A 95-acre property in New Philadelphia, Ohio, is being offered at absolute auction and features a blend of historic charm and functional rural amenities.
At the heart of the estate is a 2,700-square-foot farmhouse originally built in 1890 and thoughtfully renovated in 2004.
The home’s three-bedroom, two-bath layout offers comfortable modern living while maintaining a strong sense of its 19th-century roots.
The main level of the house emphasizes warmth and character. A great room with barn-style siding and a gas stove serves as a central gathering space.
The kitchen includes an island, breakfast bar, and pantry, making it practical for both daily use and entertaining.
A shared wood-burning fireplace connects the living and dining rooms, adding charm and continuity to the floor plan.
Additional living spaces include a nearby parlor equipped with a second fireplace, offering a cozy retreat for quiet reading or conversation. Upstairs, the home features hardwood floors, a full bathroom, a laundry area, and a walk-in closet. The renovation integrated modern conveniences while preserving the farmhouse’s historic aesthetic.
Beyond the main house, the property contains several useful outbuildings. These include a heated three-bay garage, a historic bank barn with a stone foundation, a hog house, and a chicken coop. Each structure contributes functional value, supporting a variety of farm or homestead operations.
Outdoor amenities enhance the natural appeal of the property. Covered porches provide scenic places to relax, while an in-ground heated pool with a deck and waterfall adds a surprising touch of luxury.
The home, pool, and garage are powered by free natural gas, reducing utility costs and adding long-term practicality.
The land itself is a major highlight, with fenced pastures, hay fields, paddocks, and a 1.5-acre pond offering opportunities for livestock, gardening, or recreation.
A ridge with panoramic views presents potential for an additional building site. The October 21, 2025, absolute auction offers a rare opportunity to purchase a versatile, historic estate with no minimum bid.
