Welcome to the Barn at Ash Mill. A quintessential Bucks County converted stone bank barn circa 1729.

History abounds as it was once the studio of the renowned impressionist painter and designer of stained-glass windows George W. Sotter. He was mostly known for his association with the New Hope Art Colony. The 6,880+/- sq. ft. barn was completely and thoughtfully restored in 2012 including modern amenities while preserving the historic character and charm of an old barn. Featuring geothermal green energy heating and cooling, radiant floor heating, new roof in 2024, Anderson full divided light windows, security system with cameras, and fully integrated Sonos surround sound system. The expert craftsmanship is evident from the reclaimed weathered barnwood siding to the attention to detail and quality of materials throughout. Upon entering the foyer there is a feeling of comfort and spaciousness. A vaulted ceiling, exposed beams, plaster walls and a stone wall entrance that invites you into the massive great room. Here you’ll be amazed by the 17-foot-high ceiling, walls of windows, post and beam structure and one of the four fireplaces located on the property.

This is the chance and challenge of a lifetime if you are looking to rehab a historic property in Bucks County. Steeped in creative legacy, this 18th century barn (over 9000 sq. ft. ) was once the studio of George Sotter, the renowned landscape artist and stained glass designer. Presently, three rustic living spaces with endless potential to embellish into dramatic living space. Two rooms of enormous size, once used as studios, have soaring ceilings, leaded glass windows, stone fireplaces and wood floors. An unheated 900 sq ft room previously built as a sculpture studio is attached. The bones and possibilities are definitely there! A newer 4 bay garage and garden shed compliment the very serene 11+ preserved acres with huge Sycamore trees and boxwoods. The Lahaska Creek borders a small portion of the deed restricted land across the street. Two contiguous wooded building lots, also preserved are available separately (MLS#5440437 and 5438866). New septic system installed in 2008. Property being sold AS IS
