Luxury Farm, Mount Joy, Lancaster County, PA

Welcome to High Cross Farm! Step back in time to a historic farm settled over 200 years ago. Two dwellings plus in-law suite, a bank barn, a pole barn, a horse barn and pastures sit on nearly 51 acres of beautiful farmland in the heart of Lancaster County. The stone farmhouse, built in 1819, has been lovingly renovated with the highest quality materials and workmanship, keeping true to period details. Original pine wood floors, graceful arches, a grand staircase, fireplaces, and vintage hardware and doors bring your senses to an era of long ago. The addition to the original home was constructed with reclaimed barn wood and stone, keeping with the time period to seamlessly blend old and new. A custom kitchen by Colonial Craft Kitchens soars with reclaimed beams in a peaked 2 1/2 story ceiling. The custom island is built from reclaimed barn wood with custom light fixtures designed specially for this space. Granite countertops, a farmhouse sink, high-end appliances, a coffee bar, and a butler’s pantry make this kitchen a cook’s dream. Three sitting areas, from casual to formal, invite family and friends to gather together for all occasions. The formal living room takes your breath away with white summer beams, a marble fireplace and built-in corner cupboard. The dining room offers another original corner cupboard and the perfect space for meals with family and friends. Upstairs, the luxurious primary bedroom and bathroom create a private haven with reclaimed wood beams in a lofty ceiling, a clawfoot soaking tub, and a designer glass shower. There are four more bedrooms and two full bathrooms, plus a second laundry on this floor. On the third floor is a spacious double bedroom and a special display of the original beam the builders used in construction. The farmhouse basement provides a movie room, personal exercise room, and a domed wine cellar. Outside, wander along the magnificent front porch to the pool and cool off in the crystal water or lounge under the pergola. Adjoining the farmhouse is a full in-law suite with a separate entrance. The home features one-floor living with an open plan kitchen and living room, and a vaulted ceiling with wood beams. There is a primary bedroom and bathroom with a handicap-equipped shower, laundry area, a walk-in closet, and an office or storage space. This bright and cheery home offers private accommodations for extended family or guests, yet is conveniently connected to the main farmhouse. The separate stone guest house was built in 1790. It has been fully renovated with four bedrooms, two full bathrooms, and a laundry. The living room, part of the original structure, includes a heated brick floor and restoration of the original hearth and beehive oven. A fully renovated bank barn provides stunning private event space. The upper level gleams with wood floors and crisscrossing beams, and is also equipped with powder rooms. The lower level houses seating for guests, a warm fireplace, and a fully-equipped kitchen. Outside is a large, brick patio for continued entertainment. The pole barn is divided into a garage, with room for RV and boat parking, and a climate-controlled workspace with an office, reception area, and powder room. The horse stable includes two horse stalls and a wash stall, and opens to fenced-in pasture. Walking trails invite you to meander to the pond with a flowing fountain, or sit around the firepit, or say hello to the animals. This picturesque, historical farm in the heart of Lancaster County blends expansive luxury living with idyllic country life.
