Four Chimneys Farm (FCF)
Located in one of the most prestigious equine areas in America. Whether it is Fox Hunting, Olympic training/eventing or just pleasure riding, Unionville, in the Brandywine Valley of Pennsylvania is an ideal equine environment. FCF is an architectural gem nestled in Southern Chester County.
Enter the property through a tree lined drive leading into a white gravel motor court to a U shaped courtyard framed by horse pastures, beautiful gardens and mature trees.
The home, which was constructed in 1978 with reclaimed 18th century fieldstone and wooden beams from the original period farmhouse, is modeled after a French hunting lodge. An imported French mahogany door welcomes you into the 4,825 sq ft. homes’ entrance with antique random planked floors and a massive fireplace; one of 4 working fireplaces which inspired the name Four Chimneys Farm. The 30‘ stone interior walls and spectacular 30 foot beamed ceiling are a frame for the view of the patio and in ground pool and lush 50 acres.
Adjacent to the great room is a modern kitchen with Viking Range, Sub Zero refrigerator, two dishwashers and two sinks. The kitchen also contains a mud room/sitting area and a breakfast bar.
A second stunning stone fireplace is the centerpiece of a spacious dining room with a vaulted ceiling and views of both the courtyard and gardens.
A wood paneled library offers a third fireplace and boasts a wet bar with a view of one of the most stunning weeping cherry trees.
The first floor primary suite, with the forth fireplace, is a private retreat in itself. Relax by the fireplace, while taking in the expansive views.
The primary bath features a large soaking tub, purposely placed within view of the horse fields, and a sizable glass shower with modern fixtures.
Two dramatic spiral staircases lead to a second floor balcony, that connect two private guest wings with three bedrooms/two full baths-- all designed with classic marble for timeless appeal. Each bedroom commands unparalleled vistas of the surrounding countryside.
The lower level of the house provides for practical office space, a wine cellar, storage and another half bath or a myriad of possibilities for a buyer.
There is an oversized three car garage.
Upon leaving the residence, the horse facility is ready for the buyer to explore.
The equestrian facility comprises 8 fields; each with a turn out shed and automatic waterer, an outdoor regulation sized sand dressage arena, a 70’ by 200’ indoor arena (office or apartment space) and a 13 stall barn. There is a finished tack room, a heated wash stall and an attached farm manager/groom apartment. A large tractor/horse trailer parking, hay pole barn completes this turnkey equine center, which has its own entrance and driveway.
The barn and house are on separate utilities, allowing the equestrian center to be leased as a professional operation. The property is suitable for professional competitors, fox hunting enthusiasts or pleasure riders looking to enjoy direct access to thousands of acres of open space, including access to the adjacent Cheslen Preserve.
In addition, the property is under ACT 319 (Chester County Clean & Green), as well as an easement through the Brandywine Conservancy, resulting in very low taxes ($12,000 for 2026/2027)for an estate of this size.
A buyer has many options with this property; an Agricultural/Equine business, a vineyard, or maintain the unique privacy this
property offers. Allow your imagination to run wild!
