About this home
Hidden at the end of a long gated drive in rural Haycock Township, this extraordinary country property unfolds across 43.71 acres as a remarkably private and beautifully composed Bucks County retreat. At its heart is a c1790 stone farmhouse, joined by a reimagined 19th-century bank barn, pool, pond, greenhouse, gardens and a collection of outdoor rooms that together create an exceptional country compound. The farmhouse retains the character that makes an early Bucks County home so captivating: thick stone walls, exposed beams, random-width pine floors, deep windowsills and intimate rooms with fireplaces. Thoughtful kitchen and bath renovations introduce modern comfort without diminishing its authenticity. The welcoming country kitchen features custom cabinetry, generous work surfaces and professional-style appliances, while gracious living and dining spaces connect naturally to the gardens beyond. Two main-level bedrooms offer flexibility for guests or multi-generational living, while the upper level includes the primary suite and a charming, finished attic room beneath exposed rafters and stone. Across the courtyard, the 19th century bank barn has been spectacularly reimagined into approximately 3,119 SF of additional living, studio and hobby space. Original timber framing, soaring ceilings, open catwalk and wide-plank floors preserve the drama and honesty of the structure, while thoughtfully introduced modern elements make it remarkably livable. The main gathering space rises through the barn’s exposed framework and incorporates a distinctive country kitchen with butcher-block island, custom cabinetry and open views into the living area. Two bedrooms, 1.1 baths, laundry and flexible loft and work spaces accommodate guests, creative pursuits, a studio, car collection, workshop or simply the luxury of having room to spread out. A multi-level deck and patio extend the barn outdoors, overlooking the fenced cutting and vegetable gardens and greenhouse. The grounds, enhanced by Jerry Fritz Garden Design, are nothing short of enchanting. Bluestone terraces, mature perennial borders and sculptural plantings surround the residence, while a romantic pergola invites al fresco dining beneath a canopy of greenery. A separate building with covered terrace and outdoor stone fireplace overlooks the pond, and a screened gazebo at the waters edge marks the beginning of walking paths that meander through the woods before opening to approximately 29 acres of farmland with frontage along Woodbine Road. Tucked discreetly into the gardens, the 2018 saltwater pool and spa are framed by lush landscaping and an open-air timber cabana. Planned meadows, cultivated gardens and woodland edges attract pollinators, songbirds and wildlife, while approximately ten acres surrounding the compound are deer-fenced. The vegetable and flower gardens, greenhouse with water and electric, spring-fed pond and broad open fields make the property as functional as it is beautiful. Despite its wonderfully secluded setting, the property remains convenient to dining and shopping, approximately 30 minutes from Lehigh Valley International Airport, just over an hour from Center City Philadelphia and within easy reach of NYC. Rich in history yet entirely relevant to the way we live today, this is the epitome of country sophistication, an exquisitely evolved Bucks County estate that feels both timeless and personal.

Located in quaint Applebachsville, a village that once was a daily stagecoach stop between Bethlehem and Philadelphia, this c. 1790 stone farm house with addition and classic red bank barn epitomizes fine country living. Set back from the road on 39.26 farm assessed acres, the house and barn sit proudly around the circular gravel drive lighted by carriage lamps. The acreage encompasses different environs, each intriguing. Approximately 29 acres are farmed but could be subdivided, or made into horse pasture as the land is open and flat. Woodlands provide privacy, and open lawns with irrigation system surround the compound, ideal for paddocks or play fields. A sparkling spring-fed stocked pond sits off in the distance and small creeks meander through the woods. The home's interior displays the original details and design sensibilities of updated farm house style. The living room with exposed beams and stone fireplace and the formal dining room both open to brick patios and gardens. A second stone fireplace is found in the cozy den. The large eat-in country kitchen offers an abundance of custom cabinets and granite counter space and flows to the tiled sun room with French door to patio and screened gazebo. There are two sun-filled main floor bedrooms, each with updated tiled full bathroom. The second floor comprises the main en suite bedroom with exposed beams and plentiful closet space. The most adorable guest bedroom has been created in the finished attic, complete with pie stairs, exposed stone, beams and charming built-ins. Beautiful random-width pine floors run throughout the house. Amenities such as the whole-house alarm system and generator, 2006 period-styled hand-crafted wood windows, multi-zoned hot water heat, central AC and on-demand LP hot water add comfort and peace of mind. Serenity and bucolic views from every window with easy access to the Lehigh Valley and routes to NY and Philadelphia make this charming property the ideal escape for weekends or full-time.
