The project is a subdivision of about 81 acres on the east side of Shiloh Road in Westtown Township. It would hold 78 single-family homes. Of those, 76 are new and 2 are existing homes that stay. The land was long known as the Stokes Estate. The plan is now called Stonecroft Estates. A builder's marketing describes it as Stonecroft Ridings.
The township and the landowner reached a settlement agreement in November 2024, after the township supervisors had denied the original conditional use application in December 2023. The settlement sets the terms for the plan. The terms include a $50,000 contribution toward traffic calming on Shiloh Road, extra road right-of-way, and a school bus stop. Roughly 48 acres is planned as open space.
The township supervisors granted preliminary subdivision approval in November 2025. Local coverage describes large, upscale homes. It also says sales could be about two years away.
