Abstract: Nestled in the backcountry of South Mountain in Reinholds, Pennsylvania, sits a 173-year-old retreat, Hendel Manor in Lancaster County.

The estate, which sits on 8.3 acres and features a two-story log cabin, was listed for $225,000 at the end of July and is currently awaiting sale.

 

This particularly quaint two-bedroom log cabin (we're talking outbuildings, not indoor plumbing) started out as a single-story log cabin that was part of a larger farm owned by the Leininger family.

 

Listing agent Chris Miller says, "The land was used as a celery farm." A previous homeowner is said to have mentioned that the cabin was used as part of the Underground Railroad."

Joseph Hendel, owner of the Hendel Hat Factory in Reading, Pennsylvania, bought the house from the Leininger family in 1927 and hired an architect to add a first floor and kitchen, as well as a decorative gazebo over the well.

 

Miller explains that he used a half-timbered design known as 'fachwerk,' which features a timber frame filled with stone, brick, and stucco.

 

The home was only ever used as a summer home, primarily for picnics and family gatherings, hence its rustic heating and plumbing systems.

Miller says, "As a summer home, there was a wood-burning fireplace, but there was never a need for a central heating system." It also never had any indoor bathroom plumbing."

 

The lack of amenities doesn't seem to have dampened buyer enthusiasm, as the house has already been offered.

 

The next owner will inherit the country lifestyle the house brings, including its "little red barn" - also known as an outbuilding.

 

In July, the sellers invited family and friends over for a final picnic to say a final goodbye to the beloved cottage and surrounding woods.

 

Now it's time for the next owners to make their own memories, Miller said.
