About 13 acres of land will once slated to become athletic fields will now be preserved by Natural Lands, a nonprofit.
The Lower Merion School District plans to vote Monday night to authorize the sale of the sprawling Oakwell estate to Natural Lands, a large nonprofit conservation organization.
Lower Merion schools’ condemnation of storied Main Line estate for ball fields encounters growing resistance“Conservation projects like this one have many moving parts and take time and patience,” said Natural Lands President Oliver Bass. “This is just the first step, albeit an essential one.”Oakwell contains a 20,000-square-foot brick Tudor Revival manor replete with heavy wooden doors, wainscoted library, and Mercer floor tile.
The same year it also purchased the adjoining three acre Acorn Cottage property, for a total real estate deal of the two properties $12.9 million — about the amount for the deal being voted on Monday. Under the deal being voted on Monday, the district will not be using any of the land for athletic fields, said Amy Buckman, a district spokesperson.
