The main residence, built in 1860 was once a horse Barn and converted into a three-story home by 1991. The large solid mahogany and walnut front doors open into an elegant Foyer and impressive Great Room with soaring windows; with wood floor throughout the Great Room is flanked by two 2-story bedroom suites and a third bedroom. The first bedroom suite connects to an exercise studio with a mirrored wall and large powder room just beyond. Up the stairs leads to an expansive bathroom for this suite, including a spacious walk-in closet. The large Sauna room is a such an indulgence as well as the soaking tub room overlooking the Farm it is truly spectacular. Flanking the other side of the Great Room is the second two-story bedroom suite with an inviting sitting room and loft bedroom. The hand-hewn beamed stairwell from the Great Room opens to the lower level of the home that is also at ground level through glass French doors. This lower level is primarily comprised of an open concept living room, a Chefs kitchen, dining room and game table. The PA blue stone radiant heated floors throughout this level, along with the numerous hand-hewn beams and natural wood burning fireplace create an inviting lodge-like setting. The Chef's kitchen boasts a commercial grade Viking double oven, two Subzero fridges, plenty of counter space as well as a Jenn-Aire grill top with six burners. In the back of the main residence is an expansive stone patio with numerous seating areas that overlook the pastures. To the side of the patio tucked away is an inground hot tub. Next to the Main Residence is the newer potting shed now used as an office due to the inviting glass doors and loads of natural light.
A short walk from the Main residence is the 3-bedroom 2 bath cottage featuring an open concept living room, kitchen, and eat-in sunroom. The front porch is incredibly charming as is the back porch running the length of the cottage that sits high above the pool. The saltwater pool is nearly maintenance free and is surrounded by towering arborvitae on each side with plenty of space for lounge chairs and fun. The Pool House just below is used as a one bedroom one bathroom suite with its own patio space which leads to a private fire pit area.
The public utilities are underground so not to disrupt your view of the Ash, Linden, Flowering Crab and Sugar Maple trees sprinkled amongst the grounds and there are a couple of areas ideal for skeet shooting. The two, four-car garages easily fit eight vehicles and on the other side of Haggerty Road are your own Filling tanks. The property is next to 500,000 acres of Allegheny National Forest and Rails to Trails biking paths. In a short drive you can enjoy all that Cook Forest State Park has to offer as well as a few breweries. With the private airport less than 20 minutes by car this Farm is the ultimate country retreat.
