Colonial, Detached - NOTTINGHAM, PA
Glenroy Farm, situated in Nottingham, Pennsylvania, at the borders of Chester and
Lancaster Counties, was purchased by its current owners in 1966. The family
emigrated to the USA from England and settled at the original estate which
encompassed nearly 1000 acres. Upon deciding to sell the property, the family took
great effort working with both the Brandywine Conservancy and the Oxford Area
Foundation to properly divide the parcels and preserve the land.
The current 57 acre parcel is being offered for sale as part of a well executed agriculture
easement plan, which allows for the construction of one home site at the back portion of
the land on a floating 2 acre lot. The topography is your canvas, with a combination of
hills, breathtaking sight lines and multiple wooded areas that create absolute privacy for
your dream home or equestrian estate. The land and soil is rich, perfect for grazing
horses ...
horses or livestock, in addition to a multitude of crops.
At the entrance to the property are 5 unrestricted acres which consist of a house with
original wide plank wood, an 8 stall barn, original spring house and an in-ground
swimming pool which are being sold as-is. If the intention is to farm the land, these
buildings would also serve as a business office, CSA stand or guest house.
All of the surrounding land and neighboring farms have been sold, including the original
Glenroy farmhouse (sold with 45 acres), and the Glenroy Preserve, which consists of
nearly 700 acres from the original estate. All are protected under agricultural
preservation, ensuring perpetual privacy for the next owner, yet there is great flexibility
in the easement.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a manageable piece of property situated
down a small well maintained county road, which is only accessed by a handful of
owners. Glenroy Farm is within 15 minutes of the charming town of Oxford, 30 minutes
to Newark, DE or Kennett Square, PA and all of the Brandywine Valley attractions. It is
also within an easy drive to Philadelphia, Wilmington, Lancaster and Baltimore for
access to the major train stations and airports.
