About
Radnor Hunt is a named estate community in Willistown Township, Chester County, taking its identity from the Radnor Hunt Club — founded in 1883 and recognized by the Masters of Foxhounds Association of America as the oldest continuously active fox hunt in the United States — which relocated to its current 100-acre grounds at 826 Providence Road in 1931. The surrounding residential area developed organically over the following decades on large rural parcels, with individual lot sizes documented from approximately 2 to 51+ acres, and home styles ranging from pre-Civil War fieldstone farmhouses to mid-century colonials to recent custom estate construction. The community falls entirely within the Great Valley School District, with Sugartown Elementary School serving Willistown Township residents, and sits adjacent to over 6,000 acres of preserved open space hunted and stewarded by the Radnor Hunt and the Willistown Conservation Trust.
Specifications
Home Stock
The housing stock reflects organic, custom development across multiple decades. Verified listings document fieldstone farmhouses dating to the early 19th century (e.g., the Henry Pratt House of 1840 on Goshen Road), mid-century colonials, stone manor homes, contemporaries on multi-acre lots, and recent custom-built estates. No single builder or architectural style defines the community; construction ranges from pre-Civil War farmhouses to post-2000 custom builds. Stone construction — fieldstone, stone-and-stucco, stone colonial — appears consistently across listing descriptions from multiple brokerages.
Location & Access
Primary access roads include Providence Road (formerly Boot Road), Goshen Road, Dutton Mill Road, Jaffrey Road, and Line Road. The area lies between Lancaster Pike (US-30) to the north and West Chester Pike to the south within Willistown Township. Regional access is provided by Route 202 and the Pennsylvania Turnpike.
Location Anchors
What Makes This Distinct
Because Radnor Hunt carries no formal HOA and developed through organic, custom construction rather than a single platted subdivision, properties vary substantially in size, age, style, and lot configuration — a structural feature that creates both opportunity and due-diligence complexity for buyers who must evaluate each parcel individually against Willistown Township zoning, on-lot utilities, and conservation easement status.
For Buyers & Sellers
If You’re Buying
Premium market at $1.9m median. historically strong appreciation. competitive market. high turnover means more inventory.
If You’re Selling
Exceptional appreciation – sellers gained $1041k on average. outperforming the district by 193%. properties doubled in value (107% gain). active market (12 day median). median sale price $1875k.
Worth Asking
Have you considered that when a community has no HOA and no common covenants, the burden of due diligence shifts entirely to the buyer — meaning lot-by-lot review of conservation easements, septic suitability, and Willistown Township zoning district classification becomes a prerequisite before any offer, not an afterthought?
Common Questions
What township is Radnor Hunt in, and why do some listings show different ZIP codes?
The core of the Radnor Hunt area lies within Willistown Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania. However, the public records ‘Radnor Hunt’ subdivision designation is applied to properties with three different mailing addresses — Malvern (19355), Newtown Square (19073), and Berwyn (19312) — depending on which part of the surrounding countryside a parcel sits in, and some properties may cross into adjacent Easttown Township. This page covers the Malvern/19355 portion. Buyers should confirm the precise township, school assignment, and zoning district for any specific address directly with Willistown Township at 610-647-5300.
Is there an HOA in Radnor Hunt, and what governs the neighborhood?
No HOA has been identified in public records for the Radnor Hunt area. The community developed organically on large rural parcels rather than through a single planned subdivision with recorded covenants. Governance comes from Willistown Township’s Zoning Ordinance (Chapter 139), which includes Rural and Open Space Conservation districts with significant lot size and environmental protection requirements, and from any individual conservation easements that may encumber specific properties. Buyers should obtain a title search and review any easements — particularly conservation easements held by the Willistown Conservation Trust or the Brandywine Conservancy — before closing.
What school does Radnor Hunt feed into within the Great Valley School District?
Properties in the Willistown Township portion of the Radnor Hunt area are served by the Great Valley School District, with Sugartown Elementary School — located in Malvern within Willistown Township — identified as the most common elementary school assignment in public sales data. The district also includes Great Valley Middle School and Great Valley High School. School boundary assignments can change; buyers should verify current assignments directly with the Great Valley School District at gvsd.org before relying on any listing-sourced school information.
Items to Verify with Your Agent
A few specifics on this page are sourced from secondary aggregators or older filings. Confirm before relying:
- Approx Homes — Radnor Hunt is an organically developed estate area, not a platted subdivision with a recorded lot count. No authoritative source documents a total home count. Public records shows approximately 9-12 active/recent listings at any snapshot; all-time sales data and the large acreage involved suggest a relatively small number of homes spread across a large geographic area, but no verifiable count exists.
- Builder — No single builder. Homes were constructed organically across multiple decades (pre-Civil War through post-2015) by various custom builders including E.B. Mahoney, John McClatchy (121 Davis Rd, 1967), Robert McElroy (1975), and Providence One Development (recent), among others. No master developer.
- Hoa Name — No HOA found in public records or through any public source. The community has no recorded covenants or association structure. Confirmed absent.
- Entity Type — Preset as ‘subdivision’ but Radnor Hunt is more accurately a named geographic community/estate area anchored by the Radnor Hunt Club in Willistown Township, without a formal plat or single developer. The public records uses ‘RADNOR HUNT’ as a subdivision tag for marketing convenience. The ‘subdivision’ designation is retained because public sales data is structured around it, but reviewers should be aware this is a loose geographic area, not a formally platted subdivision. A ‘main_line_community’ or ‘historic_district’ designation could also apply.
- Interior Sqft Range Text — Range derived from public records listing descriptions across the broader Radnor Hunt area (not exclusively 19355 parcels). No authoritative dataset provides a verified sqft distribution for the 19355-only portion. Listing-sourced range of approximately 3,900 to 12,641+ sq ft is documented but not statistically representative.
- Avg Year Built — The public records-derived average year built of 1955 is plausible given that the Radnor Hunt Club established its Chester County presence in 1931 and estate residential development followed in subsequent decades. However, individual properties range from pre-1800 farmhouses to post-2015 custom builds. The 1955 average likely understates the age of historic farmhouse properties while overstating the age of newer construction. Flag for reviewer: this average reflects an organic, wide-ranging stock.
- Cross Border Note — Township Assignment — Most Radnor Hunt properties are in Willistown Township, but some Berwyn (19312) addresses may fall in Easttown Township. Buyers must verify township for any specific parcel. The subject page’s public sales data is anchored to 19355/Malvern.
