Fox Hill Farm, nestled in the heart of Chester County's bucolic horse country, is an exquisite country estate and income-producing equestrian facility that evokes the best of Europe and Southeastern Pennsylvania. Situated on 80+ acres, the home was designed in 2006 by renowned architect, Richard Buchanan, who was recently named to the Forbes Top Residential Architects 2025 list. The property retains the charm of the historic farm through the rolling topography, original spring house, and barns. The home offers an abundance of modern amenities while maintaining the authentic feel of a historic fieldstone estate. Enter the stone driveway, past mature trees and horse pastures before being welcomed by mature boxwoods and garden hydrangeas at the front entrance featuring a 19th century mahogany door with period antique hardware. The foyer's black and white checkerboard Italian marble tile once graced an English manor home. Cross 200-year-old French Oak floors imported from a French chateau to discover a music room fitted for a grand piano, an elegant living room, and arched doorways to a dining room that allows views of the home's beautiful landscape. Tall ceilings and farmhouse wood floors lead to an expansive family room where one can relax in front of a large open-hearth fireplace. The kitchen was designed with reclaimed hardwood floors and exposed ceiling beams. Foodies will rejoice at the kitchen's amenities including gorgeous white marble countertops, a custom butcher block, a soapstone prep area with sink, a Lacanche range with 3 ovens, warming drawers and 7 burners, side-by-side full size Sub Zero refrigerators/freezers, a built in Miele cappuccino maker, and a Shaws Original farmhouse sink. Outside, adjacent to the kitchen, enjoy a stone barbecue complex with both propane and wood grills.

Host guests in the formal dining room, the kitchen's generous eat-in area or dine alfresco on the sweeping outdoor veranda while watching wildlife on the pond or in the back pastures.
