Description

Iron Bridge Farm....ohhh the possibilities! Sitting on just over 5 acres, this property has direct access to the riding trails of Fair Hill! The main house was built in the early 1800's and has 3 bedrooms (with walk-in closets in 2 of the bedrooms) and 2 full baths. The kitchen has cherry counters and granite counter tops. Attached to the main house by a breezeway is an accessory house that that was used as an antique store. The house has is 3 levels and has hardwood floors throughout. There is electric and a wood stove, but there is no plumbing. There is a large barn with water and electric. This is an amazing property with picturesque pastoral views but will need some TLC to the main house and the barn. Approx 3 acres of the property is fenced pasture with a gate for direct access to the Fair Hill property with riding trails. This would make an amazing AirBnB ,multi-family property, or farnmette!
This property is off market, which means it's not currently listed for sale or rent on Trulia. This may be different from what's available on other websites or public sources. This description is from January 30, 2026
