Welcome home to Willow Ridge Farm, where you will discover the perfect blend of historic charm and modern convenience in this beautifully maintained 1900 farmhouse. Nestled off Smith Mill Rd and adjacent to White Clay Creek and Middle Run Nature areas, this 5-bedroom, 3.5-bath farmhouse is situated on nearly 5 serene acres, offering a peaceful retreat with plenty of space to enjoy the outdoors. The main residence boasts numerous upgrades throughout the years, including soapstone counters in the kitchen, a new roof in 2018, and the installation of a 1500-gallon septic system in the coming weeks.

The expansive grounds are perfect for outdoor enthusiasts. There, you will find several fenced pastures and a center aisle 5-stall barn equipped with a wash stall, 4 paddocks, and a turn-out ring, all well-maintained and ready for horses or other livestock. This unique property offers a harmonious balance of rustic tranquility and modern living, creating the perfect haven for those seeking a retreat from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, yet close enough to various shopping districts, restaurants, and other areas of interest. Experience the charm of Willow Ridge Farm and make it your own private sanctuary.
