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.

Questions to ask before you buy

Questions worth investigating for any waterfront property. They are not claims that this property has a problem or meets any condition.

1. Who owns the shoreline and the land under the water, and are there easements or public-access rights along it?Ownership can stop at a high-water line, a survey line or a seawall. A title search and survey answer this, not the listing.
2. Is a dock, slip, lift or mooring included, and do the rights transfer to you?Docks can be shared, leased, assigned by an association or held under a permit that does not automatically transfer.
3. What permits exist for the dock, seawall or other shoreline structures, and what would new work require?Shoreline work is often regulated by local, state and federal agencies.
4. How much does the water level change by season, by tide or by reservoir management?Depth at a dock in one season can differ a lot in another.
5. What does flood insurance cost for this property, and what does the current flood map show?Get a quote from an insurer or agent. A flood zone is not a premium, and no zone does not mean no risk.
6. What maintenance does the shoreline need (seawall, bulkhead, riprap, erosion), and what has been done recently?Shoreline structures are expensive to repair; ask for records and inspection reports.
7. How are water, sewer or septic, and power provided?Waterfront septic systems and wells can have extra rules and inspections.
8. How do you reach the property by road year-round, and who maintains that road?Some waterfront roads are private, seasonal or shared.
9. What local rules apply: rentals, docks, boat lifts, fences, tree removal, setbacks?Rules come from the town, county, state, lake authority or association and vary widely.
