About this home
Along Laurel Ridge Road, on the quiet back side of South Mountain, sits Woods End, a log home with more than a century and a half of stories in its walls. County records date the home to circa 1850, and local historical research traces the land to a 1755 warrant filed by Swiss immigrant
Abraham Hassler, whose sons served in the Lancaster County militia during the Revolutionary War.
In 1926 Reading's Joseph Hendel added the half-timbered (fachwerk) second story as a summer retreat, and from 1965 the Jefferis family knew it simply as "Woods End."
Inside, the character is intact: hand-hewn beams, wide plank floors, plastered log walls, board doors
on strap hinges, and a wood-burning fireplace with a new Blaze King insert in the living room. The main floor has a center hall, living room and a kitchen with a peaked ceiling and a door to the side porch. Upstairs are two bedrooms and a full bath with shower and terracotta tile floor.
What a historic house usually needs, this one already has. Since 2023 the owners have installed a new septic system, full indoor plumbing with bath and laundry, 200-amp electric service, ductless mini-split heat and air, a new roof with copper flashing and cedar dormer shingles, new Pella
double-pane windows, a relined chimney, attic insulation, a basement sump pump and lead-paint remediation, roughly $119,000 in documented improvements.
The 8.3 acres are about one acre cleared and seven wooded, with a creek, springhouse, fenced
pasture and animal enclosure, fruit trees, an enclosed shed and a storage shed. The setting is private and quiet, about 15 minutes to Ephrata and Sinking Spring, in the Cocalico School District. A rare chance to own a piece of Lancaster County history, ready to live in today.
