About This Home

As of August 2022

Original Mergenthaler House c. 1859. Set on 41.45 Acres and set far back from Stump and Schlenz Hill Rds. lies this beautiful, serene, private and pastoral property; the perfect place to live and/or farm! Nothing to compare it to for this price in the Central Bucks area that is as comprehensive with so many possibilities to offer. The property consists of a "vintage farmhouse", a separate detached updated and 2bed/2 bath carriage/guest house, detached storage room with two-car garage, inground pool, 6 stall horse barn, and a pond and large red barn most buildings are serviced by a Generac generator. All structures are routinely cared for and well-maintained for their function and form. Pure and Simple with the possibility to have a self-sufficient old-fashioned farm. Numerous Wildlife includes deer, turkeys, fox, owl, turtles and fish in the pond, and more; a nature beautiful sanctuary that pleases the eye!
Added features include newly installed 5- foot solar powered electric fenced pastures to suit new owner's purpose to house and keep horses, a tree farm, or vineyard, or enjoy keeping animals etc. 37 Acres are Preserved (document available) in the rear of the property with a 25 acre township Conservancy directly behind this property. The farmhouse and other buildings, including the large red barn and horse barn with 6 stalls sit within a 3-acre building envelope for the buyer either renovate the well-maintained residence and/or expand it. *The detached guest house serves as a wonderful cottage with a relaxing porch, 2 bedrooms/ 2 bathrooms, a nice kitchen, fireplace, and laundry room. In addition, there is a detached office space with adjacent two-bay garage. A very charming, quintessential small farm in a beautiful,
private setting. Numerous Wildlife includes deer, owl, fox, turkeys, and more!
