Be prepared to captivated by this idyllic 47 acre Bucks County Farmhouse Estate, now available for purchase. Rarely does a time-honored property of this magnitude became available in such a highly sought after location. This splendid offering, with a home that a portion of which dates back to 1750 and one of the most spectacular ponds you will find anywhere, offers a once in a lifetime opportunity. Thoughtfully updated many times along the way, a gated entry and long driveway reveal a tranquil natural setting that one would expect from such a storied property. Featuring 3/4 bedrooms, original pumpkin pine floors, the home is a picture perfect rendition of a colonial era farmhouse modernized for today's living. Neutrally appointed, quite spacious throughout, and full of natural light with long distance views from many vantage points, the home is in mint, turn key move-in condition, and it will feel like "home" from moment you enter. The gourmet kitchen features high end appliances, marble counters, island seating for four and adjoins the family room and three seasons sunroom, making this space ideal for entertaining. The office/library has built-ins and a wall of windows with long distance views. The formal dining room can accommodate a large gathering, and the original "keeping room" is flexible space for use as a formal living room or breakfast room. A laundry room and powder room complete the main floor. The upper floor reveals the beautiful Primary Suite and huge Primary bath, bright and airy bedrooms 2 and 3, spacious hall bath, a bonus room that could be for entertainment, quiet study, or use as bedroom 4, and large walk-in hall cedar closet. There is also basement access from inside the house and outside as well. Once outside, the timeless Bank Barn has multiple levels and is in immaculate condition as well, a two car garage and additional carport will house up to 10 cars under cover. A well appointed small animal barn with stalls, multiple pastures, enchanting pond and pump house, and ample open space and woodlands make this an outdoorsman's paradise. Equestrian assets are present as well. This most distinguished offering consists of three contiguous parcels totaling 46+- acres. Although the properties are in conservation and cannot be sub-divided, a generously sized 4.5 acre building envelope will accommodate a permitted additional home and ancillary uses, and additional structures, thus creating a true family compound opportunity. Coupled with the connection to natural gas ( w/ whole house backup generator ), the home is connected to public water and public sewer, a rarity for a property of this age and magnitude. All of this plus super low taxes equals a rare chance to acquire a legacy Bucks County Farmhouse property located in the Heart of the Council Rock School District, just minutes to Newtown Boro, Doylestown, Yardley and New Jersey Bridges.
