About this property
Set on 50.65 surveyed acres in Longswamp Township, 120 Benfield Road is a well-built country home with the character and setting to match. A long, private paved driveway winds in to the home, which sits well off the road for ultimate privacy. At the end of the drive, a stone and vinyl exterior and a covered wraparound porch offer a peaceful place to take in the wooded views that surround the property. Built in 2006, the 3,660 square foot main home has a warmth that comes from its craftsmanship. The trim throughout the house was milled from timber harvested right here on the property, giving the home a one-of-a-kind connection to the land it sits on. New hardwood flooring carries through the main level, where a spacious eat-in kitchen with a center island flows into comfortable living space centered around a stone wood-burning fireplace. A bonus room offers flexibility for an office or den, and a convenient mud and laundry room sits just off the entry. The first-floor primary bedroom offers main-level convenience with a walk-in closet and private bath. Upstairs, three additional bedrooms, a loft, and an updated guest bath provide plenty of space, with dormers adding light and character to two of the bedrooms. In all, the main home offers four bedrooms and two and a half baths. Comfort is built in throughout. A propane boiler heats the home, central air keeps it cool in summer, and radiant floor heat warms both the attached two-car garage and the full basement. The basement is unfinished and ready for your vision, with a second fireplace already in place and plumbing roughed in for a full bath, making it an easy space to expand into. A separate in-law suite with its own private entrance adds even more versatility. With a kitchen, living area, bedroom, and full bath, it works well for guests, extended stays, or a home office. Beyond the house, the land offers plenty to enjoy. The acreage is predominately wooded, with a well-maintained trail winding through the property for walking or riding UTVs and ATVs. A fenced pasture and horse shed sit close to the home, and residential agricultural zoning supports horses and hobby farming. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the property also offers quality deer hunting and exceptional recreational potential right outside your door. Tucked into a quiet, wooded corner of Longswamp Township with a Macungie mailing address, the property shares a border with Bear Creek Mountain Resort, with Macungie, Kutztown, Allentown, and Reading all within a reasonable drive. Route 100, Route 222, and I-78 provide easy access throughout the region. A quality home with this much character, paired with 50 plus private acres this close to the Lehigh Valley, is a rare find.

Buyer checklist
Questions worth investigating for any farm or ranch purchase. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.
- Legal accessIs there deeded or recorded access to a public road, and are there easements across the land (or that the land relies on)?
- Water rights and wellsA well, pond, creek or irrigation system does not by itself establish a legal right to use the water. Ask for the water right, permit or registration documents and test the well.
- Leases and tenanciesAre there farm, grazing, hunting, CRP, oil and gas or wind leases? Some survive a sale or require notice before they end.
- Soil and usable landHow many acres can actually be cropped or grazed? Check the NRCS soil survey and get a current lab soil test for the use you plan.
- RestrictionsZoning, conservation easements, deed restrictions, HOA rules, floodplain and wetland rules can limit what you can do.
- Building conditionBarns, fences, wells and septic systems need inspection; a listed building may not suit a commercial or livestock use.
- UtilitiesPower, water, septic capacity, internet and road maintenance: who provides them and at what cost.
- What is included in the saleEquipment, growing crops, stored hay, livestock, irrigation equipment, permits and farm program contracts are often separate. Get it in writing.
