44 Acre Lyon Valley Farm

Circa 1825 Center Hall Stone Manor House

Trout Stream frontage on Jordan Creek – Great Development Potential

Nestled in ever-popular Lowhill Township, this Lehigh County farm offers country living at its finest, yet in close proximity to the metropolitan area of the Lehigh Valley. The exceptional circa 1825 Georgian stone manor house and farm was once owned by the famous General Harry C. Trexler. The first floor of the 2,400 sq. ft. center hall manor house affords a spacious living room with the original fireplace, dining room, den, kitchen, and powder room. The pantry area in the kitchen was originally used as a walk in fireplace. The second floor features the master bedroom with double closets, two additional bedrooms with large closets, a full bath with laundry area, and large center hall. There is also a large expandable attic and a full basement with exterior entrance. Other house features include 9 ft. ceilings on the first and second floor and many original six panel pegged doors with much of the 19^th century hardware and woodwork in tact.

In addition to the main house, the property features a charming early 1½ story brick summer house that has been converted into a spa with fireplace. The picturesque early bank barn measures 40x80 with the upper level ideal for hay storage. The lower level is suitable for horse box stalls. The barn has a 22x24 addition. Outbuildings include a 61x31 garage with workshop area, a 29x24 small barn, and a 9x15 original tool storage shed. Approximately 33 acres of the property consists of large fields that are excellent for farming, horse pastures, or a vineyard. The Jordan Creek, a Pennsylvania approved Trout water, runs through the edge of the property, affording a private area for fishing and recreation. The property is enrolled in the Act 319 Farm Tax Abatement Program and is adjacent to the prestigious developments of The Manor and Woodbridge Estates. The property is zoned to allow 1 acre lots or larger 3-5 acre estate type lots. It has over 4100 ft (¾ mile) of blacktop road frontage. The property is also close to state game lands and the Trexler Game Preserve. This is a one of a kind property with one of the best locations in Lehigh County and truly a fine country estate.
