Welcome to the Historic General Potter Farm — A Distinctive Estate and Premier Event Venue
Nestled on 12 picturesque acres of woodlands, rolling fields, and meandering streams just outside of State College, the General Potter Farm is a nationally registered historic property offering a rare combination of timeless charm, spacious living, and a thriving all-season wedding and event venue.
At the heart of the estate stands a stately three-story, 3,770+ sq. ft. farmhouse featuring six bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths. Rich in character, the home showcases original hardwood floors, five fireplaces (including two gas), and generous covered porches with sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. Ideal as a primary residence or as elegant guest accommodations for event attendees, the home seamlessly balances historical detail with modern comfort.
The crown jewel of the property is the beautifully restored 1830s bank barn—an extraordinary venue space designed for effortless hosting of up to 200 guests. The upper level boasts soaring exposed beams, original wide-plank flooring, an open loft, band/DJ-specific power, ambient lighting, and year-round climate control. Below, the lower level is perfect for cozy receptions and intimate ceremonies, featuring expertly repointed stone walls and a warm, inviting atmosphere. Double doors lead directly to the barnyard, offering seamless flow for indoor-outdoor celebrations.
A picturesque ceremony meadow sits just beside the barn, bordered by a gentle stream, willow trees, and wildflowers, offers a magical outdoor setting. Historic stone walls and rustic fencing throughout the property provide enchanting backdrops for photos and special moments alike.
Located in Spring Mills, PA conveniently situated between Routes 322 and 144—the estate is just 15 minutes from downtown State College and 15 minutes from Lewistown. Whether you’re seeking a distinctive personal residence, an income-producing property, or both, General Potter Farm offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of history while cultivating a flourishing business in an idyllic setting.
