About This Home

216 Merwinsburg Road

Behind a winding 2,400-foot paved drive, 72 acres of rolling countryside unfold into one of the most distinctive private estates in the Poconos. Panoramic views stretch across open pasture and woodland, creating a setting that feels expansive, private, and remarkably self-contained. Pohopoco Creek winds through the property, introducing a distinct natural ecosystem with mature riparian corridors, wildlife habitat, and a rare sense of environmental depth that enhances both privacy and long-term land value. At its center stands a 6,400 sq ft French-inspired stone residence defined by structural timber trusses, arched windows, and a soaring great room anchored by a dramatic floor-to-ceiling masonry fireplace. Artisan millwork, and enduring materials reflect a home built with intention and permanence rather than trend. The kitchen was designed for scale and gathering, while the private primary suite with balcony overlooks the surrounding acreage. Multiple living and entertaining spaces provide flexibility for both quiet retreat and large-scale hosting. Beyond the residence, established barns, paddocks, and agricultural infrastructure support equestrian or boutique farming pursuits. Home to a successful alpaca operation, the property offers proven livestock capability without compromising its estate presence. This is a privately positioned estate where land, water, architecture, and long-term ownership align.
