Estate Sale! Redstone Farm, located in Bucks County is part of an original William Penn land grant dating back to 1681. From colonial times it was a working dairy farm. Since the 1960’s its been a 9.56 acre Gentleman’s Farm. A pony and three horses called the accompanying red stone barn home for 30 years. Three family’s have held the property for 250 of it’s 330 year history. The house and barn are constructed with locally sourced red stones and timber. The nearly quarter mile driveway keeps the home well away from a modest country road. Fields once planted now sport hickory, red oak, maple, walnut, catalpa, and cedar trees. Deer, fox, rabbit, turkeys and pheasants often grace the three lawns. The horse pasture is now filled with trees and raspberry bushes and will need brush and timber work to return to pasture. Remnants of a wood and wire fence outline the pasture. A small creek fed by freshwater springs and another creek run along the southern border. A utility company is your southern neighbor with little to no chance of development. The other five neighboring lots are occupied with no additional construction in several decades. The house consists of two sections (old and older) with front and rear porches. The older 1700’s section is stone and timber constructed with a den/office and 1-2 bedrooms and 1.5 baths with a walk in fireplace with a wall cast-iron oven insert. This section has two floors with a small spiral staircase. The two rooms on the second floor have been used as both bedrooms and an office. There are two external entrances to this section of the house. External dimensions are 19’x24’. The old section (1800’s) is signature Redstone and timber construction with hard wood floors, and wood nails in roof timbers. This part of the house has two fireplaces, a kitchen, dining room, living room, office, three bedrooms, 1 bath, and an amazing open attic. There are two entrances to this section of the house as well as a separate basement entrance. The kitchen was modernized in 2002 with electric range, oven, dishwasher. A fireplace warms the living room, and another exists in the master bedroom. The old section has a basement with a cement slab. Built over an artesian well, the well now feeds an overgrown pond. This well provided families living there with sweet water until the 1980s. The house now has a drilled well (120’), and a septic tank. The barn has its own well water, pumped the old fashioned way, by hand. The third floor attic is large with open beams, wood nail pegs, 4 windows and 12” wide floor planks. Upstairs and down, the house is graced by hard wood floors. External dimensions are 30’x35’. The new owner will want to update or reconfigure to taste. At least fifteen generations called this property home. With the right stewards, and proper care, it can be home for many generations to come.
