Award-winning Ha'Penny barns and manor house now for sale Since 1983, the entirety of Oley Town- ship in Berks County, Pa., has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places, so it is an ideal setting for the notable Ha Penny barns and manor house, just listed for sale by Lisa Frushone of Kurfiss Sotheby's International Realty's New Hope office. The 7.76-acre property, a manage- able and highly scenic fraction of settler Abraham Knabb's original farmstead, offers a classic Sweitzer Bank Barn with an adjacent Swiss log barn, both restored to perfection beginning in 2016. So much so, architectural firm Kautter & Kelley was recognized for its work on the barns with the Bronze Award, Architectural Excel lence in 2018 by AIA Pennsylvania and the Building Berks Historic Restoration Award -2018 Greater Reading Chamber Alliance Some people say barns tell the story of America, and the c. 1782 Ha'Penny structures, even considering adaptive reuse and changes that took place to them over two centuries, are magnificent examples of a relatively simple exterior shrouding complex interior engineering, detailed workmanship and advanced functionality. "For anyone with an interest in barns and other early farm structures, Ha'Penny Farm is a delight," says Frushone. "The barns are in pristine condition now, adapted for 21st-century rural life, and the stone manor house, which still needs interior finish work, complements the outbuild- ings, making this a complete farm estate property." In addition to the main house and bams, a bake house with red clay roof tiles brought approximately 240 years ago from Germany, spring house and spring- fed swimming pool complete this gracious piece of history. The property is offered at $1,100,000.
