A ‘magical’ 15-acre property called Willow Lake Farm is for sale for almost $7 million in Chester County
The property includes walking paths, a stream and waterfall, a meditation garden, an arched bridge, extensive lawns, a pond, an in-ground pool, and a four-car detached garage.
The 15-acre Willow Lake Farm includes walking paths, a stream and waterfall, a meditation garden, an arched bridge, extensive lawns, and a pond. It’s also a private residence.
And the Chester County property is for sale for $6,990,000.
“It’s one of the most beautiful properties within Willistown” Township, said listing agent Meghan Chorin, leader of the Meghan Chorin Team with Compass Real Estate. She called it “magical.”
“It’s just special. There’s nothing else like it,” she said. Along the Main Line, “having a house where you have a water view is rare.”
The home’s creek-fed private pond spans three of the property’s 15 acres. The owners use it year round to swim, fish, kayak, and ice skate.
A long driveway snakes through trees and leads to the 6,050-square-foot fieldstone house, constructed in 1935 by builder Albert H. Jacobs Jr.
The house has four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and three half bathrooms. It features custom woodwork, oak floors, and eight fireplaces, including one in the formal dining room.
Off the family room sits a private study with a built-in desk and bookcases.
The home’s kitchen features exposed stone walls, a vaulted ceiling, custom white cabinets, and floors of handmade Mexican tile. It has double ovens, two sinks, and a large center island with storage and a range. A butler’s pantry off the kitchen includes a wet bar, wine cooler, and dishwasher.
Large windows effectively turn a dining and living area beyond the kitchen into a sunroom with views of the backyard.
The primary suite includes a balcony with views of the grounds and a walk-in closet with its own washer and dryer.
At the rear of the house, a line of French doors open to a flagstone terrace that overlooks an in-ground pool and the pond beyond.
“It’s a great entertaining house,” Chorin said.
A detached four-car garage has a large adjoining space that the property owner, an artist, uses as a studio. Above the garage is a studio apartment.
The home is close to Mill Park and Malvern Borough and is a few minutes’ drive from the Paoli SEPTA station.
Chorin said the property presents a rare opportunity for buyers.
In Willistown, she said, “there’s not a lot of supply and a lot of demand.”
The property was listed for sale on Aug. 24.
