Property details
About 971 Cornwallis Dr
A rare and valuable opportunity to own over 7 acres in the award winning West Chester Area School District. Tucked at the end of a quiet cul de sac in one of Chester County’s most desirable locations, this expansive and private parcel is ideal for those looking to build a custom estate or retreat surrounded by nature. Large lots of this size and setting are nearly impossible to find in the area, making this a truly exceptional offering for buyers seeking space, seclusion, and flexibility. The property features mature trees, a private stream, and a peaceful landscape perfect for luxury living with potential for gardens, a pool, equestrian use, or additional outbuildings. Utilities are already in place, making this an attractive alternative to raw land. There is no builder tie-in, giving you full control to bring your vision to life. While there is an existing home on the property, it would require significant renovation and most buyers will see this as an opportunity to start fresh. Despite its quiet and secluded setting, the property is just minutes from East Goshen Park, top-rated schools, and the shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions of downtown West Chester Borough. A rare chance to create a one-of-a-kind residence on a premier lot in an unbeatable location.
