Listing description

Welcome to Firefly Pines - Sophisticated country living. The existing 3,777 SF mid-century modern home, built in 1967 on 19+ acres of land that is not currently deed restricted offers a unique opportunity for expansion or complete reinvention. Whether you choose to build upon the current footprint or create a design/build that reflects your personal vision, the possibilities are endless. The home currently has a rare pending permit for a gravity-fed 5 bedroom septic system which adds exceptional value for future development. Enrolled in Act 319 (clean & green) for significant ongoing tax savings while not under conservation easement. This extraordinary property offers a combination of privacy, flexibility, and strategic value. Perched at a desirable elevation with gently rolling topography, a natural freshwater spring and expansive seasonal views. This is more than land - it's a remarkable legacy asset. With no current deed restrictions, the future owner maintains full control of land use. For those with an estate planning lens, this property presents a unique potential opportunity to unlock substantial federal and state tax deductions, and estate tax exclusions through future land preservation - a powerful vehicle for both wealth preservation and environmental stewardship. In a township where most of the larger parcels are already preserved, this property is atypical with a remarkable long-term upside. Sold as is. Located in the award-winning New Hope- Solebury School District, minutes from downtown New Hope and the Route 202 commuter corridor; 69 miles miles from the Holland & Lincoln tunnels; 67 miles to Verrazzano Bridge; 21 minutes to Princeton & 45 minutes to Philadelphia. Centrally located to rails & airports.

Assessment note: this home is assessed at $73,180, well below the ~$279,944 its asking price implies at Bucks County's common level ratio (5.6%). A sale near asking can invite a school-district assessment appeal that could raise the bill by roughly $31,048/year. Factor that into an offer.

Recomputed from the county assessment ($73,180, 1972 base year) × current millage. School millage is from the latest year certified by the Pennsylvania Department of Education (2025-26); districts adopt the next year's budgets each June, and we update when the state certifies the statewide file in the fall. Portals typically reprint the recorded 2025 bill. Pennsylvania does not reassess on sale. Estimate only. Verify with Bucks County before relying on it.

Taxes use NookLocal's estimate at current millage rates, not the stale figure on the MLS. The default rate is the average 30-year rate as of July 2026; insurance is estimated at 0.35% of the price per year. Below 20% down, lenders usually add mortgage insurance, which this estimate doesn't include. Estimate only; verify before relying on it.
