About This Property
***Lot is being sold with the home on 192 Peters Creek Rd. Peach
Bottom, PA 17563***Speedy Goat Farm, the home of author Christopher
McDougall and the setting for his bestselling book ~Running with
Sherman,~ can be your dream country getaway. Surrounded by hundreds
of acres of preserved farmland, this nearly 5-acre property in the
heart of Lancaster County~s Amish community has vintage charm with
subtle modern luxuries. The beautiful log home has four bedrooms,
three baths, and two woodstoves, plus a four-person sauna, a
cedar-stave hot tub, a fieldstone chimney, a writing loft, and an
enormous front deck where you can swing on the three wooden gliders
and enjoy the sun setting over the River Hills of the nearby
Susquehanna River. For at-home workers,
Speedy Goat Farm has a separate office cabin where all of
Christopher McDougall~s books were written. Built from reclaimed
local materials, the cabin boasts mushroom-house cypress siding and
a green-slate roof. Inside, you~ll find a fieldstone floor, a
sleeping loft, a big woodstove, and a one-of-a-kind cypress slab
ceiling. Through its windows, you~ll look out over flowering pear
and black walnut trees as Amish buggies clatter by.
The main house is bathed in light from five skylights
and draws water from its own freshwater spring. The master bedroom
and living room have hardwood plank floors crafted from local wild
cherry and white oak trees. Downstairs, the finished basement has a
cozy bedroom with its own woodstove, plenty of closet space, and a
separate hot tub room. On the second floor, two bedrooms have
magnificent views of the duck pond and countryside in every
direction. Above the staircase is a cleverly designed writing loft
with its own built-in desk. Speedy Goat
Farm is on the outskirts of both Lancaster (dubbed one of the
country~s ~Best Places to Live~) and Lititz (voted ~Coolest Small
Town in America~). It~s within one hour of both Philadelphia and
Baltimore, while an Amtrak train can have you in New York City in
2.5 hours. For outdoor enthusiasts, Speedy Goat Farm is paradise.
With the Susquehanna River just a mile away and endless miles of
open country roads, it~s perfect for long runs, quiet bike rides,
summer kayaking, and Nordic skiing over snowy farm lanes.
For horse owners, Speedy Goat Farm is fully
fenced and equipped with both a four-stall livestock barn and a
separate run-in shed. Flanking the creek is a separate fenced
pasture with a covered bridge, a stone fire pit, and a wooden deck
overlooking the creek ~ perfect for summer evenings.
Speedy Goat Farm is the ideal retreat for
homesteaders, writers, young families, or anyone else who wants to
wake up to the crowing of roosters and go to sleep to the music of
a burbling creek.
