Absolutely one of the most beautiful, well-hidden and well-protected estates in the entire Philadelphia Region. Originally owned by the former Chairman and CEO of Sunoco — a high-profile exec who placed a high value on peace and privacy.

Equally important to the original owner was proximity to Center City Philadelphia and to PHL International Airport — each within about a 20-30 minute drive from this estate.

For an even quicker commute to the city, a grass helipad was installed, and helicopter flights into and out of the estate are part of the legacy of this extraordinary property — the owner commuted to his office in Center City by helicopter, and guests were flown in for the legendary political fundraisers and VIP gatherings which were held on the estate.

This estate is located in the heart of the incredibly beautiful, gently rolling countryside which is still traversed by the hounds and riders of the Radnor Hunt … the estate is adjacent to, and surrounded by, literally thousands of acres of conservation land. A half-mile long gated private lane creates an unforgettable approach.

The estate includes a substantial and extremely well-built stone and cedar Main Residence ; a charming Guest Cottage which is architecturally consistent with the Main Residence ; a Pool and outdoor Spa ; lighted helipad ; 4-bay oversized Garage … and much more.

For equestrians, there is a large indoor arena — extremely valuable to have for year-round training, especially in the case of this estate, because new indoor arenas are no longer permitted to be constructed by-right in Willistown Township. Of equal importance, this estate offers immediate ride-out onto the vast network of bridle paths which traverse the Radnor Hunt countryside — and, riders can hack to the Radnor Hunt Club in minutes — without having to cross busy roads!

There is substantial turnout fenced in post & rail, and there is easy access to the indoor arena for trucks and horse trailers via an all-weather service driveway. And, there is a private cross-country trail which was constructed around the inside perimeter of the estate by the current owners for their own young children who were learning to ride at the time.

Substantial acreage offers complete privacy. The land offers a perfect balance of manicured lawns, open meadows, and mature woodlands. The views from the Residence across large adjacent tracts of conservation land are superb.

The estate is in an investment-grade location : about 5 minutes to EA ; about 5 minutes to Malvern ; 20 minutes to PHL Airport ; 30 minutes to the Stadium complex ; 35 minutes to Center City.

An extraordinary one-of-a-kind property in an incredibly beautiful and valuable location. Fantastic opportunity.
