Exquisite 24 Acre Equestrian Estate – Ultimate Sanctuary of Luxury & Lifestyle. Discover serenity and prestige in this fully turnkey equestrian sanctuary nestled on 24 private acres adjacent to over 280 acres of permanently preserved land within Gwynedd Wildlife Preserve. With pond and arboretum vistas, lighted pickleball courts, spa amenities, and custom riding facilities, this bespoke property blends historic character with modern comfort—all just 45 minutes from Philadelphia and 90 minutes from New York City. Step through the doors of the 1742 main residence—meticulously restored and expanded with the finest craftsmanship.
