Pinnacle Realty Development Company has proposed 141 single-family detached homes on about 129 acres at 1440 Sumneytown Pike in Towamencin Township. The land is the former Freddy Hill Farms. Kriebel Road divides it into two sections, and about half of the site would stay as open space.
The farm and its family fun center were announced in March 2025 to close after the 2025 season. The land was not protected farmland. A township planning summary describes an earlier, larger version of the plan with 210 homes, which suggests the proposal has been scaled back. Planning Commission discussions have covered road connections, whether one access should be for emergencies only, and improvements along Kriebel Road. No vote or approval was found.
What it could mean nearby
- Traffic and access: township discussions have focused on road connections to Kriebel Road and Sumneytown Pike, and on widening Kriebel Road shoulders and drainage work.
- Open space: roughly half of the site would remain open space under the county summary.
- New homes: 141 detached houses would replace a former farm and family attraction, ending the farm's recreational use.
- Schools and utilities: the sources found do not address these.
Where it stands
The plan appears to be in township review of its subdivision and land development plan, with the Planning Commission discussing it and the latest county filing dated 2025-11-07. Next usually come recommendations from the Planning Commission, then a decision by the township supervisors on preliminary and final plan approval.
