodate horse trailers...which means, with so few properties within riding distance of ChesLen, this farmette is particularly special!

The cozy home has plenty of space for a family; on the first floor, find a sunroom, kitchen, dining room, living room, laundry, half bath, den/office, and an incredible master suite addition. The master suite features a vaulted ceiling, gas fireplace, full bath with soaking tub, and tile shower, as well as a spacious walk-in closet. French doors open onto a deck shaded by an arbor overlooking the barn and paddock. Upstairs are 4 more bedrooms, all generously-proportioned. One has a private, en suite bathroom; there’s another, full shared bath on the same level.

Outside, find a beautiful lawn with the home sitting nicely back from the road. The barn and pasture areas are likewise insulated from the road and include acres of lush grass for grazing. There is even a pond dug out by former owners, used for years for ice skating by the current owners’ children, and ready to be repaired so your family can make memories of snowy adventures and hot chocolate, too. This is an incredible opportunity to do some modest updates, remodeling, and fencing to have the perfect farmette in Unionville with access to miles of riding, no horse trailer required!
