Superb, long-distance vistas. Acres of emerald pastures and mature woodland. Stoneybrook Farm Estate offers you a beautiful, private 185 acres in super-cool, historic Honesdale, Pa., almost equidistant between New York City and Philadelphia. Stoneybrook, with its classic Pennsylvania farmhouse, barn, and ancillary buildings, presents an array of options for a buyer. The present owners have been careful stewards of the property, making many significant updates so that it’s ready for those seeking a country residence, or for those with interests in farming, livestock or equestrian pursuits, hospitality-related endeavors, or even a corporate retreat. From the sunrise peeking over the hill, to the magnificent, warm sunset hues, to the inky night sky for star gazers, the world of Stoneybrook is one where you can enjoy the outdoors in every season. The estate features trails for walking and horseback riding; ponds for fishing and paddleboat rides, with lakes just a short drive away for more serious boating, waterskiing, and fishing. Its location in the northern Poconos region makes it a winter wonderland for those who enjoy downhill and cross-country skiing, ice skating, and snowmobiling. The farmhouse updates preserved the best original features while adding a new kitchen, updated bathrooms, new windows, and a long list of systems and mechanicals updates. There are five bedrooms, including three on the first floor, plus an updated two-bedroom apartment. From its rocking-chair front porch to its warm wood floors to its comfortably sized rooms, it’s a welcoming, appealing home. Clad in red siding and so picturesque, the hay barn, garages/tool shed, storage shed, and walk-in horse sheds were renovated using historical carpentry techniques, and a new “guest house” was built. The property itself – approximately 120 acres of forest with a Forest Management Plan, 55 acres of fields/pastures, and 10 acres of land with the main house and dependencies and four ponds – has been very well maintained with newer fencing for pastures, a water management system, and gravel roads. Indeed, happy trails and happy times are waiting at Stoneybrook. Schedule an appointment and see why this is one of the hottest corners of Pennsylvania for those who want out of the city while still having access to a creative, vibrant town.
