About This Home

As of July 2021

At a time when reproducible things are plentiful, there is a growing demand for an original. This historic property, with a 1780’s heritage, is perched on a hillside in one of the prettiest locations in Bucks County. It offers open skies, lush land, and glorious long distance views, all on 14 acres. With a legacy of artists and writers, Hidden Spring is a fine example of a classic Bucks County stone colonial, with a stone bank barn and guest quarters, workshop and artist’s studio … all with views of pond and field. 600 feet above the protected valleys of Springfield Township, Hidden Spring captures the essence of Bucks County. Rich in character and comfort, the house welcomes with random width flooring, deep windowsills, antique hardware, period moldings and a plethora of architectural details, provided by time and care. A cook’s kitchen is centered between the two sides of the home, with a company-friendly center island, adjacent to a keeping room anchored by a marvelous deep set window. The first floor of the main house includes two walk in fireplaces, a wonderful dining room, and an early 1700’s room that will steal your heart. Above are four bedrooms with two full baths. This quintessential Bucks County property reveals delightful surprises at every turn. At Hidden Spring, every detail is presented artfully and joyfully, in a setting that provides seclusion in the summer and beautiful valley views in winter. This private paradise loses touch with the world just below the hills, yet is within 15 minutes of I-78, Rte 309 & the Northeast extension of the PA turnpike. Relax and let the days settle in around you.
