A Rare Gettysburg-Area Historic Estate — Lightner Farmhouse & Cottage Step into history at the extraordinary Lightner Farmhouse, a distinguished Federal-style residence built in 1862 by Sheriff Isaac Lightner and that was a hospital during the Battle of Gettysburg. Located along Baltimore Pike, just three miles from historic Gettysburg, this remarkable property offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of American history. Set on 3.3 acres with an additional 15.3 acres of partially wooded land, the estate features a total of seven bedrooms and seven baths between the main residence and attached Cottage. Operating as a bed and breakfast since 1998, the property is pristine, move-in ready, and offers exceptional versatility for continued hospitality use or conversion to a single-family residence. Timeless architectural details include original fireplaces, beautiful wood floors throughout, a charming beehive oven, exposed wood beams, a welcoming covered front porch, and a brick walkway that enhances its historic character. The main residence offers inviting gathering spaces, including a parlor, dining room, kitchen, and family room. The main house connects to private 2-story Cottage via a stoned floor, glass-enclosed breezeway. The Cottage features a private upper-level bedroom, bath, and living area, ideal for guests or extended stays. Rich in history, character, and possibilities, this exceptional property is a rare offering in the Gettysburg area, combining historic significance, generous acreage, and timeless charm.
