Property description
Welcome to Meeting House Farm, a premier 7.35-acre equestrian estate in the Exeter Township School District that perfectly marries 1700s heritage with resort-style luxury. Originally a one-room stone cabin, this expanded 5,400 sq. ft. manor—once held by the family of Daniel Boone—boasts museum-quality details like hand-hewn beams and six fireplaces, alongside a chef’s kitchen with granite counters and double wall ovens that opens to a stunning saltwater Gunite pool with a stone waterfall and stamped concrete patio. For the equestrian enthusiast, the property is a true standout, featuring a circa 1840 bank barn (40x70) with four stalls, a tack room, and updated upper-level flooring perfect for an event space, complemented by a sand-based riding ring and fenced pastures just minutes from the world-class trail systems of French Creek State Park. The sprawling, level lot is a private sanctuary featuring a productive organic garden, a few apple, pear, and peach trees, and the peaceful Monocacy Creek flowing along the tree line. Adding incredible versatility, the two-story wagon barn (30x20) with large double doors offers immense storage or studio potential, while the detached three-car garage includes a wine cellar, a private sauna, and a finished guest apartment with vaulted ceilings and a kitchenette. This is a rare opportunity to own a storied piece of American history that offers a peaceful, high-end country lifestyle in Birdsboro, PA.
