115-Acre Equestrian & Event Farm- Western PA

PROPERTY DESCRIPTION

A 115-Acre Equestrian and Agritourism Estate in Grove City, Pennsylvania Fair Haven Farms occupies one of the most distinctive parcels in Western Pennsylvania. One hundred and fifteen contiguous acres of rolling pasture, working farmland, riding rings, and two natural ponds, all anchored by a renovated three-bedroom residence and a full set of equestrian and agricultural infrastructure. The property sits at 206 Lee Road in Grove City, Mercer County, and is located just one hour from Downtown Pittsburgh and Pittsburgh International Airport. For years, Fair Haven has been a beloved regional destination, drawing families from across the Pittsburgh and Slippery Rock corridors for hayrides, corn mazes, sunflower festivals, pony parties, school field trips, dressage shows, and hunter horse shows. That history is more than charming context. It is a built audience, a recognized brand, and a working operational platform that transfers directly to the next owner. The property is now offered for sale as a turnkey equestrian estate, a fully operational agritourism business, a private retreat with development potential, a multi-generational family compound, or any combination of the above. Few properties in the region offer this kind of scale, this kind of infrastructure, and this kind of proximity to a major metropolitan area all at once. The Residence The primary home has been thoughtfully renovated and is ready for immediate occupancy. The main level features a kitchen, dining room, and family room arranged for comfortable daily living and easy entertaining. The three bedrooms and three full bathrooms support family life or guest accommodations, and a generous bonus space on the second floor provides flexibility for a home office, art or yoga studio, additional bedroom, media room, or private suite. The interior finish quality reflects recent updates, and the layout offers the rare combination of an authentically rural setting with a move-in ready finished home. The result is a residence that anchors the property without competing with it. The land remains the headline, and the home offers a polished, livable base from which to enjoy it or operate it. The Equestrian Infrastructure Fair Haven Farms was built for serious horse operations, and the facilities reflect that. The property includes two distinct barns. A 9-stall equestrian barn serves as the primary training and showcase facility, with the layout and finish appropriate for high-quality riding programs. A separate 24-stall barn provides the scale necessary for full-service boarding, summer camp operations, lesson programs, or competitive training. Combined, the two barns offer 33 total stalls. Two riding rings support flatwork, jumping, clinic programming, and warm-up for the dressage and hunter shows the property has hosted in recent seasons. Open pasture and rolling topography across the acreage offer ample turnout, conditioning trails, and room for hacking or competition preparation. For an incoming operator, the equestrian platform supports a wide range of business models. Full-service boarding at market rates. Lesson programs across multiple disciplines. Summer riding camps drawing from the regional family base. Clinic hosting with visiting trainers. Continued dressage and hunter show programming. Equestrian therapy or accessibility programming. Or any combination of these working alongside an existing operation. Outbuildings and Working Support Structures Beyond the barns and rings, the property includes a complete set of support structures that make daily operations efficient and offer significant adaptive reuse potential. A fully equipped garage and shop provides space for vehicles, machinery, and ongoing farm maintenance. A substantial equipment shed offers covered storage for tractors, implements, and seasonal gear. An additional barn-shop structure stands ready for workshops, additional stables, studios, retail space, tasting rooms, or event programming, depending on the use case the next owner pursues. A chicken coop is in place for small-scale homesteading or educational programming, particularly relevant for properties that continue to host school field trips or farm-to-table events. Together, these outbuildings represent significant value and adaptability. The capital expense of constructing this kind of working infrastructure from scratch would be substantial, and the buildings are already in place, in good working condition, and ready for whatever direction the property goes next. The Land and Water Features The 115 acres are the heart of Fair Haven Farms. The landscape combines productive farmland, open pasture, mature trees, and water features in a configuration that supports both daily life and active business operations. Pumpkin fields, corn rows, and sunflower meadows have anchored the seasonal festival programming for years. These cultivated fields support the agritourism calendar and could continue under the next owner or pivot to specialty crops, cut flowers, lavender, hops, or other niche agricultural products well suited to the regional climate. Two ponds add scenic value, ecological diversity, and recreational opportunity. The ponds serve beautifully as visual focal points for events, retreat programming, or wedding photography, and they offer quiet enjoyment for fishing, reflective walks, and simply soaking in the natural setting. Rolling terrain, open pasture, and mature trees frame the property and provide a sense of privacy and seclusion that feels much further from a major metro than it actually is. The acreage feels expansive, and there is meaningful room to add tiny home placements, guest cottages, retreat cabins, or additional structures across the property without disturbing the core working footprint. An Established Business Legacy Fair Haven Farms is not a blank slate. It is a working business with a multi-year track record and genuine community recognition across Mercer County and the broader Pittsburgh region. The property has hosted hayrides to the pumpkin patch, corn mazes built fresh each fall, sunflower festivals celebrating the property's signature crop, pony parties for local families, dressage and hunter horse shows for serious riders, school field trips for area educators, and group events ranging from family festivals to corporate gatherings. The seasonal calendar has built loyal repeat visitors and an active social media following, both of which are real assets that come with the property. For an incoming owner who wishes to continue the agritourism business, the brand recognition, the operational systems, the vendor relationships, the layout, and the audience are all already in place. The hardest parts of building an agritourism operation, gaining community trust and establishing recurring visitor patterns, are done. For an incoming owner who wishes to pivot or evolve the business into something new, the same brand recognition provides a meaningful warm start. Investment and Development Potential The scale and configuration of Fair Haven Farms support an unusually wide range of strategic uses. The property is being offered to investors and end users who recognize that flexibility as a feature, not a question mark. Full-service equestrian academy. Run boarding, training, lessons, camps, and shows from a property built specifically for this purpose, with capacity for 33 stalled horses, two riding rings, and ample turnout. Retreat and wellness center. Convert outbuildings to overnight accommodations and program corporate retreats, yoga and meditation immersives, equine therapy, addiction recovery programming, or other immersive multi-day experiences. The privacy, scale, and existing infrastructure support this model without significant new construction. Wedding and event venue. Leverage the barns, ponds, and sunflower fields for weddings, anniversaries, corporate gatherings, and seasonal celebrations. The Western Pennsylvania wedding market continues to favor distinctive rural venues, and Fair Haven offers an unusually photogenic and adaptable setting. Family compound with tiny home placements. Keep the main residence as the primary family home and place tiny homes, cottages, or accessory dwelling units across the acreage for adult children, aging parents, or extended family. The land easily accommodates a multi-generational compound layout while maintaining the working farm and recreational character of the property. Continued agritourism operation. Continue and expand the festival calendar with hayrides, corn mazes, sunflower festivals, pumpkin patch experiences, farm dinners, and seasonal events. Add value through farm-to-table programming, educational offerings, or partnerships with regional schools and community organizations. Hybrid mixed-use. Combine any of the above. A private residence operated alongside a boarding business. A retreat center programmed alongside continued seasonal festivals. A wedding venue paired with riding lessons. The 115 acres support more than one revenue stream operating in parallel. Location and Regional Context Fair Haven Farms sits in the rolling country of Mercer County, Pennsylvania, within easy reach of the major centers of Western Pennsylvania. Downtown Pittsburgh is one hour south by car, and Pittsburgh International Airport is reachable in approximately the same drive. This proximity matters. It positions the property within the day-trip and weekend-trip radius of the entire greater Pittsburgh population, and it makes the property accessible to out-of-state visitors arriving by air for weddings, retreats, or business gatherings. Closer to home, the property is minutes from downtown Grove City, with its shops, restaurants, and historic small-town character. Grove City Premium Outlets, one of the largest outlet shopping destinations in the region, draws steady regional and out-of-state traffic. Grove City College and Slippery Rock University are both within short driving distance, providing access to faculty, staff, and student markets for events, lessons, and seasonal programming. The surrounding area is rural, scenic, and authentically Western Pennsylvania, with the lakes, state parks, and horse country that have made Mercer and Butler counties popular weekend destinations for Pittsburgh residents seeking a country escape. Why Fair Haven, Why Now Properties of this scale, in this condition, this close to a major metropolitan area, do not come available often. The 115-acre footprint allows for a real working farm, a real equestrian operation, and a real event or retreat business, all on a single property. The renovated residence makes the property immediately livable. The completed infrastructure removes the most expensive and time-consuming parts of building a country business or a private retreat. The established brand and operational history give the next owner a meaningful head start. For an equestrian operator, this is a turnkey facility. For a hospitality entrepreneur, this is a fully built venue. For a private buyer seeking a multi-generational compound, this is a property with the privacy of true country acreage and the convenience of nearby town amenities and metro access. For an investor with a portfolio strategy, this is a flexible asset with multiple viable revenue paths.
