"The Longaberger Company is one of America's great family companies and we are proud Tami Longaberger chose our family company to market her fabulous estate, Eschman Meadows," said Howard W. "Hoby" Hanna, IV, president of Howard Hanna, the 4th largest real estate company in America and the #1 real estate company in Ohio and Pennsylvania. The family-owned Howard Hanna Real Estate Services has 134 offices across the four state area of Pennsylvania, Ohio, New York and West Virginia with approximately 4,000 real estate sales associates.  

Added Hanna, "This is a wonderful opportunity for the individual buyer or corporate enterprise buyer to own one of the Great American Estates in the tradition of the Biltmore Estate or the famous mansions of Newport, Rhode Island. Located in the beautiful countryside of Central Ohio, Eschman Meadows is within two hours from Columbus, Pittsburgh, Indianapolis, Lexington, Cincinnati, Detroit, Charleston, WV and Cleveland. It is an absolutely amazing place. As I viewed the estate, I envisioned Monet's Giverny with ivy covered exterior, reminiscent of a vintage home, and yet it is only 10 years young."

Built over the course of four years, 1998-2001, the 57,000 square foot custom designed brick home is set very privately on 200 acres of rolling countryside. The home features Georgian architecture and consists of three wings. It is designed to be ideal for family and company entertaining. The three wings include the main residence, the guest wing and the ballroom wing which graciously accepts 300 guests in elegant style.  The wings are connected via an orangery and a family room with each wing secured for privacy from the estate's main living area.  

In total, there are seven bedrooms, ten full-baths, three half-baths, seven indoor and two outdoor fireplaces. The property also has a diesel run generator house, a six-car garage and radiant heat with all heated floors including the outdoor terraces. Tremendous formal gardens, fountains and a control flow waterfall transform the back outdoor area into an oasis. Each floor of the home is poured concrete for ultimate soundproofing and a computerized system controls all mechanicals and communication.  

Featuring a six-stall horse barn, three pastures and three stocked ponds, Eschman Meadows is a wildlife sanctuary. The grand entrance frames a pastoral landscape of natural prairies and wetlands, transected by a stately driveway that builds your anticipation for the grand home at its terminus.  And as to not disturb this natural look, the property's helicopter pad and additional parking lot are both covered in sod.

Ms. Longaberger owns much of the land surrounding the 200-acres of Eschman Meadows and has first right of refusal if neighbors ever wish to sell, possibly giving access to an additional 100 to 150 acres.

The Longaberger estate, Eschman Meadows, is offered for sale for $15,000,000 by Howard W. "Hoby" Hanna, IV of Howard Hanna Real Estate Services.
