About This Home

As of November 2022

Discover your new lifestyle in rural Upper Bucks County on this magical secluded estate, yet still be an easy one-hour drive to Newark Liberty Airport, 90 minutes to Manhattan and just over an hour to Philadelphia. Eleven acres of preserved land is adjacent to 120 acres of protected woodlands, allowing for your private access to miles of hiking trails that are inaccessible to the general public. The meandering private driveway leads to a 3 bedroom Tuscan Villa reproduction overlooking the beautiful Tinicum Creek. The old-world stucco exterior conceals a super energy-efficient structure while the artisan interior makes use of Venetian plaster, reclaimed bricks, antique doors, barn beams, flooring, and salvaged architectural elements. The open floor-plan features a gourmet kitchen and great room which overlooks a wrap-around stone terrace for entertaining and relaxing. Two ensuite guest bedrooms have their own private upstairs wing with vistas from their individual Juliet balconies, while the first-floor master bed and bath adjoin a serene private courtyard with access to the terrace. The energy efficient geothermal heat and air-conditioning is complemented by an alternative energy system utilizing owner-owned solar panels, a whole-house generator, and a back-up wood fired furnace allowing for the unusual ability to be off-grid for months at a time. Great restaurants, boutiques and galleries are just minutes away in the charming river towns of Frenchtown, Lambertville and New Hope. For the discerning buyer…. who appreciates having total privacy from neighbors and the world, but still be only minutes away from the things that matter. This safe-haven property is like no other. Showings do not begin until May 24 at owner's request.
