Illegal Lower Heidelberg farmhouse is being dismantled

by Steve Reinbrecht

A farmhouse in Lower Heidelberg that had been completely renovated and occupied by happy residents is being dismantled after the owner lost a fight against deed restrictions.


In the summer, the owner, Leonard Leibman, posted a sign at the property at 190 Evans Hill Road asking for someone to remove the house. Berks Nature had demanded Leibman remove it after Leibman built a new house on the property. A deed restriction from the 1970s limits the number of buildings on the pastoral 83-acre property.

It looks like windows have been removed at least.

Leibman did not return messages.

Berks Nature spokesperson Tami J. Shimp said she has had no news about the property since I spoke to her in July.
