Polk Valley Retreat-An Arts & Crafts Gem on the Bucks County border in a Sublime Setting-At your doorstep a tumbling waterfall cascades more than twenty feet into a triptych of Koi ponds beneath a canopy of mature shade trees. The subtleties of nature bathe your senses in a balm of relaxation and rejuvenation. Starlight is the only luminescence after dark. Nary a house, nary a street lamp is in sight, nor will there ever be. Such is this rare location surrounded by more than 100 acres of preserved land. Sequestered atop its Lower Saucon hill overlooking the watershed woodlands and meadows of Polk Valley Run at the edge of Bucks County's uppermost boundary, this idyllically sited Arts & Crafts style residence came into being just after the Turn of the Century. Originally a rural elementary school, later converted to a 4-bedroom home, it remained unchanged for generations.

Rural Agriculture District
The Rural Agricultural District provides a rural low-density living environment. The area is extensive and without development-related public facilities, such as water and sewer. The district is established to encourage agricultural and related activities, as well as to conserve unique natural features, such as flood prone and sloping areas, forests, and wildlife habitats and to help protect the watershed areas for the Springtown Water System and the Hellertown Water System water supplies. This district is established also to allow development while encouraging protection of valuable natural resources.
