About
Heather Hills Farm is an public records-designated area in Edgmont Township, Delaware County, anchored along Gradyville Road and Heather Hills Lane in western Delaware County’s R-1 Rural Residential/Agricultural zoning district. The name traces directly to a working thoroughbred horse farm: C. Edward Scheivert purchased approximately 55 acres in Edgmont, built his home on the tract, and operated Heather Hills Farm as a thoroughbred racing operation. Properties in this corridor sit on multi-acre parcels—documented lots range from roughly 3.93 to 4.53 acres—with detached single-family homes dating from the mid-20th century, served by private well and septic systems. The eastern portion of Edgmont Township is occupied by Ridley Creek State Park’s 2,606 acres, whose main entrance is on Gradyville Road, providing proximate access to hiking, equestrian, and multi-use trails.
Specifications
Home Stock
The Gradyville Road address historically associated with the Heather Hills Farm name is a 1950 ranch-style single-family detached home. Other detached homes documented on Heather Hills Lane include a full-brick two-story Colonial built approximately 1976 with 3,836 sq ft on a ~4-acre lot. The area is characterized by individually sited, detached single-family residences rather than a uniformly platted subdivision.
Location & Access
The neighborhood is oriented around Gradyville Road (the unincorporated hamlet of Gradyville sits at its intersection with Pennsylvania Route 352/Middletown Road). Heather Hills Lane is a private-access lane off this corridor. The main entrance to Ridley Creek State Park is located on Sandy Flash Drive South at Gradyville Road, placing the park entrance in close proximity to this neighborhood. Pennsylvania Route 3 (West Chester Pike) and Route 352 (Middletown Road) are the primary regional routes through Edgmont Township.

What Makes This Distinct
Because Heather Hills Farm is not a platted HOA subdivision but rather a loose geographic public records label applied to large-lot, individually sited properties along Heather Hills Lane and Gradyville Road, transaction volume is inherently sparse and price benchmarks are based on very limited comparable sales; buyers should weight each transaction individually rather than treating neighborhood-level aggregates as statistically reliable.

Worth Asking
Have you considered whether the ‘Heather Hills Farm’ public records label on a prospective contract matches the specific tax parcel you intend to purchase, and whether that parcel carries any agricultural conservation easement, deed restriction, or private road maintenance obligation that a title search—not just an public records listing—would reveal?
Common Questions
Is Heather Hills Farm a traditional HOA subdivision with common fees and shared amenities?
No evidence of a formal homeowners association or common amenities was found in township records, public sales data, or public sources. The area appears to be a collection of individually owned large-lot parcels, some with equestrian outbuildings, rather than a planned HOA community. Buyers should conduct title work to identify any private road agreements, agricultural easements, or deed covenants that may run with specific properties.
What schools serve the Heather Hills Farm area?
All of Edgmont Township falls within the Rose Tree Media School District. Middle school students attend Springton Lake Middle School (grades 6–8) and high school students attend Penncrest High School (grades 9–12), the district’s sole high school. Elementary school assignment within the district depends on the specific street address; Edgmont Township properties are served by either Glenwood or Rose Tree Elementary. Buyers should confirm the assigned elementary school directly with the Rose Tree Media School District registration office at 610-627-6019, as boundaries have been under active review due to enrollment growth.
What recreational resources are accessible from Heather Hills Farm?
Ridley Creek State Park—a 2,606-acre Pennsylvania state park spanning Edgmont, Middletown, and Upper Providence Townships—has its main entrance on Sandy Flash Drive South at Gradyville Road, the primary road through this neighborhood. The park contains 12 miles of hiking trails, a 5-mile paved multi-use trail open to jogging and bicycling, equestrian trails, and trout fishing on Ridley Creek. The park also includes the Colonial Pennsylvania Farmstead living history site and a formal garden designed by the Olmsted Brothers.
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 — Heather Hills Farm is not a platted subdivision with a recorded home count.

No authoritative source enumerates all homes in this public records-defined area.
- Hoa Name — No homeowners association was identified in township records, public sales data, or public sources. The area appears to lack a formal HOA, but buyers should confirm through title work whether any private road maintenance agreements or deed covenants exist.
- Builder — No single builder is associated with the area. Homes were constructed individually over multiple decades; no named developer or builder was identified in any source.
- Elementary School Assignment — The Rose Tree Media School District elementary boundary lookup is restricted to staff intranet access.
