    Buyer failed to follow through at escrow and we terminated the purchase agreement. This historical gem has always chose it's caregiver, and they were not it. NOW OFFERING SELLER FINANCING. $250,000 DOWN REMAINING $100,000 BALANCE PAID OVER 10 YEARS AT 10% INTEREST. THIS IS FOR SALE BY OWNER WE ARE NOT PAYING YOUR REALTOR YOU HIRED. THANKS FOR READING AND UNDERSTANDING. * If you're interested in the second open house RE-scheduled for Sunday July 12th, please contact me to schedule a time to ensure parking. Proof of funds to show ability to pay asking must be submitted before being given a time slot to arrive. We will not accept any offer under asking. You will be trespassing if you have not received explicit approval to be there and will be asked to leave. It's summer in Gettysburg and this is a historic home with no shortage of individuals wanting a tour and I love that, but unfortunately will cause parking issues. We have guests staying at the lodge on weekends and during the week. So please, do not show up without my approval. Here's your chance to buy a remarkable historical gem in Gettysburg that's currently generating income! This breathtaking home dates back to 1798, when it was originally a 2-story cabin. Later in the 1920s Hollywood actor and Broadway star Oscar Shaw added onto the original cabin, making the home substantially larger. A brand-new roof was installed in 2022. A brand new gas boiler, gas hot water heater, and pressure tank were installed in 2024. There is an early 1800s blacksmith shop that was converted into a carriage house with upstairs sleeping quarters that can be brought to life again and rented or used for guests to sleep in. The 20'x45' 2-story garage was built in the 1950s and can continue being used for storage, or with some work for those able and with the skills, converted into another house for guests to stay in. Same goes for the blacksmith shop. Both are ready to be brought back to life. With almost 3 acres of land, the potential is endless, so let your ideas start flowing. There are several black walnut, shagbark hickory, mulberry, and maple trees producing in the food forest with room to add plenty more. There are established wineberry and raspberry patches throughout the land as well as flowers. If you've always wanted a garden, there's plenty of room to start several garden beds. This one-of-a-kind home is currently listed on Airbnb and VRBO vacation rental sites. There has been no shortage of guests; many of them return for third and fourth stays. There have been several paid events hosted as well, making this a fantastic income source with so much more room to grow and potential. No paid advertisement has been done to date, and it has done well as is. All furnishings, including beds, TVs, couches, tables, and more, come with the sale. The buyer will be able to keep all current bookings and immediately have an income from the already established business. Home and land is being sold as is. We will not go lower then the current sale price. We are priced at almost land value now. Call to schedule a date and time to view the home. Proof of funds must be presented first since this is a very unique home and many are wanting tours in case the buyer plans to keep it private after the sell. Stay humble. Stay content. Stay blessed! -Dan
