Sitting in a rural corner of country seclusion and hidden from the outside world is Lilliput Farm, a 42-acre property with rich American provenance. Once the country estate of the Lewis family, a family with political heritage, Mr. Lewis was Secretary of Transportation in the Reagan administration and the family hosted President Reagan for a pheasant shoot. Surrounded by similar larger properties and antique homes, the pastoral views of rolling hills and farmland will touch the heart. Enter this enchanted setting via the meandering paved entry drive which crosses a charming bridge between two large, aerated ponds with large-mouth bass. A canopy of mature trees shades the main house, which is surrounded by English gardens and lush landscaping and is centered on an expansive courtyard made of antique bricks from the streets of Philadelphia. Dating to c.1790 with c.1986 additions, the rooms are sizable, and beautiful random width white pine floors run throughout. Designed for entertaining, the entry foyer with powder room greets guests, and the floor plan flows to the vast living room with gas fireplace framed by built-ins, large bay window and two sets of French doors opening to the courtyard, plus a kitchenette-bar area ideal for catering. The formal dining room with two floor-to-ceiling bay window alcoves will easily accommodate a large dinner party. The country kitchen offers charm with soapstone counters, custom island and Mercer tile backsplash, laundry room, and mud room with Saltillo tile floor, each room with storage cabinets. Immediately off the kitchen is the morning room with the original walk-in fireplace, offering a quiet spot for respite. Open to the kitchen is the large family room with richly paneled and beamed cathedral ceiling, wood-burning fireplace, bay window framed with built-ins, and a charming Dutch door to the side brick patio overlooking the 50x22 pool, cabana and tennis court. Turned stairs lead to the main bedroom suite with gas fireplace, built-ins, window seats, multiple closets including a walk-in closet, dressing room and en suite with double marble vanity. Another en suite bedroom with capped fireplace and built-ins is down the hall. The back stairs lead to a second landing with storage cabinetry, hall bath, and third bedroom. The charming fourth bedroom with exposed beams is in the finished attic. There is also a finished basement room with large hand-painted mural to honor President Reagan’s visit. The compound includes a 4-bay heated garage with a 2-bedroom, 2.1 bath apartment above, offering a large deck to enjoy the environs. The Schwenkfelder-style bank barn houses a heated office with brick floor, heated tack room with cold water sink, 4-10x12 stalls with exterior Dutch doors, 1-15x12 mare stall, 1-15x8 pony stall, and 2-10x10 stalls. Upstairs is the feed room, blanket room, storeroom, and substantial hay storage. In addition, there is a pen for pigs, stall for goats, and a chicken shed. Four pastures totaling 25 acres are fenced, each with automatic waterer, and two with underground springs feeding a vernal pond. Four run-in sheds. Currently 20 horses are boarded on site. Atop a hill is the 168x112 fenced riding ring with sand grit mix footings and long-distance views to enhance the riding.
