5496 APPLEBUTTER HILL ROAD

COOPERSBURG, PA 18036

Set atop scenic Applebutter Hill and nestled beneath towering pines, this enchanting c.1850 farmhouse offers a rare blend of historic character and thoughtful modern updates. Once the site of a 1700s log cabin that housed John George Reinhard, his wife Maria, and their ten children, the home still honors its heritage—reclaimed wood from the original structure can be found throughout, adding warmth and authenticity. In 2019, the home was significantly expanded and transformed with a 1,300+ square foot addition, now offering 3–4 bedrooms, 3 full baths, and a lifestyle deeply connected to the land. Nearly 7 acres of open fields surround the home, complete with raised-bed vegetable gardens, a deluxe predator-proof chicken coop, and four freshly repainted outbuildings totaling over 2,000 square feet—perfect for hobbies, studio space, or covered parking. Inside, earth tones, exposed beams, and hardwood floors ground the home in rustic charm, while numerous, sunlit windows, new in 2019, frame views of flowering gardens, open pastures, and distant valley farmland. The heart of the home is a bright family room that opens to a beautiful kitchen with custom cabinetry, hand-hammered copper sink, propane cooking, and upgraded granite counters. Glass doors open to a tranquil landscaped courtyard with stone waterfall, pond, and a towering dogwood tree—ideal for morning coffee or evening gatherings. The living room’s stone fireplace adds cozy ambiance, while the den with full bath and separate entrance offers flexibility for a fourth bedroom suite, guest space, or home office. Upstairs, the light-filled primary suite features a private balcony overlooking the countryside, spa-like bath with jetted tub and walk-in shower, and a generous walk-in closet. Two additional bedrooms, one with its own sitting room, share a hall bath with double vanity. Located in the Blue Ribbon Southern Lehigh School District, just 20 minutes from Allentown, 90 minutes to Harrisburg and Philadelphia, and under two hours to NYC, this peaceful retreat offers both weekend inspiration and full-time potential. Whether you dream of hobby farming, multi-generational living, or simply a quiet place to reconnect with nature, this is a property to be cherished.
