Property Description
Once in a lifetime. That is the only way to describe this rare opportunity to own a piece of Lancaster County's history. Dating to the circa 1760s, this remarkable stone mill-house estate stands as a testament to enduring craftsmanship and timeless design. Tucked along the banks of the Conestoga River and adjacent to the iconic Hunsicker Road Covered Bridge, the property spans 2.1 serene acres of unmatched beauty and architectural distinction.
Property currently in process of being methodically restored to its rightful grandeur.
From the moment you arrive, the home's **solid stone construction—with walls an impressive two feet thick—**speaks to a structure built to endure for centuries. Its handsome stone façade, custom mahogany windows with replicated original glass, and period-true proportions immediately convey authenticity and permanence. Inside, the center hall's gracious entrance makes a memorable first impression as a magnificent three-story open staircase rises dramatically from its heart, setting the tone for the home's exceptional craftsmanship.
Throughout the main level, historic elegance meets generous scale. The formal living room (21' x 14') features a classic fireplace, ideal for intimate gatherings. The first-floor library/den (17' x 14') offers a rare walk-in fireplace, lending warmth and gravitas to a distinguished retreat. The formal dining room (21' x 17') provides the perfect setting for entertaining on a grand scale, while the family room (26' x 25')—which is 90% renovated showcases panoramic river views—offers an inviting space for relaxed living, complete with a cozy fireplace.
The home offers five bedrooms, including a spacious primary suite with a walk-in closet—an uncommon luxury in a property of this era. Nine-foot ceilings, wide-plank floors, and three working fireplaces preserve the home's historic charm, while thoughtful updates ensure modern comfort.
Beyond the main residence, the estate includes a charming detached log cabin attached to substantial four-car garage believed to have been the former blacksmith shop when the mill was in operation. The landscaped grounds unfold in rolling lawns shaded by mature trees, the original millrace, and sweeping riverfront vistas that invite both quiet reflection and lively outdoor gatherings.
Owning this property is more than acquiring a home—it is embracing Lancaster's living history. Picture morning coffee as the mist drifts across the Conestoga, leisurely afternoons exploring nearby river by kayak, and evenings accompanied by the gentle music rapids of the river. The covered bridge, just steps from the property, stands as both a picturesque landmark and a reminder of the area's enduring traditions.
Conveniently located, the estate offers the privacy of a secluded retreat while remaining minutes from Lancaster City's cultural, dining, and shopping destinations. Whether as a primary residence or a weekend escape, 1461 Hunsicker Road presents an extraordinary combination of history, elegance, and natural beauty—an enduring legacy to be cherished for generations.
