Property details

About 280 Porters Mill Rd

In 2017, after relocating from Virginia to Pennsylvania, the sellers sought an equestrian facility but found none that met their needs. Instead, they discovered a 37.7-acre farm with an 1800s farmhouse, a deteriorating bank barn, and the ruins of an old mill. Undeterred, they transformed it into a premier riding, training, and boarding facility, bringing their vision to life. The charming stone farmhouse with outside patio offers three bedrooms, two and a half bathrooms, a partially finished lower level, and attic space. New windows, new HVAC and other upgrades have been made to it. The equestrian facilities are exceptional. The historic bank barn underwent extensive structural renovations, including the addition of two oversized stalls and a private paddock. A main barn was newly constructed, featuring 22 stalls—seven with attached dry lots—along with an office, feed room, and an open hay loft. The 200’ x 80’ indoor arena boasts premium sand and fiber footing, mirrors, and a sound system. An additional 25’(+/-) extension off the Indoor arena houses the heated and air conditioned tack room, two grooming stalls, and two wash stalls equipped with solarium heat lamps. The upper level includes additional finished storage space and a beautifully designed two-bedroom, one-bath apartment. Outdoor amenities include a 90’ x 210’ oversized dressage arena with sand and fiber footing, offering breathtaking views of the entire property and the stunning westerly skyline. The farm also features 16 fenced paddocks, eight dry lots, and thoughtfully planned infrastructure to support equestrian operations. Dual entrances—one gated for the farm and another for the home—connect via a shared driveway, with ample trailer and visitor parking. The overall condition of the home and property is excellent. The curb appeal is immaculate, and the property has been meticulously designed and maintained. And while this property is suitable to own privately, it does have potential income capabilities. Since its completion in 2020, this farm has grown into a successful boarding and training business from the ground up. Now available only due to job relocation. Its location in picturesque Northern Chester County provides unrivaled access to a vibrant equestrian community. Conveniently located within 30 minutes of the Devon Horse Show and numerous world-class equestrian events, trainers, and facilities, this farm is perfectly positioned for those seeking the finest in equine excellence. This farm is an exceptional investment opportunity for competitors and passionate enthusiasts alike. Whether you envision a private sanctuary for your horses or a premier training and boarding facility, this property is ready to exceed expectations.
