About This Home

As of June 2025

Set along a country road on 4.7 acres, Molasses Creek Farm is a meticulously maintained farmette with 3-bedroom farmhouse, outbuildings and fenced pastures. The property is ideal for equestrian pursuits, gardening, or simply enjoying the picturesque surroundings. This circa 1790 residence features architectural details you would expect from this era, including random width floors, beamed ceilings, exposed stone walls and deep window sills. The main level includes living and dining areas, a galley kitchen, and original summer kitchen with walk-in fireplace. The second floor includes three generous bedrooms and a full bath. Walk-up access to the attic provides options to create additional living space. A 30x36 barn with six horse stalls offers ample room for equestrian pursuits and equipment storage. The workshop building is perfect for hobbyists or a potting shed. Philadelphia and New York City are conveniently accessed from this location. Historic Bethlehem, the Sands Casino, and the popular shops and restaurants of the Promenade at Saucon Valley are all a short drive from Molasses Creek Farm.
