As of February 2024A long gated, tree lined driveway leads one into this cloistered family compound with a custom reproduction manor house, a 4 bedroom carriage house with a gated private motor court, and breathtaking gardens. Espalier fruit trees guide one through hidden stone paths to a potting house and a fenced orchard. A conservatory opens out to expansive terraces, leading to the heated in ground pool, hot tub, and stone deck, bordered with lush perennials and manicured privet. Beyond the pool is a pond with a fountain surrounded by verdant landscape and a foot bridge to the hen house. This magnificent property is set on 5 secluded acres in the heart of Upper Makefield Township. The main house features an elegantly appointed foyer with sweeping circular staircase. To the right, a formal living room with fireplace and sitting room, to the left, a formal dining room. An expansive library with fireplace provides access to the terrace. Beyond you’ll discover the commercially appointed gourmet kitchen, a breakfast room with walk-in fireplace overlooking the pool, a glass conservatory opening to expansive terraces on one side and secret gardens on the other. The main house features 6 bedrooms, 5 are en-suites with fireplaces, one has a hall bathroom. There is also a powder room and laundry room on the main level.
