CHECK OUT THE VIRTUAL TOUR!!
Privately nestled at the end of a long, wooded drive, this quintessential Bucks County farmhouse sits atop Kintner Hill near the Delaware River. Set on 80 unspoiled, conserved acres of woodland and pasture including the 5-acre building envelope, the c.1835 plaster-over-stone home is a rare blend of historical authenticity and thoughtful modern updates. A stately stone bank barn complements the house, creating a truly iconic country estate. Exuding old-world charm and steeped in history, the home is lovingly preserved with reverence to its 19th-century roots while embracing today’s comforts. It is an idyllic sanctuary for equestrians, hobby farmers, and nature lovers with miles of woodland trails for walking, running or riding. Bucks County Horse Park with its arenas, cross-country courses and miles of trails is just five minutes by trailer. Step inside the welcoming front porch to a large foyer featuring Moravian tile floors, custom built-ins, and an efficient pellet stove. The character-rich living room has an original walk-in fireplace with a Jotul wood stove, charming pie stairs, and transom-topped doors that open to a 500sf patio overlooking the fenced lawn and surrounding nature. The family room is warm and inviting with exposed beams, stone fireplace with insert, and an original Bible cabinet – true echoes of a bygone era. The formal dining room is bright and spacious with a French door out to the garden. The solid oak floors and hand-crafted windows throughout much of the main level reinforce the blend of tradition and modernity. At the heart of the home is the beautifully remodeled kitchen, featuring locally crafted soapstone counters and farmhouse sink, gleaming tile backsplash, induction range, stainless steel appliances, and soft-close cabinetry. Radiant-heated tile flooring extends into a sunny laundry/mudroom with wood countertops, utility sink, and access to a delightful covered back porch; perfect for enjoying a peaceful moment, listening to the birds and frogs, or watching your horses graze. A first-floor bedroom and full bathroom provide ideal guest accommodation. The second level, accessible by pie stairs or a rear staircase, includes the primary suite and sitting room, dressing room, and full bathroom, as well as three cozy bedrooms and a half bathroom. The attic offers potential for expansion. Outdoors, the open lawn, fenced paddocks, and wooded trails make this a true hobby farm. The stable complex includes five acres of wood fenced paddocks, two stalls, a tack room, and three run-in sheds, equipped with water, electricity, mats, and fans. There's also a chicken coop and raised garden beds. While secluded, the location is close to many amenities. The Delaware River, Lake Nockamixon State Park, Saucon Valley Country Club, and the Lehigh Valley's shopping and dining are all within 20 minutes. Just 90 minutes to NYC and Philadelphia, and under two hours to Harrisburg, this is the perfect, tranquil country escape, whether for weekends or a lifetime.
