About This Home

As of February 2017

Polk Valley Retreat-An Arts & Crafts Gem on the Bucks County border in a Sublime Setting-At your doorstep a tumbling waterfall cascades more than twenty feet into a triptych of Koi ponds beneath a canopy of mature shade trees. The subtleties of nature bathe your senses in a balm of relaxation and rejuvenation. Starlight is the only luminescence after dark. Nary a house, nary a street lamp is in sight, nor will there ever be. Such is this rare location surrounded by more than 100 acres of preserved land. Sequestered atop its Lower Saucon hill overlooking the watershed woodlands and meadows of Polk Valley Run at the edge of Bucks County's uppermost boundary, this idyllically sited Arts & Crafts style residence came into being just after the Turn of the Century. Originally a rural elementary school, later converted to a 3-bedroom home, it remained unchanged for generations. Rent due: 1st month's rent, last and month's security. Note: Tenant would be responsible for snow removal, but the owner would take care of the lawn. Note: Property is also for sale. MLS# 6873157
