A landowner has filed a preliminary plan to divide a roughly 65-acre property in South Heidelberg Township, Berks County, into five new lots for single-family homes. The land sits north of Lincoln Drive (T-666) and west of Krick Lane.
The existing house and barn would stay together on a large leftover lot that remains agricultural. Most of the acreage would therefore stay as farmland, and only a small part would be used for the five new home sites.
No news coverage, township meeting records, developer website or permits specific to this project were found online. The explanation rests on the county record alone, so the builder, the home prices and any local reaction are unknown.
What it could mean nearby
- Five new homes would add a small amount of traffic on Lincoln Drive and nearby roads.
- Most of the 65 acres would stay in agricultural use on the residual lot, according to the county summary.
- Effects on schools and utilities are not described in the records and are likely small for five homes.
Where it stands
A preliminary subdivision plan was on file with the county as of 2025-01-31. Next steps usually include township planning commission and supervisor review, then a final plan and recording of the lots once conditions are met. No approval was found online.
