Lakefront privacy with breathtaking views in Chester County! Offered for the first time since its construction in 1994, this extraordinary 18-acre property presents a rare opportunity to own a private retreat surrounded by natural beauty. Inspired by Frank Lloyd Wright’s Open Prairie style, the home was thoughtfully designed by Peter Archer with Peter Zimmerman to embrace its remarkable setting and create a natural connection between indoors and out. As the first residence completed by renowned builder Griffiths Construction, it is a legacy property where craftsmanship, architecture, and landscape come together beautifully. At the heart of the property lies a stunning lake encompassing nearly six acres—one of the largest private lakes in Chester County. The lake and surrounding acreage create a haven for wildlife, with frequent sightings of Bald and Golden Eagles, Pileated Woodpeckers, Great Blue Herons, Wild Turkeys, and Foxes. Mature native trees—including White Oak, Red Oak, River Birch, Redbud, Dogwood, and Crabapple—frame the landscape, providing privacy, seasonal color, and an extraordinary sense of serenity. The home offers 5,000+ square feet of space, with 4–5 bedrooms, 4.5 baths, and a three-car garage. The home takes full advantage of its setting, with expansive windows and lake views from several rooms reinforcing the connection with the surrounding landscape. The main level features a primary suite with two walk-in closets and fireplace, an open kitchen and breakfast area, great room, spacious office with built-in desk and file drawers, dining room, and a versatile bonus room ideal as a second office or 5th bedroom. Upstairs are three additional bedrooms and two full baths. Perhaps the home’s most unexpected feature is its indoor spa pool with kitchenette, fireplace, and full bath, overlooking the lake and surrounded on three sides by glass doors. Warmth and natural character are found throughout, with red oak floors, tongue-and-groove ceilings, a striking sandstone fireplace, and a reclaimed hickory mantel sourced from an 1850s barn. Outdoor living is equally inviting, with extensive brick patios positioned to take full advantage of the tranquil water views—an idyllic setting for quiet mornings, outdoor entertaining, or simply enjoying the surrounding nature. Need more nature? The 703-acre Coventry Woods Park has an access point less than 2 miles away. Always lovingly maintained by the original owners, recent improvements include a new roof and skylights (Oct 2020), a newer well pump & pressure tank, and renovation of the registered and "low hazard" designated dam (2026) in accordance with PA DEP standards. Private, peaceful, and truly one-of-a-kind, this remarkable Chester County property offers the rare combination of acreage, water, wildlife, architectural character, and privacy—a home conceived in harmony with its surroundings and now ready for its next chapter. The full experience of this property can only be appreciated in person, so schedule your showing today! PLEASE NOTE: this property is not accessible for a "drive-by" due to its location.
