Description

Tucked into a peaceful wooded setting and surrounded by preserved farmland, county parkland, conservancy land, and state game lands, this rare property offers exceptional privacy and natural beauty. Evenings are wonderfully dark and quiet, while daytime views stretch across rolling hills and bird-filled fields. Speedwell Forge Lake is just a short walk away, creating a true nature lover’s haven. Despite its tranquil rural setting, the home is only a few miles from the vibrant shops and restaurants of downtown Lititz. Hershey, Lancaster, Mt. Gretna, and Harrisburg are all convenient drives for work, dining, and shopping. Numerous hiking and biking trails are nearby, offering year-round outdoor recreation. Built in the 1760s as one of several worker homes associated with the historic Coleman estate, 550 Speedwell Forge Road carries a rich local history. (The estate’s main house across the valley is now home to the Wolf Sanctuary.) Purchased as a shell in the 1940s by Ralph and Janet Wolf as their country retreat from Manheim, the home has remained in the same family ever since. The house is thoughtfully built into the hillside using local brownstone and features an exposed stone wall in the living room — the home’s original “putter” wall. The dining room showcases the original hearth. Outdoor spaces include two patios, a charming front porch, and a spacious screened-in porch with a Franklin stove that provides cozy warmth in cooler months. A unique opportunity to own a piece of Lancaster County history in an extraordinary natural setting. This property provides you a rare opportunity to purchase before the scheduled auction on Thursday, April 16 at 4:00 PM This is not a forclosure or tax auction.
