Zionsville, Pennsylvania

just 90 miles from
Manhattan and 45 miles from Philadelphia. Hidden away in this
picturesque, rolling
farmland near Old Zionsville lies Skew Farm - a unique,
57-acre estate that dates
back to 1730.
The heart of this splendid property consists of two historic homes;
a main residence
built in the 1940s; an 6-acre vineyard; and a magnificent stone-end
bank barn that
includes a winery, office and workshop.
Woods with walking trails, a long tree-lined driveway ,
man-made pond, spring house
and stone bake oven complete the picture of this very special,
secluded property which
has all the elements of country living at its finest.

entertaining

main bedroom suite with fireplace, main bath and private outdoor patio; a

entertainment on long summer evenings.
