Secluded, authentic farmstead, built in 1899, fully refurbished in 2019.

163 acre family farm that is in the 5th generation, set in beautiful, rural south central Pennsylvania. It is a 2 story farm house, that has a large room addition, seating for approx. 65-70, that can be used for meetings or family reunions or banquets for an additional fee.
Just an hour and 15 mins away from Penn State Beaver Stadium. 45 minutes to historical Huntingdon, home of Juniata College. Lake Raystown Resort is 24.4 miles and 7 Points Marina is 35.4 miles. Minutes away from the Agape farm, site of Creation Fest, and also historic steam railroad, East Broad Top. It is minutes to Aughwich Creek for kayaking or fishing. There are great biking and hiking trails in the Lake Raystown area. Fishing guides are available for hire for Lake Raystown. Its approximately a 40 minute drive to Belleville, in Big Valley, home to various Amish sects and the Belleville auction and flea market every Wednesday. It's about 45 minutes to Issett Heritage Museum in Huntingdon and to the Huntingdon County Fairgrounds.
