Manhattan and 45 miles from Philadelphia. Hidden away in this
picturesque, rolling
farmland near Old Zionsville lies Skew Farm - a unique,
57-acre estate that dates

a main residence
built in the 1940s; an 6-acre vineyard; and a magnificent stone-end
bank barn that
includes a winery, office and workshop.
Woods with walking trails, a long tree-lined driveway ,
man-made pond, spring house
and stone bake oven complete the picture of this very special,
secluded property which
