Amazing Opportunity To Own A Taste Of Country & Convenience In This Small Farm Set Within OJRD SD! Your private homestead awaits at 120 Alackness Road—nearly 12 acres of rolling meadows (enrolled in Act 319 for reduced taxes), open pasture, and wooded privacy thoughtfully configured for everyday living and flexible use. Outdoor enjoyment centers around the custom Gunite saltwater pool (2023) with locally sourced rock surround, waterfall, and AstroTurf. The adjacent pool house adds storage and a mini-kitchen with a wine fridge—perfect for staging snacks and drinks when hosting—while sweeping Chester County views frame the setting. Inside, warm farmhouse character meets smart updates: a living room anchored by a stone fireplace; a country kitchen with stainless steel appliances and a sink overlooking the pasture; separate family and dining rooms; a side deck for easy outdoor meals; and a main-level powder room. Upstairs, the expansive private suite features a sitting area and a refreshed bath with double vanity and heated floors. Three additional bedrooms share an updated hall bath, a dedicated craft/office room, and a rear staircase, enhancing daily function. The full, unfinished walkout basement supplies abundant storage plus open space currently used as a gym and play area with direct yard access. Purposeful exterior upgrades support a range of pursuits—from equestrian and hobby farming to a low-maintenance homestead. The property offers full-perimeter fencing (4–5 wire, approx. 10k-volt) with temporary cross-fencing for rotation; electric and water trenched to each field; and a main barn with a 1,000-bale hayloft, new electric service, an interior water spigot, snow guards, and new commercial-size gutters for effective water management. A fuel tank at the barn remains. Additional outbuildings also received new gutters. The gravel driveway was reinforced with roughly 12" of stone to help mitigate mud and runoff. Systems include a wood boiler with oil backup; seller notes oil is primarily used in the summer for domestic hot water. The location blends convenience and countryside—within the Owen J. Roberts School District and minutes to Routes 422 and 23—set along a lightly traveled country road with classic farmstead ambiance.
