Comments for 28 RUPPERT SCHOOL ROAD , Fleetwood, PA 19522
Set on seven wooded acres in Pennsylvania’s historic Oley Valley, this extraordinary stone residence blends early American heritage with the vision of nationally recognized sculptor and artist R. Scott Mundt, whose work Coracoidal Metamorphosis resides in the permanent collection of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art. Originally built in 1790, with a stone addition completed in 1830, the home was thoughtfully reimagined in 1995 by Mundt, who infused the property with artistic intention while honoring its historic character. Handcrafted elements appear throughout, including a monumental carved mantle anchoring the great room’s soaring stone fireplace, raised wood paneling, and a custom kitchen created from the home’s original windows. Across approximately 5,000 square feet, timber framing, exposed beams, and stone archways create spaces both expansive and intimate. Morning light fills the original front rooms, while skylights and soaring ceilings guide sunlight throughout the day, culminating in dramatic sunset views from the great room. A winding staircase leads to a private loft retreat with its own deck above the tree canopy, while outdoor spaces unfold around a vernal stream, waterfall, and tranquil pond frequented by blue heron and migrating geese. Naturalized gardens, mature trees, and surrounding farmland create remarkable privacy and connection to nature. Equally suited as a full-time residence, weekend retreat, or creative compound, the property includes a spacious workshop ideal for artisans and makers, and a stone barn. Located approximately two hours from New York City and just over an hour from Philadelphia, the home offers rare accessibility paired with profound serenity. Here, craftsmanship replaces excess, and luxury is defined by authenticity, artistry, and place. Schedule your private tour today!
