🌟 Coming Soon | 13.8 Acres | Land & Building Lot in Southern Chester County📍 Chesterville Rd, Franklin Township

There are properties that check boxes, and then there are properties that change what you thought was possible. This 13.8-acre parcel in Lincoln University is the second kind.

The land has already cleared the hard hurdles. Perc tests done, building approval in place, a designated building envelope identified, and room for a primary home plus an additional accessory dwelling unit. That combination is not easy to find in Chester County, and the fact that the surrounding acreage sits within a Land Conservancy context means the privacy and the landscape are not going anywhere.

The Highlights:

🐾 On-Site Now: A cabin/shed tucked well back from the road includes a loft, a deck, and a screened porch. It functions as a private retreat while you plan and build.

🥾 Trails and Water: More than a mile of groomed private trails wind through the woods and lead to two active streams and small waterfalls. A dedicated camping clearing sits on the property as well.

🐴 Equestrian-Friendly: The land supports horses and the potential development of pasture areas.

🏫 School District: Avon Grove School District.

🏘️ Build-Ready Land: 13.8 acres with approved perc tests, a designated building envelope, and allowance for one primary residence plus an accessory dwelling unit. The groundwork is done.

🌲 Protected Setting: The property sits within a Land Conservancy context, which means the scenic, wooded surroundings are protected permanently. You are not building next to a farm field that becomes a subdivision.

This one is for a buyer who has been waiting for land that actually works, not just land that's available. If that's someone you know, tag them or pass this along.

Just Sold! Most vacation home searches start online. This one started at summer camp. The buyer's' kids attend Camp Tockwogh on the Chesapeake Bay. If you've never heard of it, it's a camp that's been on that water for a long time, and it makes kids and families fall in love with the bay.

So when this family started seriously looking for a vacation home, they knew where.

Cliff-top house overlooking the water. Large dock. And a feature I hadn't seen before on a residential property: a trail down to a separate, sandy beach area, wide enough to bring a Gator down.

They're not moving in and leaving it alone. Major renovations are coming. The house they bought and the house they'll actually vacation in are going to be two different things — and that's exactly what they want. Settle in now, build toward the vision.

Some purchases are transactions. This one felt more like the next chapter of something that started years ago on the water with their kids.

Congratulations. I mean it.

😱 Closing costs shouldn't be a post-inspection surprise. Read the full breakdown here: https://www.spotlight-realestate.com/post/the-ultimate-guide-to-home-closing-costs-what-buyers-actually-pay

Most buyers focus on the down payment, but the final numbers at the closing table often include a complex list of taxes, lender fees, and escrow requirements. Understanding these line items early is the difference between a stressful closing and a seamless one.

I’ve broken down exactly what you’re paying for and where you might have room to negotiate.

The Power of Stepping Back: Canceled the listing 👎 Then sold it! 🏆 We faced a specific challenge: the "lower-level" bias. Despite the quality of the home, buyers were hesitant. We had interest from a handful of buyers, but no one was ready to make an offer. The momentum was stalling 📉

So, we changed the game. 🎯 We strategically took the property off the market.

It’s human nature that we often want what we can’t have. The moment the listing was "unavailable," the phone started ringing. By creating a sense of urgency, we secured the right offer and moved straight to settlement. 🤝

Sometimes, the best way to move forward is to pause and reposition.
