Hemppatch Farm Welcome to Hemppatch Farm, a picturesque 18th-century farmhouse gracefully set on over 13 scenic acres in the heart of Lancaster County’s rolling countryside. A long, winding driveway leads past a tranquil farm pond to this timeless residence, an inspired blend of historic character and modern comfort. Perfectly situated in an equestrian-friendly neighborhood, this property is surrounded by fellow horse owners and is just minutes from two MFHA-recognized fox hunts. The farm is thoughtfully designed for both functionality and beauty, featuring three-board fenced paddocks, 13 Fry Brothers safety gates, Nelson automatic waterers, and custom-built oversized run-in sheds with attached equipment storage or workshop areas.

A beautifully preserved 22' x 28' bank barn showcases mortise-and-tenon chestnut beams, three bright and airy stalls, a tack room, hot and cold water, and ample hay storage—a striking blend of craftsmanship and practicality. Additional unfenced grass fields and wide mown riding paths provide space for leisure rides and training. Riders will also appreciate the easy trailer access to Fair Hill, Maryland, a premier destination for eventing, hunting, and trail riding. Originally built in 1752, with thoughtful additions in 1850 and 1985, the 2,288 sq. ft. farmhouse exudes historic charm while offering contemporary efficiency. Clad in cedar siding with a cedar shake roof, the home features energy-efficient replacement windows throughout. Nestled against a natural northern bank and facing south for warmth and light, it offers both durability and serenity. Inside, the country kitchen delights with brick flooring, post-and-beam ceilings, dual pantries, painted cabinetry, stainless steel appliances, and skylights that bathe the space in natural light. The formal dining room features a Rumford-style fireplace and random-width wood flooring, creating an inviting setting for gatherings.
