Welcome to 21 Sheeder Mill Road! A beautiful stately manor with 8 bedrooms (4 on 2nd floor and remainder on 3rd Floor), 3.5 bathrooms with 10 fireplaces and 3 car detached garage! All of this situated on a scenic 12.3 acres with property boundary bordering over ¼ of mile in length along the French Creek! Located just on the outskirts of the Birchrunville and Kimberton area this estate has been an iconic landmark in the community for close to two hundred years!
Originally built with the purpose of being an Inn for travelers, it is said road logistics changed during construction which resulted with the original owners and prominent citizens… husband and wife repurposing this for use as their family’s home and additionally an onsite local mill. This resulted in a home that was and is much grander in scale to both today’s and yesterday’s standards!
The integrity and intent of the original lay out has been well preserved; even with a large kitchen addition in the late 1800’s and great room with master bedroom suite addition in the 1960’s. These were both added without changing the original floor plans and seam in flawlessly with the original space and compliment modern living!
The first floor is perfectly suited for everyday living and entertaining. The great room addition is perfect for entertaining! Open the french doors and the outside and inside become like one and provide a welcoming introduction to the pool space and inviting views of the pasture!
The property itself offers wonderful lifestyle options and views. The equestrian or cattle person will appreciate the three stall barn, fenced in pasture, paddocks and a trail head accessible just off the property for horse riding...these trails are just across French Creek and are owned by the township as preserved open space!
The fly fishing enthusiast will appreciate a ¼ mile of THEIR own property bordering along the trout stocked French Creek; set aside by the state exclusively for the fly fishing purists! Step right off the back and into the creek and wet a line!
