Fantasy Farm Friday: Luxury Equestrian Estate for $5.4 Million
One day I’ll win the lottery. One day I’ll win the lottery. One day I’ll win the lottery…
This Pennsylvania luxury estate is incredible. From a stone farmhouse to a jaw-dropping barn, it has just about everything an equestrian could want. Located in the heart of Montgomery County, Tunnel Farm is a 24-acre jewel-box estate, surrounded by the permanently preserved Natural Lands Trust Gwynedd Wildlife Preserve. There are multiple residences in a tranquil setting, but still drivable to everyday amenities.
The main residence is from 1742. It’s an incredible manor home that recently underwent a three-year renovation and expansion. It has maintained its old-word integrity but has enough modern (and state-of-the-art!) updates to make just about anyone happy. The house has exposed stone walls, restored original fireplaces, and barn-beamed ceilings.
On the main level is a formal dining room, a sleek home office with exquisite wood paneling and fireplace, a den with an original stone fireplace, mudroom and powder room.
The kitchen features granite countertops and backsplashes, antique exposed beams, hardwood floors, top-of-the-line appliances and a retractable appliance bay that disappears into the countertop. It has an open floor plan that flows into a breakfast room and custom bar area with zinc countertops. Completing this space is a cozy living room with a fireplace and peaceful pond views. It’s a perfect set up for entertaining and hosting (which undoubtedly you will be doing if this is your set-up).
Plus, there’s an awe-inspiring entryway and staircase, which leads to the upper level.
On the upper level is a magnificent main bedroom suite with exposed beams, private outdoor covered deck with pond views and walk-in closets. The master bathroom boasts a jetted slipper tub, mosaic marble floors, granite vanity with vessel sinks, wood-paneled alcove, a granite steam shower, sauna, and Toto sensor toilet.
There are three additional ensuite bedrooms on the upper level, each with their own character and charm and gorgeous bathrooms. The fourth bedroom suite is complete with a large sitting room and private entrance, via a back staircase.
There is a finished lower level with a fitness area and bathroom. All three levels can be accessed by stairs or elevator
The outdoor living spaces are just as incredible as the indoor. The exterior of the home is surrounded by a variety of specimen trees and pristine flower beds which are archived in photographs in the Smithsonian (you read that right). There are multiple outdoor seating areas with stone patios and covered porches. There is a serene pond with a small walking bridge that leads to your own private pickle ball courts (again, you read that right).
The horse facilities are an equestrian’s dream! There is renovated 200-year-old bank barn in impeccable condition with six matted stalls, an air conditioned feed room, bathroom, and social room.
Not to be missed is the extraordinary 200 x 86 custom-built indoor riding arena, which features 24 electrically operated, oversized glass doors, Attwood Equestrian dust-free footing, 4’ angled rider guard with mirrors, two wash stalls with hot and cold water, a temperature-controlled tack/viewing room with a kitchenette and bathroom.
There are automatic waterers in all the stalls and fields and all fields have access to three run-in sheds.
Additionally, there are two five-stall shed rows for overflow horses with two tack rooms. All fields have access to three run-in sheds. There is a caretaker home attached to the barn, with three bedrooms and 1 1/2 baths, PLUS a guest house with two bedrooms and two full baths.
Whether you’re looking for a family compound, country / nature retreat, resort lifestyle or state-of-the-art equestrian facilities, this property has it all!
