32 Hertzog School Rd

Mertztown, PA 19539

Don't miss this once in a lifetime opportunity to own the original 1780s Hertzog Farmstead on ten lush and picturesque acres. This is a classic Pennsylvania stone farmhouse complete with a bank barn, root cellar, and working spring house. Bikers brag about the surrounding thoroughfares and Hertzog School Road is a perfect location as it is a dead-end road with very little traffic. The present owners have lovingly restored this incredible gem over the last forty-seven years, adding a massive addition with reclaimed barn beams and 130 tons of real field stone for hardscaping, and more. The grounds are breathtaking with a large 100 by 120 pond as the focal point from the 25 x 11 Timber Tech deck. Step inside and fall in love with this striking example of historic architecture and the modern, yet traditionally appropriate, 2009 addition. The details are perfect, including the reclaimed barn beams, the wide plank wood and brick floors, rolling barn doors, exposed stone walls, and two working wood stoves. Words can't do this place justice. The roof has a fifty-year transferrable warranty and all the mechanical components are top notch. Stay toasty warm in the winters months with multiple heat sources (wood stoves, propane furnace, and electric baseboards). Exploring this property will be an adventure and delight. Make sure you spend time on both sides of Hertzog School Road as five acres are on one with house/barn and the other five acres are across the street with the pond. You'll be surprised again and again by its beauty, history, and practicality.
