Hidden Springs Farms, designed in Colonial Williamsburg style with 18th century features, is located in south central Pennsylvania at 373 Craig Road, Greencastle, Pa. (MLS: PAFL2010290). The property was recently listed for $7,500,000 by Karen Starr and Melissa Starr of The Karen Starr Team, and Jen Morris, affiliated with Coldwell Banker Realty in the Greater Philadelphia and Central Pennsylvania region. The property is also a listing with the Coldwell Banker Global Luxury program.
Built from the ground-up in 1997 and modeled after Colonial Williamsburg architecture using 18th century reproductions, the entire exterior of the home and all seven wood-burning fireplaces were constructed with handmade bricks. The home also has solid mahogany doors, intricate wood moldings, Baldwin solid brass hardware on all interior and exterior doors, Virginia Metalcrafter fixtures throughout, and antique long-leaf heart-of-pine flooring on three floors, excluding ceramic tile bathroom floors, and a Schumacher elevator servicing all levels.
The home has more than 21,000 square-feet of living space, including a total of nine bedrooms, each with an en suite bathroom with Kohler fixtures and marble enclosed showers, tubs and countertops. There are three additional half-bathrooms on the main level, lower level and pool house. In addition, an apartment above the garage has a two-bedroom apartment with a full-bathroom, full-kitchen and sitting area.
The secure entry gate welcomes you to the property along a newly repaved, tree-lined drive that is 0.75-miles long and passes one of three ponds on the way to the main house. The property listing includes two parcels of land combining 203.8 acres – the main parcel totaling 110.1 acres includes the main house, garage, equipment barn with a second floor, garden shed with an attic and flowers, plants and herbs, woodshed, playground, fenced-in vegetable garden with four different fruit trees and a small vineyard, and a fenced-in pool area; the second parcel of land has road frontage on Shinham Rd. and includes 93.7 acres of undeveloped land.

“This home was lovingly designed to create warm and inviting spaces while staying true to an 18th century colonial style with modern living in mind. As part of the sale, the caretakers who oversee the grounds are staying on staff for one year after the closing to help care for the property under the direction of the new owners. Additionally, if the buyers are interested, some of the furniture can be added to the purchase of the home.”
