About This Home

As of June 2024

Set amidst 15 acres of Solebury countryside and only minutes from downtown New Hope, Primrose Farm offers the restoration opportunity of a lifetime. The fieldstone farmhouse exudes timeless elegance and retains remarkable architectural originality, inside and out. The main residence is complemented by auxiliary buildings including an exquisite three-story stone bank barn, a two-story carriage house, a stone root cellar, and a smokehouse, each enhancing the property's historic provenance. Enjoy a sunset on the fieldstone porch overlooking two centuries-old sycamore trees or host a garden party in the fieldstone enclosed pasture.  The natural landscape teems with wildlife, while the fields, and remnants of its agricultural legacy offer possibilities for gardening or leisure pursuits. With grounds protected by a conservation easement, and farmland flanking both sides, the next steward of Primrose Farm will enjoy unmatched privacy and tranquility, guaranteed for generations. Rarely does such an untouched gem grace the market in Solebury, making this a distinctive restoration opportunity for discerning buyers seeking a quintessential Bucks County Estate.
