About this home
This stunning 37.5 acre Bucks County gentleman’s farm is the perfect family compound, weekend getaway or full-time estate. The main house, guest house and converted barn present an unparalleled opportunity in the picturesque Pleasant Valley … whose name was suggested by location after the William Penn 1737 Walking Purchase. Set well off the road at the end of a tree-lined drive, the land unfolds in layers of open, tillable ground and verdant woodlands, framed by the pristine Cooks Creek, and traversed by bridges and trails. A seasonal chorus of birds, deer and wild turkey creates acreage best described as a living landscape. The main home on the estate is a circa 1850 classic stone farmhouse. Updated over the years by conscientious stewards, the home’s modern conveniences have been tastefully and carefully blended with many original features. One former owner, a play and screen writer, shared weekends at his farm with Alfred Hitchcock and other notables. Things of culture, grace and romance abound. A stone settler’s cottage, breakfast room, formal dining room, living room and expansive sunroom boast walls of windows that overlook a party-sized terrace with stone walls and a canopy of trees. Surrounded by a white picket fence, the inground pool is just steps away and beckons on a warm summer day. Outdoor entertaining can be casual or elegant, intimate or grand - all the amenities are here. Family and friends will enjoy the guest house, fully independent from the main house. Vaulted ceilings frame cozy rooms that include a sunroom, office, two bedrooms and two baths. For those who love the magic of gardening, the property also features a greenhouse, a flourishing orchard, and raised garden beds. Preserving the farm’s history, the landmark 1800s stone bank barn was renovated and expanded in 2016 and offers extraordinary opportunities and flexibility for offices, studio space, home schooling, parties and hobbies. A two-story great room with exposed beams, stone walls and barn ladder attest to the barn’s legacy. The reimagined and expanded spaces include a full kitchen, two powder rooms, full bath, conference room, reception room and five offices. For all your vehicles, toys, equipment, and hobbies, the property offers an oversized three-car garage, a fully outfitted equipment garage with cabinetry and a workstation, plus an additional detached two-car garage. Embrace a country home without sacrificing convenience. Located just 20 minutes from the Saucon Valley Country Club, the Pennsylvania Turnpike, I-78, and New Jersey. New York City is ninety minutes and Philadelphia one hour. Savor the splendor of nature’s elegance and serenity with an abundance of privacy. Enjoy the luxury of unhurried comfort, peace, privacy and tranquility, interrupted only by nature’s wonderful sights and sounds. Additional 3 lots with 112 acres available.
